Candidate Journals

Today was another busy day with work so I didn't get much of my requirements done during work hours.  I'm grateful that I have a job where I can step away for a few minutes here and there but it doesn't always happen.  Plus I had to drive up into Concord proper to get a new splint made for my finger.  This one is a bit more open and it's molded to me so it should fit a bit better.  At least I was able to get a couple of miles in during lunchtime - even if the skies did open up on me in the last five minutes. After work was over I packed up and headed down to the dojang to help with class.  I don't know if they appreciate it but I do try to reassure the color belts that while their forms and self-defenses aren't impossible, many...

Today was day 2 in Ohio, got up early but had a little less time this morning so I didn’t quite finish my requirements. Spent all day on my feet so finishing up poomsae and burpees tonight was not fun. I’m tired and ready for one more day, hopefully I can get home tomorrow, but the storms look like it may be a long day of travel tomorrow night.

First day of school today and it was asynchronous and will be until the nineteenth. I went over to the dojang in the evening to have a mentor session with Master Dege and rested easy for the night.

Today was a good day! I started my day working on my 5th grade practice work and then worked on my Taekwondo exercises. I went to a Taekwondo class to help out Jr Tigers. I went running with my Dad later this evening. I will keep working on my self defense, pomesaes, and kicks. I learned a lot in my mentor session today. I will keep working hard on my goal. 

I got started on my stretching in the morning, I did that before I started my routine for the day. Practiced the 2nd Dan specials, and I realized I might need a mentor session on that one next time I come to class. Cooled down with a shower and some reading.

First day of school today, it was a bit overwhelming. I was very tired by the time I got home, but still had requirements to worry about. After some of those, I took a short nap and headed to the dojang for a mentor session. I found out that school got canceled tomorrow, so all work will be asynchronous, which is good because I get to sleep!

My dog and I went for a two mile walk to the pet store. I bought him new dental treats, but I don’t think he likes them. I cleaned up my patio and did my requirements there. I got to watch all the weather changes. I did a push up variation where I’m in downward dog, it’s difficult, but I like it. I went to Master Evins school for black belt class, but there wasn’t any class due to testing. But I was able to practice things I specifically wanted to work on with motivative people. Then I worked on the gymnastics skills and stretching. I found a stretching video that was so intense I had to take breaks, tough! But that’s good. What challenges you, changes you.

On Tuesday, I woke up and completed my requirements after lunch. I then assisted a senior tiger class. After assisting the class, I ate dinner and ran for 2 miles. On Wednesday, I woke up early at 7:00 to begin getting used to waking up early. I also got all of my requirements done in the morning. Then, I ate lunch and went to my open house. I am not exited for 7th grade. Afterwards, I attended my black belt class. Finally, I ate dinner and finished my role model essay. Have a good night.

So today I finished my requirements at around 2 and then my mom got home so we went to open house. It was good but very crowded. I met all my teachers which was social studies/ homeroom: Mrs. Watts, Science: Mr. Caskey, ELA: (I forgot her name), and math: (I also forgot his name), PE, and band. Then I went to taekwondo and then ran. I just ate dinner and am about to play a game then go to bed. Goodnight.

Hi King Tiger Family. It was a good day. Got most of what I was trying to get done. Need to work on creative. Looking forward to sparring. Take care. 

Today was a much better day than yesterday. I have practice this morning, which put me in a great mental place to start off the day. I then did some requirements before going to work. Work was pretty good, a little hectic, and I had issues while trying to get food for dinner. I then drove up to Denver, thinking there was bible study tonight, however there was not. It was a little time wasted, but I got to chat with my dad a little on the ride. Afterwards, I came home, did some requirements, ate, and now I am here. 

Today was another busy day. First I woke up got my breakfast went to the eye doctor then went shopping. I found few outfits and shoes. I spaced my requirements out throughout the day. Then went to the open house, then went to taekwondo and after that I did my run. The past few runs I have noticed some pain in my ankle. Tonight it was more intense and I had a painful stomach cramp. I can tell I was not 100% because my time reflects it. I will ice my ankle and have my mom ace wrap it to see if that helps. Tomorrow I will try and work on my history essay since it’s suppose be a rainy day.

Today was a ordinary day. I woke up and watched tv. then i played video games and ate. i did burpees and went to the gym. My favorite part of the day was when we jump roped at the gym but i didn't like the push ups so much. but i had to do them either way so i got those done. This cycle is teaching me responsibility because i have to remember to do my requirements and finish and track my stuff. Okay i'm done now.

