Today during classes I was able to get a lot of my requirements done. That's nice, but I forgot my rolls and falls. I forgot when Davis was on the cycle and it looks like I am on my way for mine as well.

1/7th of the way done

My thigh is close to being back to the size of normal thighs! I was able to go the entire day without using crutches. I'm trying to take it easy. I did my poomsaes and self defenses but I had some trouble with kicks. So I have to be very careful. It feels like I'm doing an extra few days of empathy training! Also today I found out that I will need braces soon. I'm excited because I might have them done and over with by college!

A trip to Los Gatos

Today my family and I went to Los Gatos. It's a nice city in California. Me and my family ate at a restaurant called Andole. It was a Mexican restaurant and I had a beef burrito with rice. I thought the food was delicious and I smiled afterward. Tonight my Aunt Robin is coming over and I can't wait to see her.

The Weekend

Overall, had a pretty good weekend. CrossFit Kids program was a lot of fun to help out with again. After that, I had a chance to finally get over to the Y near my house. It is actually located above the Town Hall in Harrisburg. Much smaller gym than I am used to, but it has all of the basics, and everything I need! I plan on going there at least a couple of times a week! The real challenge will be getting my wife to go with me. Haha!

"Maw Maw' needed a nap

Grand baby visit today ! YEAH ! I truly do love the visits. I have to say though, I know why women my age may should steer from having babies. It is exhausting! And, I thought sparring class was bad.. lol Still working out some soreness. Feel pretty good today, working on finding the right combinations of calories and intake based on excursion. I am doing requirements late tonight because I hate to admit it, but after my visitor today, "maw maw" needed a nap. I really was just helping the dog out, cause she needed one too, and I didn't want her to feel lonely. Happy Monday everyone !

Poom Sae Heaven

I love a class that concentrates on poom saes! But I was so tired! Had a tough work out at Crossfit on Friday that killed my legs.....so all the stances were killing me! I think I have my brain wrapped around most of the WTF style changes....kind of makes me feel like a white belt again! So hard to break those old habits, too! So, that will be my focus this week...practicing the high belt poom saes with the WTF requirements! Did a 3 mile run today. It was slow, but steady. Ready for Week 6 of Summer Camp!

I decided to run just a mile tonight and see how fast I could do it. I really don't enjoy running so when I take off for 3 or 4 miles I have a pretty slow pace. Tonight I just wanted a mark so I could have something to beat. I did pretty well. The phone keeping track of distance didn't work very well, but it was under 8 1/2 min; perhaps 8:20. Pretty good for me, especially with hills.

Sunday

I am going to happy dance today - -write this one down - -I ran twice today - -and by choice. Requirements were ok but on the domestic front all was complete so can go into the week with focus on work and requirements. I am finding out that altering my requirements on some days is going to work best instead of trying to do everything all at once.

the farm

Today was a fun and exhausting day. First we (bro mom sis) went to the new house (its in Davidson, were not like moving states/country or andything like that) and we picked out all of the things were not painted well (becasause we are having the house really remodeled and we hired people to do that for us, like paint, install new stuff). It made me want to throw up because we got new floor and the polish for the floor really stinks.After that we went to a farm to do about 2 to 3 hours of community service, and it was really exhausting. It was really hot.

Ok so today I actually did something!!! So At like 11 AM we (mom, bro, sis) left to our new house and we just hung around criticizing the paint job, then we headed to this farm called Lomax (an hour away) for community service. So now I cann write my community service essay, and its also good because I need community service for NJHS (National Junior Honor Society, I don't want to write it all but I guess the people reading my journal entry will wonder what it is) so its like a double bonus, plus last year my community service essay was kind of terrible because it was done last minutebecause we did't know about that farm so we did't know what to do. So then we came homw at like 6 PM and then did my night routine. So good night (or day if your reading this in the...

  1151 Hits

Quads are overrated anyway right?

I went to sparring class yesterday. I sparred with Louis on the last match. It was going okay, but Louis got me in the thigh. I iced it in the car and I went to my aunts house. I thought that it was just going to bruise because this had happened before with someone else and I was fine in a few hours. Well, in this case, after a few hours of ice and rest my thigh had swelled so much that it looked like 1 1/2 thighs put together! This morning, the swelling had gone down a little bit but, I still needed crutches to walk. I hope that it gets better soon though, so I can catch up on my requirements.

experience

They had to close the airport 20 minutes prior to our departure due to lighting.   But the good thing of it all we were able to leave about 1 1/2 hrs later.   We arrived Hawaii very late and of course our luggage is still in transit; other than that everything is well. For dinner, I had stir fry vegetables with steamed rice and shrimp.  Then off to bed!

Long day. Good Day.

Long day. Good day. I haven't been home long, but I did do a couple sparring rounds before coming in for the night. I love these warm summer nights. My kick bag and bob are both kept outside so the warm weather makes it much easier to use them. Black Belt class was good. Changes to Koryo and Geum Gang (sp?) ... Thank you Master Evins for the repetition today. It seems to take me forever to remember poomsaes so the more I can do them the better. Lots of milk today, and not a lot of solids but in general I feel much better than I did yesterday, internally. Muscles feel better today too after Black Belt class. I still have some requirements to try and finish up tonight before I call it a night. I hope everyone has a great Sunday. My grand daughter is visiting in the morning,...

Today I woke up late and had to get ready for Black Belt Class fast. There was just one problem my dad had taken the van and my mom can't drive our car cause it is stick shift. So I ended up missing Black Belt Class and I couldn't go to Sparring Class since I had Scuba Diving at that time. I did Scuba Diving for 3 hour and then got a smoothie at Smoothie King. After some time I went to the Concord Mills Mall and got some Elite Socks. Then my mom took me and my sister to Olive Garden. That is all I did for today.

