Today I got up early and did my running & some of my other exercises then went to N. Charlotte for hyper pro & Saturday black belt class. After black belt class we had a quick meeting since the cycle started today and we found out our mentor teams. I got Master Shin and I am really happy about that. The pretest was moved up to next Saturday and Master Evins seemed disappointed with most of us today so I am very nervous. Going to really focus on my self defenses and poomsaes this week and my study guide. Then I came home and worked on finished up my exercises and studying. I took it pretty easy today but did things like time myself on my physical requirements and tried to really focus on making my self defenses and poomsaes really good.

Last night we did the parents night out. it was really fun because we played lots of dodge ball . I raised a lot of money.

Happy 1st official day of cycle to all!!!!!! Missed class today, and the meeting, but out of town at last show of the year. Was able to get a nice run/walk in this morning but rest of the day/night is pretty much shot with work obligations. And no, just incase any one asks I did not run all those miles this morning - - -I did have to run, then walk, run some more then walk. Love the app on my new phone that tracks all your steps and miles. See everyone soon!!!

today I did black belt class and we worked on poomsae and self defense. then we got with our mentors and discused

Today I have to go to a baptism so I have to do my requirments in the morning.  Yesterday was my last day of summer camp I am sad.:(

Today at TKD, after summer camp, we had a parents night out. We had a ton of fun but now I'm tired so I'm going to bed

I finished my piano camp today and was able to show my family what a learned. I was able to get in my run and attend TKD class. Tomorrow I will attend Black Belt class.

Today I went to tiger world. It was cool. my favorite was the Liger {spawn of tiger and lion}. I liked it the best becase it marked {peed} me.t got in my mouth.

The body was a little on the low side, so I did not do as msny requirements as I would have like to. The good thing is as I get older I am starting to listen to my own advice.

Toady was a slow day for me. I didn't do many requirements because I am still sore from class last night. Instructor Gabriel worked us hard. We did a lot of squats and my legs are very sore. Hopefully they feel better tomorrow.

Today I got to visit some family friends I haven't seen in a while! They love in Florida and took a ride trip down to visit us! After I got to finish my requirements and help out at 5:30 class and take sparring class that was fun! I don't normally like sparring but I like this class:)

Great day. Got to work and got my 2 miles in , cool mornings and a beautiful sun rise. Oh and work was OK .

Tomorrow we are going to have a parents night out arranged by the Bo Cho Dans at my school to raise money for Levine. If you can come tomorrow please come. It is from 6:00 to 10:00 at the Belmont location.

This past week or two my family has been in town and my house is a wreck with four children

I believe I am coming down with a cold. I did not feel good at all today. I have a sore throat and am very tired. I still pushed through the day and did sparring class.

Today I got finished with leadership 2 credits and I am also getting finished with my pull ups only three days left for it.

Today i did most of my requirements and went to one black belt class weekday. Plus my school work.

Today I got to go to my school after a very long time. I had to go and pick up my first and new parking spot for the school year; it was a nice spot which was pretty close to the main building. I also went to hang out with my friends, got help out at the 6:15 family class and take my usual class at 7:05!

Today I went running with my friend Charlie. His mom asked me to take him because she wanted him to get out of the house and stop playing with his x-box. We ran one mile and he kept up with me the whole time. Charlie used to do TKD too.

You have to love body ,because it will let you know when you when you did a NO NO to it. Other then that it was a awesome day.

I've been able to shoot farther in basketball. I think it's because of my push ups. And I feel like my miles have been shorter and they're becoming easier to do.

Today was my last day of summer ): i don't want to go back to school but i want to see my friends again. i am getting all of my requirements done, though it is hard to run because i keep getting really painful cramps. well, that was all for now.

Today I did all of my requirements. after that i went over to my friend's house. then I went to my class. I even got in a mentee class.

Today and yesterday my group at summer camp won awards for spirit, cheering people on, and picking up trash.  sssssssssssssss

I had a mostly relaxing day because I got alot of stuff done in the morning and finished early this afternoon.I went to 2 classes in belmont then came home to enter in all my requirements. (:

Today I got up early and got my running done then went to tennis camp until 12. After tennis I came home and did the rest of my exercises. I was really sore today but pushed myself to get some extra requirements done. After that I went and picked up the stuff for my fundraiser for the community service project that I am doing by myself and also picked up some supplies for our local school group fundraiser which is hosting Parents Night at this Friday night. I am really looking forward to doing both of my fundraisers. I only took 1 taekwondo class because I have church. I worked on self-defenses and kicking during class. It has been a very busy but good day.

