Monday thru Weds will be protein & fat heavy with lighter carbs. I expect to come in shy of maintenance, but that's not specifically the intention, so we'll see I keep careful records of weight and measurements so I'll let ya'll know how this goes! Especially energy for workouts... Good luck with returning to TKD!!! Hope it's triumphant!! That's an interesting take on it. I wonder if going low carb the days before would make the carvings worse for me, though. I did the thing, and I lived! I felt kind of sluggish, but it didn't aggravate my cough, so I am taking it as a good sign to move forward. Fortunately, the class was mostly composed of children and one grandfather, so it wasn't too demanding. Just what I needed for my first day back. And, AND I broke two boards (simultaneously) for the first time. 5 Quote Life before Death Strength before Weakness Journey before Destination Link to comment
Kishi Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Nice and nice! Good job. Hopefully you're getting plenty of sleep to balance things out. Recovery should hopefully continue apace... 1 Quote Work like a farmer, train like an athlete, fight like a soldier. 2 Tim. 2:3-6 BATTLE! Link to comment
Charlie_Quinn Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Finally I have a chance to catch up with you! Sorry to hear things have been crappy health wise, but glad to hear you are slowly getting back into doing stuff. I can totally sympathize with the stomach issues. Here's hoping your doctor is better than mine was. Before I found out I was lactose intolerant, I had a nightmare trying to convince doctors I had an actual problem. One actually said to me "what are you expecting me to do for you". Um, I don't know? How about help me find out why I'm in constant pain! *rage-stroke* In the end, I gave up with the doctors, kept a food diary, put myself on an exclusion diet and figured out it was lactose causing the problem. 14 hours ago, Phoenix Burning said: And, AND I broke two boards (simultaneously) for the first time.

Everstorm Posted January 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Just a quick and very late update: I passed my green belt test with flying colors. In fact, the secretary-general of UITF was there, and said my skill was at a level "you just don't see" at my rank. She encouraged me to start thinking about trying out for the World's Championship USA team in 2019. 1 Quote Life before Death Strength before Weakness Journey before Destination Link to comment
