Candidate Journals

King Tiger Tae Kwon Do Black Belt candidates blog daily about their journey: their thoughts and feelings, their struggles and successes; their pain and their encouragement. Follow along on their journey; words of encouragement are always welcome!

Workouts

I felt like the workouts were becoming routine, so I decided to break them all down in 1-minute increments.  Let me tell you the amount of energy I put into the workouts today were 1000% better than my previous ones.  Gotta find ways to keep the monotony at bay when working out!

Tuesday

Yesterday was such a great day. I got some stuff done around the house and all my work outs done by 2 PM then got to spend the evening with friends. Looking forward to tomorrow and my day off from working out.

White belt

So this week, I decided to do my white belt challenge. It was so wild going to the back of the line again and working on the fundamentals. This journey is amazing and is teaching me so much.

Day Off

Today is my day off from working out, I have been looking forward to this all week long.  I have to tell myself to give my body rest after a long week of work, working out, and taking care of my kiddo. Being a working adult and doing cycle is hard but as long as I take care of myself, I can do anything.

Week 2

Getting through pre-test was tough but did way better than I expected.  My whole body hurts A LOT, but now we are on week 2 of cycle and every body part should be getting used to this training.

Sparring

Yesterday was my first sparring class.  I will say sparring kicked my butt, but it was more fun than I expected.  Looking forward to today's rolls and falls class.  First week almost complete!

Running

I hate running, it is literally the bane of my existence, however if you run to good music, it is not as bad.  Today I did my fastest mile with proper musical motivation.  Every step hurt because I am so sore from training, but it is worth it because I can do hard things and I will be strong.

We can do hard things

What a first day of cycle!  I always tell myself I can do hard things and I can, but this is so much harder than I expected. It is important to keep in mind that it is only day 1 and each day will make me stronger and better.