Woke up not feeling well! Had a long night of the sniffles and now have a killer headache. Will probably not run today but will still try to get in some jump roping along with my other requirements. In Monday night's adult class(where I have a lot of bb candidates) we did 5 rounds of jump rope. But I better not do that again tonight or they all might stop coming to my class :)

I am attending a piano camp this week to learn a new skill. I am really enjoying learning how to play the piano. I want to take regular lessons. Yesterday on my run, I ran from my house up to the Harris Teeter in Mint Hill. It was nice to run a different way.

Feeling good today, findly got some miles in. Didn't get any yard work done, the rain cut in to that. Hopefully I will get it tomorrow if rain stay away.

Today the summer camp went to the movies and this time we all bought some snacks for the movies. Later in the day I was going to go for a run but it started raining, so I went for a run anyways, but only a mile.

I went to all three classes in belmont and had tons of fun even in the black belt class, doing flips\rolls with the mats and bags with Master Shin. :)

Today me and my mom went to Walmart. I looked for one of the coke bottles with your name on it I found mine, my dad's, and my friends name on some. But I couldn't find my moms name. LOl :D

Today was a really fun day. I woke up and got my requirements done so we could go to the Ymca then go to kates skates. I also got a hyper pro today because we did lots of rolls falls and kicks.

Today it was back really hot again so my running was hard but I got in done then worked on all of my other requirements. After that I went to my great grandmothers and rested for a little while. This afternoon I went to taekwondo and took 2 regular classes and black belt class. I got a lot of credits in - a weekday black belt, a hyper pro and a leadership I. Tonight I spent a while studying for the written test & muscle diagram then going to bed early. I have tennis in the morning and have to get my running and some of my requirements done before I go.

for a while now my knees have been hurting and today they hurt even worse. also yesterday I got hit in the knee so that didn't help.

I am very confused because we usually go swimming on Tuesday and go to the Movies on Wednesday.....but because of the weather, we decided to do go to the movies today and then go swimming tomorrow. Now my brain cannot decide what day it is. I got a mile in with the summer campers, but the bottom fell out of the sky right when I was leaving the school for a couple of extra miles. Finding it hard to do consistent journals during the summer. A lot of nights, I don't even take home my computer, because I know I will be back here first thing in the morning. Hopefully when school starts, I will get on a better routine!

Today I had to start on my summer assignments for school so my friend and I worked together on our AP English packet! I also went to my first Tae Kwon Do class after my trip for India and it felt great it! I loved it and am excited to be back:)

Rain rain rain you keep me from getting some miles in today. Other then that it was a good day. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Today in the 6:30 class there was a new family that took their first class. That was because they saw the blow up tiger in the front and they stopped by. But I didn't get a chance to work with them. I worked with another white belt. I helped him with kwan sool in english and korean. I got some more poomsaes in during that time.

Today I went tubing with my youth so I only did a few requirements but I still made it to 1 taekwondo class as soon as we got back and earned a leadership credit. It was really nice to have a full day off. I am ready to jump up and work hard tomorrow.

A dull day today it rained almost all day.Above all I still got all requirements done even my running.Then I hanged out with my friend and spent time with my family the rest of the day. ;) :)

Today we went to a pottery place. There was a bunch of different things we could paint. There were dragons, puppy dogs, turtles, and sharks. It was great. I chose a fat shark. My brother chose a bunny. I had a really hard time painting it. I was going to do blue and blueish-blackish, but it just looked ugly. So I just painted the whole thing black.

Today is a very crammed day I first wake up eat then I do my requirements. After that I might have a little to play video games ect. Then at 4:00 I go to tae kwon do. After that is done I eat dinner then go to boy scouts. Then finally I get to stay at home and relax.:D

Today I played in a basketball game and got a medal. I studied a lot for my written test too. It was a good day.