Hey guys this is going to be a short journal cause I have to get to my ice cream. I woke up thinking school but it turns out, no school for me tomorrow. I hung out at home ate drank water and talked goodbye.

When I woke up my sitter came and I did my requirements at Champions.  I had mac n cheese for lunch and we went to sweet frog.  I went to Taekwondo and helped with the 5:15 and took the 6:00 class.  When we got home I watched Olympics.  Tonight I went outside to play lacrosse.  After that me and my family sat on our deck and we saw about twenty bats flying through the trees and over our house.  Have a good day tomorrow. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday and is excited for a thoughtful Thursday!!! I took my puppy to the vet and he got shots!!!😕 We can’t pick him up at all and he’s limping whenever he walks! Today I went to the 4:45 to help out and then took the 5:15. My school has been cancelled for tomorrow and it was suppose to be the first day! Hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday! Good night!!!

P.S. Today is National 

My first day of high school was today and it was very chaotic. Luckily, it was only a half-day so it wasn’t too bad. I got home and played games with my friends and that was my day.

Today I went to camp and helped with the little kids all day. they had parkour. It was fun to help out.

How bad is it that I do not remember if I have done a journal today or not?!  Well, here's part two if I did one already. I got up and did some requirements then went to camp. We have testing tonight, tomorrow at camp, and tomorrow evening,  so I pulled and labeled belts.  I came home from camp, did more requirements abd went back to the dojang for a mentor session. I would think that getting requirements done would be easy and not as painful,  however,  some seem to be getting more challenging.  Maybe because I'm thinking about them more ir working on my form as I do them.  Here's to the rain 🌧 💙 

Today was my first school day, although it was just a half day it was still hard to go back after being gone for so long. It was good though, I didn't think my teachers were going to be that chill but they are very relaxed and my study hall supervisor has two rules: no eating, and don't disrupt others but we can do anything else, like play games, watch Netflix, anything like that. When I got home I did all my requirements and I walked 2 miles. Tomorrow is the first full day of school, I had to read The Book Thief so I might have to right an essay on that soon too, anyway see you guys later!

Yesterday, I met with my mentor and we went over bolo form and 1st Dan self-defense. Afterwards, I assisted class with the Junior Tigers and the Senior Tigers, led warmups and then took class. There was some anxiety leading up to the PMA testing, but I feel like that for most tests. I did not feel ready and there was so much to learn in a short period of time. There are so many expectations from myself and others that I become quite overwhelmed. When that happens, I sometimes mentally shut down and it is like watching my body from the outside....not really feeling connected to that moment. Of course, it is temporary, I accept it and I just move on. I always try to take things as a learning lesson and then decide what to do from there. Now, off to the dojang, I go!

Good afternoon, open house for Hickory Ridge middle school starts in 2 hours, if we dont get a full hurricane. Doing my requirements now. Have a good day, and if you go to HRiMS(they make us call it that), see you there.

Slow day today but yesterday was busy. Helped with a class, took a class. And had a mentor and mentee session. Learned our staff form. 

Working this AM. It's sprinkling which is no fun shooting outside pictures. Will do my requirements this PM.

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice yet long day. I went to Tae Kwon Do, helped out with a little bit of summer camp, and then classes. Today, I woke up really late because I am trying to make the most of the summer I have, but I know I should be waking up early due to the fact my bus gets here at 6–6:15. I started writing about my personal growth and development essay in TKD and honestly realized the difference from how I used to train and teach to now. To me, Tae Kwon Do is about learning the curriculum but also having fun while learning it, especially for the younger kids. I always like to have fun, but it's important that you stay on task. Besides that, I am going to my open house later today and am about to do my requirements. Have a wonderful day!

I had a full day at the dojang. Talk about it tomorrow. Okay….bye-eee!!!

As the cycle starts to become routine I keep thinking I have everything down and all i need is requirements and signatures. WRONG todays PMA test was a shocker, I knew I didnt know everything but I assumed I could atleast be comfortable and possibly pass the test. But master Evans sat us down and told / showed us some practical applications of PMA with and without the stick that I never even thought of. I need to start practicing PMA.  

I knew this would be the case going into the cycle, however, I don't think my last cycles were this hot and humid outdoors.  I wanted to get some grass cut before the rains come, but that didn't happen.  I did get to go to guitar today, which is good because I haven't been able to go due to various circumstances the past few weeks.  We also tested in PMAA tonight, and testing ran longer than class does.  I'm wondering if part of that has to do with the amount of material we had to cover in this section.  There's a sticks training Saturday I need to sign us up for but I'm trying to see if my oldest wants to jump in before I buy stuff. In addition to PMAA testing I also took class, went to spin class earlier in the day, and lifted some weights.  Can't forgot to...

