smashmp Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Oof ...between the holiday and a family member passing away after battling cancer and traveling for work, any and all progress has halted since Halloween-ish. Since May, the husband and I started lifting heavy 3x a week with karate (Shotokan) one night a week. We had ourselves eating home-cooked healthier stuff nearly each night of the week, then BOOM! Hardly home long enough to let our dog out, let alone cook, eat and lift. So, I'll take this respawn point! Thankfully, I have a goal that's close enough to help me stay focused (hopefully) through the next two weeks, since I've got a belt test for karate on Dec. 14.

smashmp Posted December 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 Sorry for your loss; happy you're willing to keep going! Good luck on the belt test. Thank you on both fronts. I'm not feeling physically strong coming up to testing, but I'll do the best I can with what I've got. Quote "Stay strong until you win against yourself.

Schmopey Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 For what belt are you testing? Quote Paladin Aspirant Level 3 STR: 13 DEX: 3 STA: 9 CON: 9.33 WIS: 6.66 CHA: 6 MyFitnessPal Challenges: First, Second, Third, Fourth Link to comment
smashmp Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 For what belt are you testing? I tested for my yellow belt last weekend. I think I did fairly well. Still a long way to go! Quote "Stay strong until you win against yourself.
