Weapons

Wow, can you believe it? They actually gave me a new weapon at karate tonight! Not that I know anything on how to use it. I will probably beat myself up more than anything else. LOL I am excited though- my first pair of nunchucks. How cool is that? I already have a bow that I am finally learning to use without injuring myself as much. Not proficient at it yet but I hope to be some day. It won't be too long before I am training on the nunchucks so I'm geeked. I am sure that I will sport some nice bruises to show for it too. :)

I also refereed my first katarte match tonight. I sucked but that was ok, it's all about learning and they were trying not to get me too confused. All good! Just had to share!

Yes to Yoga!

I use to do yoga all the time when I was working full time. Don't know what happened to that dedication. I must have lost it somewhere between work and having kids. :) So the other day I decided that I need to get back into doing it again. I know my body felt a lot better when I was doing it all the time. Especially my back. I have to say that doing it for the first time in who-knows-when it went really well. I found out I still have a lot of flexibility and can do most of the poses fairly decent. I'm excited about that cause I thought I had lost a lot of that by not doing it for so long. Not only that I thought my knee would bother me to much to do it again. But that wasn't the case. It felt pretty good. I could tell that I worked out the next day due to the soreness of some of my muscles. Forgot I had some of them. :) But got my mat out the next day and did it again. The only thing that bites is that I have to get out of bed and doing the workout at 6am. Oh well, it's worth it. Here's to yoga. Now only if I could get that darn bike ride in it would be perfect. lol

The cake did it!

Ok, so I'm trying to be good about what I eat and getting in some exercise. I have been doing some weights and walking to keep me moving. And karate is twice a week. But this past weekend we had a birthday party for the kids. The kids had a great time and lots of people came. It was nice. However, the following day I think I had the effects of too much sugar! :) Is that possible? Yes, not that I want to admit it since I am a sugar freak. Cake. It was yummy, frosting covered, yellow/chocolate cake. I have to say that it tasted great! But with the cake there was lemonade, punch, pizza and pop, also. I'm sure that the sugar from the drinks and empty carbs fromt he pizza didn't help. The next day I was tired and had no motivation what-so-ever. Not for a walk or weights. Probably because I had 2 pieces of cake instead of one. Definately the cake. lol