Today I got a laptop today its a 13 inch mac book air which made me super excited. I also was able to practice my knife, self-defense, and sticks on my dad so that made me happy. nothing else to say so see y'all later

Today was a good day I went to church and had lunch with my family. Then I did my requirements and I did great.

Today I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy and it was a great movie. It was funny and had a great story line. Later on I went for a run which was easy. I seem to be plateauing at 8 min miles.

Today was the hardest day of doing my requirements yet. I woke up really sore and felt sick. I also need to try to do a lot of extra of everything because I am going tubing with my youth group and we will be leaving very early in the morning and won't be back until time to go straight to taekwondo class. I struggled all day but I didn't give up and got everything done. I am really looking forward to having a fun, easy day tomorrow.

So its been a few days since I have put in some miles. The leg is about 80% better ,I will star my walking again tomorrow. I hope to start running again next week. Smile smile smile.

Today I wen to a birthday party. It was fun there was cake . We play Xbox, air hockey , and Foosball . then the girls destroyed us with perfume. Then I led a rebel strike and over powered them.

Today I did my essay for the white belt challenge and empathy training.  It took 3hrs!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              ...

Today I got my running, kicks and pulls up finished before time to go to class then I went to N. Charlotte for hyper pro, Saturday black belt and sparring classes. They were all 3 good classes and I got a lot of requirements in. Then we went to Rita's for a treat and came home. When I got home I was very tired but go started on my other requirements. It was very hard because I was so tired so I did half of what I needed to do then took a break for 45 minutes and finished. I didn't go hardly any extra requirements today because it seemed so hard today & my mom felt like I needed a easy day. Tonight I went to visit my great-grandmother who is in a physical therapy rehab center for a few weeks because she had a stroke last weekend. It was...

Most Saturday are my day of rest. But today I felt like I needed to do some requirements. Still had a date night out with my wife and enjoy the night off.

Today i did quite a few of my requirements and went to black belt class weekend. i am super sore because i did a lot of running yesterday and the day before that. i plan to do more black belt cycle.

Today was a good day, I got most of my requirements done in sparring and BB class. We did a LOT of kicks in both classes, so that was good :)

I got most of my exercises done before I went to black belt and sparring class this morning. Sparring class was fun because we did a lot of kicking. But we only got to do a little bit of sparring.

Yesterday I went bowling and to the movies with my grandparents and my brother. Today I was able to attend the Black Belt class. Still working on the rest of my cycle requirements.

Today it felt a lot easier to do sparing. I guess the expression practice makes perfect. We lost to the Buffalo Bills last night. I was there it stunk.

Today was a simple day, I got up early to do my requirments and studyed my vocabulary.Then spent the rest of the day cleaning, reading and hanging with my family. :)

Today the first thing that I did was run when I got home I watched the squirrels in my back yard then I spent about an hour on the computer trying to find a mod for minecraft and I finally did it and I felt good and I taught my sister how to do it too. Then we ate dinner with my grandma and I did my requirements and I am never doing that after dinner ever again.

I did some of my requirements outside before it started raining. I was outside with my mom while she was pressure washing. It was different to be outside but I couldn't really get on my knees for things like red belt self defense number 2. So I finished the rest inside.

I started by day again by doing by running & exercises. My mom makes me have everything done 1st thing but I am glad once it is done because it helps to do it early. It was a rainy day so there wasn't much to do outside so I spent time studying for the written test. Tonight I meditated while my mom made dinner then ate and now I am going to the movies with a couple of my friends. Looking forward to 3 classes at N. Charlotte tomorrow.

Today I've done quite a few of my requirements and plan to do more. This morning i got up early and went running with my mom and brother so i got a lot of my miles in.

Today I had a friend over after I finished my requirements. For my running I am glad that I finished my running when I did because it started to rain when I got finished.LOL

Today i got all of my requirements done before 11:00! I also made lunch for my siblings while my dad was on a business call. the only bad thing was that i got a lot of cramps on my run. they kept coming and going away. overall, i started this day out well.

