1st Class Back

Last night was my first night back in taekwondo since Little Norman's birth. I wasn't feeling great but I am definately glad to be back. I am sore in some odd places though! I am a brown belt, and brown belt kata is interesting to say the least. I think that I will like it! For testing I also have to know a past form so I am going to relearn orange belt. I will also have to break boards. That makes me very nervous! I am still slacking on starting an exercise routine here at home, but I will need to be practicing my form every day so I will continue to do that until I come up with something else to do. Course I will need to practice every day anyway.

My first healthy eating goal was to give up Pepsi. Cold turkey and no going back. I don't see any need in wasting the calories on something that is giving me nothing in return. Every week or 2 I will have a new healthy eating goal.

Welcome to my journey!

Who Am I and What This is All About

My name is Carie. I am 30, overweight and ready to change my lifestyle. I have always lived a sedentary lifestyle and struggle getting active. Three years ago my sons joined Effingham Taekwondo and started taking classes. A year later my dh and I also joined. I have been on a 9 month hiatus during my recent pregnancy but since my youngest son's birth in Oct. I am ready to get myself in shape! My goal is to get my black belt in 18 months. In the shape that I am in that isn't going to happen. This blog is to help keep myself accountable and to encourage others in their weight loss/exercise/healthy eating goals. Today I weigh 216 lbs. I will weigh every Monday to keep myself accountable.