Traveling

Today we left to California to visit my grandparents.  On one of the planes the captain let us go into the cockpit they showed us how some of the controls work. I was on the right and my brother, Trent, was on the left cockpit. When we got there we put our bags in the guest room. I was so excited to see my grandparents when I got back from my trip. I had lots of fun at the house and enjoyed the moment. At their house we got to go into the hot tub for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. I can't wait to see what we will do tomorrow.

Thank goodness there weren't changes for every single poomsae ever or I would have a really hard time! I couldn't finish all of my requirements today but I got a lot done before class which I am grateful for, because if I hadn't done any this morning, I wouldn't have done any at all! Overall, today was pretty good and I look forward to tomorrow!

Last night was my first class back after being on vacation. My boys and I enjoyed cruising the Caribbean with family. I got up early and walked and or ran several miles several days. I also found time for some quiet meditation. I have never taken such a long vacation and it was refreshing and really nice to be totally disconnected for a while, even with the short break in Puerto Rico. I noticed emailed from Master Chelley regarding credits for Kukkiwon Cup and the King Tiger 5K, so those along with my other accomplishments since I last logged in have been logged in today. Thank you Master Evins for the credits! I’ll have to be more diligent about logging in and journaling.When I came back home I repacked my suitcase to head to Chicago for work.

My car is totaled, my back and neck hurt a little, and I scraped my left shin. But I got out of the car and walked over to talk to the witnesses. When the police finally got the other guy out of his truck (it was halfway up a telephone pole), they took him away in handcuffs. So why was it a great day? My son wasn't with me. He almost came to class with me tonight but decided not to come at the last minute. My daughter and husband are in Florida, so my baby boy would have been alone if anything had happened to me.

Yesterday slipped away quickly and I don't know what I was thinking about what time I would be back home. Ended up later than midnight so I missed my journal entry. I had a blast at a concert though. I don't remember the last time I went to a concert. Sad part is I'm really not sure if it has actually 'been that long' or If i just 'don't remember'. Either way, last night was enjoyable. Inst. Tucker joined up in Belmont tonight for class. It was really great to have her there. I am doing 'okay' on my requirements. I'm pretty sore. Trying really hard to stay on top of everything. One day at a time. I hope to be able to make it to BB class tomorrow night and stay for PMAA.

today i didn't go to tkd so today was a more calm day and hard work day because today i went to Virginia to pick up my basset hound puppy he's really cute and but the side effect is that he poops a lot and pees a lot so its nasty and i got to pick it up because as my parents said its my dog so i have to take care of him! but i really like him and as i said he poops a lot and pees and he did it on the carpet and the wood floor :( but as always a baby dog has to go pee or poop when he's done eating and drinking. The car ride to Virginia was long i had nothing to do i was siting there just thinking about how my dog would be i kept thinking about how i would have...

July 15, 2015

Today I woke up around 1 am and I couldn't go back to sleep. So I ended up doing 100 push ups and 100 sit-ups in the morning. I did all my requirements early in the morning so I could go to my friends house. There we played Infected on Call of Duty Ghost and we also played Clash of Clans. We also played football and soccer. In the night we went for a jog at the same time play football. My dad came to get when we came back but he let me stay.

Obstacles

Today, I had quite a lot of trouble fitting my requirements in! I got up at about 8 and did my run at about 9. Then, I had to do as much as I could until I had to leave to volunteer. I was there for 4 hours and then, I went straight to faith formation at my church. I stayed there for 3 hours and didn't get home until about 8:30!! I still had to do all of my poomsaes and self defenses. I just finished about 3 minutes ago!

Yesterday,...

Yesterday, I attended my first BB and PMAA class since my ACL surgery. I'll tell you what makes the KT program so strong is the people. Everyone is so welcoming and genuinely happy to see you back. I love all of my students, fellow black belts and instructors.

I find it ...

I find it challenging being getting random acts of kindness being at home with the kids all day during the summer. I either need to get out more, or just be nicer to my kids. I guess I will get out more.

Wednesday

Let's just say Wednesdays are not the best for me. Crazy, insane busy day at work - - - -got home- -sat on the sofa for a moment and it was all over. I went to a happy place all snuggled with the fur balls for more time than should have allowed. Oh well - got some requirements in but am recharged. Besides the girls needed cuddle time.

Today at summer camp we saw The Book of Life. The movie is a animated film about some kids on a tour of the museum where the tour guide is telling them about the town San Angel. The story came to life and takes them on an adventure. The moral of the story was to be yourself even when your afraid.

Yesterday

Yesterday was a very good day. We have been in Florida for three days but yesterday was the best. We went to Miami. We visited my mom and dads high school Sunset High. We saw one of their friends, his name is Gus. He is very nice. We left to get me a hair cut. One of my moms friend is a barber and he hooked me and my brother up. Then we spent time with my moms best friend . We got back to Marco at 1: 00. Yesterday was a good day.

Wednesday

Had a good class this morning with Masters Shin, Hartle, and Cavazos. Got to work on Pal Gwe forms, and also a good focus on black belt forms. My Pal Gwe forms are definitely getting better, but I know I still have a ways to go on them. For my creative form, I am definitely going to be doing a staff form. I have part of it down...mainly have to work on the beginning and end! (Of course also finding a cool song to do it to!)

Very good BB class

Enjoyed BB class  yesterday.  I appreciate the way Master Evins drilled us on our forms, a very good sweat.  So nice to see Master Shin back in PMA.  For breakfast this morning I had my egg whites, a few strips of bacon and of course my coffee.