Today I helped out with the class before BBC, I held the target for this group of kids working on their sparing combinations and then I went aside and helped another girl with her sparing combinations 1-14. And of course Black Belt Class came and I took it. A new person came today and she was already my friend so I hope she felt welcome, we were even self defense partners! We also worked a lot on Pogue ill and ee (excuse my spelling please) I should practice it some more but I feel pretty comfortable with it. :-)

today I helped out with class and to day I helped some one do there sparring combo nations. then I took black belt class and did pogway el and pogway e

Day started off a little on the rough side,but after a 2 mile walk I felt a little bit better. I still need a massage. Oh well there is always tomorrow to work this tightness out.

Today I did my exercises and running really early this morning then went to my great-grandmothers around lunch time. I was looking forward to going to my great-grandmothers so that helped to motivate me to get my exercises knocked out early. This afternoon I took 2 taekwondo classes at Belmont and got in another leadership credit then tonight I went to Rita's and then to black belt class at N. Charlotte.

I woke up and got all of my requirements done. I wanted to get them done so I could go to the pool. I'm planning to do the same thing tomorrow.

Today I had to wake up and go to the track because my sister had gymnastics. Then we went to ihop and had an omelet and pancakes the we went to pick up tori, my sister. When I got home I played with my grandma. I had a good day. 

Woke up around 6am today and started on my requirements. I am trying to get as many done as I can before school starts in a couple of weeks. I finished 3 of my essays this week so I am excited about that.

Today was awesome, because I got my sparring gear! It's so awesome, I was able to use it at sparring class this evening. When I was running today I felt great.

I really dislike my push ups...... I am trying to do them more military style (triceps), but they just are not getting any easier! I haven't even started to do pull ups yet....Our pull up bar is in the back (where the Summer Campers hang). I don't want to do my pitiful pull ups in front of them! So, I will probably hold off until school starts and do them when alone:) On the smiley side, I am excited to be teaching the Saturday black belt class....so here is a hint (we will see who reads this stuff).... the only weapon you will need on Saturday is a Short Stick.....we will concentrate on short stick forms and pal gwe forms! If we can get to it, we will do some drills for 2 on 1 sparring! If you need to do a Leadership 2.....let me know and I will work you...

Last night I had my first mentee session. It was kind of fun. I have to go down to tiny details because he's so amazing for his age.

Today was very exciting for me! I woke up and around 12pm I went to go take my drivers license test. I passed it!! After reaching home I went by myself to hangout with my friends and we went shopping at Birkdale Mall! It's quite fun driving on my own! I'm really excited I am able to do things on my own for once...finally!!:)

Today I woke up had breakfast then I played with my friend online and went over to his house. Then I came home and I read and cleaned up the house. After all of that I went to pick up my grandma then right after that I went to my TKD class.

Today we went to the movies, we watched walking with dinosaurs, later I ran 2 miles, instead of my usual 1 mile. During adult class I was drenched in sweat from how hard I worked.

Took it a little llite today. Caught up on some yard work from yesterday early this morning, I was hoping to get as massage today but call a round and no opening. How I wish I was I the Philippines. There I could get one at anytime and it would only cost me $10.00 for 1 hr.

Today I woke up a little later than normal because my grandmother was off and going to go my exercises with me. I still woke up very motivated and ready to get started which helped make things easier even though it had already started getting hot outside. After I finished everything I went grocery shopping with my grandmother and then played for just a few minutes when we got finished at the store then it was time to go to taekwondo class. I was only able to do 1 class today because I have youth tonight but I did get a hyper pro class credit in so that was good. Tomorrow I am going to really study on the written test more.

Today was supposed to be normal.  Instead my mom picked me up from summer camp really late so I could not do a bunch of stuff.           

Today my friend came over today and we went swimming. Then we went to target and bought divergent. We are about to watch it right now. I'm so excited.

Today was my sis's b-day. We went to taco bell and a ballgame to celebrate. At the end of the game, when we where walking to the car, my dad ligit almost got run over by a drunk driver. so that was a fun experience :). Got all of my requirements done. ran a full 2 miles. happy about that

Todays class, that I helped out in, I really enjoyed working with these two girls during kicking; drop kicks and ladder kicking up to 10 and back down. Then I worked with one of them for the sparing combinations. I felt really proud about helping; her she caught on super fast :-)I also officially have Single Stick Form One down. We must have done it 20 something times. :-D