Today I spent almost the whole day in the office and was busy enough that there really wasn't time to work on requirements.  I'm glad I've got so much to do and our team is growing like it is but back in 2021 when I was preparing to test for 1st Dan, it was much easier to get a workout in, interspersed through the day.  After finishing up what I needed to do, I came home, tried to get some more work done before 5pm, and then had to figure out what to do next.  Unfortunately, requirements weren't in the cards because we had to get our stuff together and head down to the dojang.We had our regular class tonight and then PMAA for testing.  I think we did OK-ish but it could have gone a lot better.  Most of us in class are also on the Cycle so it's hard...

Despite being very tired and low energy i was able to get a leadership, class assistance, mentee secession, and a mentor secession today. Last night i got one of my essays done as well as practiced poomsae for about 30min. 

I went to run with my Dad this morning at the park and came back home to work on my exercises. I practiced my Pomosae's so I can be ready for classes today. I was able to go to a Jr and Senior Tiger class to help out. Open house at my school is Thursday and ready to meet my new teacher. Today was a great day and I will keep working hard everyday. 

Did my physical req, then went to king tiger.When I got to king tiger, I went for run. My goal was to ruin for 35 (I’ve been doing a run plan with Mike running app). But when I finished, I only had .75 to a full mile, so I pushed myself. Then I did something some stretching and assisted with class.  I was able to get a mentor session in and work on hopkidos, I know 1-3 really well, 4-5 are muscle memory but can use some practiced, 6-7 are tough. I’ve done them, I know bits, but the full form isn’t together. I did some mentee sessions. I worked on 3 Dan Self defense. I stayed late to work on my demo routine as well. I got a lot of things done today. Afterwards I went over to aunts and had dinner with her and my cousin. It was really nice....

Schools start tomorrow  so i'll have to work out in the evening now, won't change anything really but I need some catching up to do.

Today was my last day working with summer camp kids. I went to Urban air and it was fun. A little crazy but still fun. I got to play video games for the last time for a long time and then eat steak for dinner. Tomorrow is my first day of highschool and I think it'll be good. We can do this! 

Today I went to go jog I'm the morning even though I couldn't feel my legs. Then I went inside and took a 1 hour power nap. Then after that I went to tkd and took 2 classes. Then I got home and played outside with my friends

I went to camp and went to Urban air I did my exercise then went to band finished my exercise called my friend. Good night.

First day on the road, work up early and got 2 miles in at the hotel gym. I realize i really prefer running outside! I also had time to finish my exercise requirements. Spent the day walking around a factory and got back around 5:30. I had time to get my poomsae, kicks and self defense down into my hotel room, before dinner.  it was fun to FaceTime with Abigail so she could help me,  Overall today went much better than I expected! Hopefully I can do it again tomorrow. 

Today I woke up and just felt off. Something didn't feel right mentally. I went to PT and it still didn't fix the problem. I then came home and took some time to decompress and talk about the issue. It didn't fix it at first, but after doing some physical requirements I found myself in a much better mental state. I then ate and took a nap, which also improved my mood. I finished my day with a broken up 5k workout with the club running team I workout with once a week. Running well and pushing myself to new limits gave me much needed confidence. I then came home, did some requirements, and now I am here. 

Hi King Tiger Family. A pretty good day. Normal work day. Left work and came home to head to run with Nate. Got a good run in and did some requirements. Then came home. My wife cooked us a fantastic dinner. So yummy. Then onto a few more requirements. Finished some stuff and now writing this. Looking forward to tomorrow. Weeks are moving by. Still have a bunch to do. Take care.

In Tuesdays class, I helped out during class assistance, helped some people with koryo poomsae, did a mentee and mentor session for hapkido defense 1-5. When I got home I continued practicing 4 and 5 hapkido, I also did my Bocho and 1rst Dan self-defense, exercised and felt good for the day.

Today I woke up early to do my run in the morning which was a good run. After that I went to the Chiropractor to get adjusted but as we got there they were closed so we just went home. I just did all my requirements at home, before my friend came to pick me up. We went to Emerald pointe wet and wild, in Greensboro. It was really fun, and it was the first time I had ever been to a water park so it was cool to try all the different slides. We had a wonderful time and would for sure go there again.

Today I woke up and had pizza for breakfast.  Then I did my requirements and practiced my viola.  Then I went to king tiger.  I didn’t feel good so I only stayed for 1 class.  I then got ice cream.  I then went home and ate spaghetti.  I felt better after I ate.  

