Another Rank

Yep. I am now officially a 2nd grade brown belt. So what does that really entail? Well, about 2 1/2 years of training, a bunch katas, a number of different kicks & punches, along with self defense, a handful of teaching hours and a couple of book reports, and some weapons training. When it's put like that it doesn't seem like a lot. Trust me though it takes some work. Which is why I'm excited to make it to the next level. It's kind of scary too that within a year I could actually be testing for my first black belt. This, of course means that I would have mastered being a student. :) Exciting. And in the process of doing something I really love I get a good workout.

Speaking of workout, I made it to the gym today. Yeah!!! 1/2 hour on the bike. It felt pretty good. I know that I really need to do more but with one particular child having some separation anxiety I really felt that 1/2 hour was a good length of time. So over all, I'm feeling pretty good about this week with the workouts I've been able to get in (karate 2x, gym 1x, 2 walks each 30 min, and some steps). Now as long as I don't sabotage it with the wrong diet....I'm hungry! :)
