aiyah!

Karate is a great thing for me. It really helps keep me motivated to keep going. I have goals for that and it translates into goals in other parts of my life. It's a wonderful thing! Been a little home bound this week because I'm packing an extra little one and no room in the bike trailer for her. However that doesn't mean I can't get my workout in. Let me tell you that carrying two little ones at the same time can be a real workout. Yesterday I had one in the backpack and one in the frontpack and walked for 45 minutes. I was sweating by the time I was done! It was great!

Tonight I get to go to karate, have someone coming over to watch the kids. I'm looking forward to it. We always do a lot of kicks and punches in low stances so I get a good workout. Plus the self-defense that we learn is always good! I'm hoping by October to be able to test for my next belt, if not sooner. It will depend on how often I can get to karate during the summer. It's a busy time of year for us, so it's nice when I can get to karate at least once a week right now. 4 more belts until I get to black! WooHoo. I'm hoping to get there in 3 years so wish me luck!
