yay!

yay! i feel like i'm actually making progress...by the grace of God, i've been pretty disciplined lately in the food area and i've been going to tae kwon do pretty regularly and i can tell it's making a difference!

i bought a new skirt yesterday to attempt to keep my motivation going :) it's really cute!

i love when i'm reminded how right Helen was on my first PPP check when she said "Amy, your body is not special, if you feed it correctly and exercise it, it will return to normal weight." she's so right...it really does happen, it just takes time and committment..

alas, it is nice to feel like i'm headed somewhere..and making progress in that direction..

ki-hap!

Taekwondo is officially my favorite way to exercise! I already knew that but I forgot how much i love it until i started back. The only sad part is that classes are Monday and Tuesday nights right in the midst of my clinical hours for the summer. I'll have to settle for less classes this summer and hopefully i can pick up some more in the Fall! It's a great workout and I love it so much more than just running on my own. There's something about being in a class full of people and periodically being allowed to hit things while shouting...It's very therapeutic :)

an old favorite

i'm stalled. still.

so, i'm starting Taekwondo back tonight. I went to the school on monday and talked to the instructor. He was elated that i wanted to join the school and was ready to offer me a part-time job teaching classes..i politely informed him that i don't have time :)

i'm dragging out my spiffy adidas uniform and the black belt that boasts 5 years worth of dust and i'm going to pray that my technique has held up through all these years of neglect.

i'm excited!

i'm going to see how it goes and hopefully make a plan of how many times a week i'll try and go depending on the scheduling and everything but it seems like it'll be great!