I hope everyone had a terrific Tuesday and it’s excited for a wonderful for Wednesday! Today I Woke up and eat breakfast. Later hunting the day I got ready to go to my open house for school! I got there really early so I was done before a lot of people got there!!! When I got home, I ate dinner quickly and got dressed to go to taekwondo! I Help at the 6 o’clock took the 6:45 and then weapons class! When I got home, I ate a tiny snack and then got ready for bed! I hope today was a terrific Tuesday!!! Good night!! P.S. Today is National root beer float day!!! ~Magnolia~

Today was a productive day. I worked on my essays. First, I worked on the technology challenge, then my nutrition challenge, and then the mission statement. I’m working on my fourth essay about the history. I found a book at the library that has been helpful. There is a lot of information. I have written some sentences now I have type and get it organized. I am trying to get as much completed as I can before schools starts back. I have open house tomorrow and curious to meet my teachers.

Today I woke up and ate breakfast. Then I did requirements and push-ups are getting easier for me! Sit ups squat thrusts and planks are getting super easier.see you tomorrow    

I'm getting used to getting my requirements in between my morning Amazon shift and my regular job. It's becoming like clockwork. I'm definitely noticing an improvement in my push-ups and burpees, pull-ups, not so much. I got in a mentoring and mentee-ing session in tonight in addition to a class. Got home and vacuumed and mopped my whole house, and worked in the garden some. All this rain has wreaked some havoc on my tomato plants, so I had to pull off some dead leaves.

Today I woke up and ate then did all m require. Planks are hard for me but I got through it. All the others are getting better. That is all for today🥋

Good evening, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. I went to TKD later in the afternoon, helped out with summer camp for a bit, and then helped with the classes like normal. I got a mentee session in and also took 2nd higher class. By that class, I was exhausted and not as focused as normal. I had a lot of fun in that class since we worked on hapkidos and techniques. Today, I went to Tae Kwon Do and helped out with summer camp and classes. I got a mentor and mentee session today, which was great. Have a wonderful day!

So today the craziest thing happened (not to crazy)! So when this morning i went to harrisburg park to run my 2 miles. there was the lightest rain ever. not to crazy right? so after that i kept running almost done with 2 miles until it started raining super hard. Man it felt so good on the hot environment. :)

Today I woke up early and played video games as usual, then I went to do my requirements. After that me and my dad went to drop off Erin at cheer, then we went to my dad’s work after that I went to soccer practice.

Today i did my essays. i forgot yesterdays journal. i'm very sad but i don't think it'll be that bad. I did a essay today and yesterday. Going to do my nurtrition challenge soon. I my requirments tyen played video games. i was eating bread and that bread was a retextured brick. This cycle has its drags but i think its been good so far. theres no black belt class or sparring due to color belt testing. Okay i'm done now

Worked this morning. This evening spent several hours at King tiger helping with class, taking class, and doing mentor and mentee sessions.

Thanks to Master Dege I just realized I’d been missing out on my tracking requirements. I spent most of the early hours catching up that item. Then later rushed in the daily requirements.

So today I played a new game that I got called rocket league which is pretty fun and then went to the gym and ran and did my requirements. My mom is doing yoga and I am doing trail life later. It was a fun day with my new game. Also fortnite is having a live event on saturday and Im excited for it. Also the brought fall guys and I finished the quests which were SUPER easy. Goodbye

When I woke up, my sitter came over and we did a big workout.  I did my requirements and also did hill sprints for my running.  Then I went to the dentist and I am about to go to hockey practice.  See you tomorrow. 

I had a very eventful weekend which is why I haven’t been journaling lately. I flew out to New York Friday morning for a national youth conference and was busy ever since. I was supposed to fly back home on Sunday, but my flight got cancelled so we went to DC by bus. We stayed at a hotel overnight and went to the National Mall in the morning. Then it was a long drive home, I got home late night on Monday. There’s a lot of catching up to do for requirements.

Hello guys, I got a IV yesterday and it did not go according to plan. My mom said that she didn't think the nurse knew what she was doing. First time she did it in my left arm and she missed my vain, Second time she did it in my right arm but she blew out my vain. I am feeling a lot better then I was because of my electrolyte drink and I am ready to keep going, but if I am at TKD please don't hit me too hard in my stomach.

Good morning, I got to sleep in today. I'm a bit annoyed because open house is tomorrow and school starts in one week. Starting 7th grade in Hickory ridge middle (the best middle school). Hope I have a math teacher for more than a few months. My friends should hopefully be in my class. Got to say, my brain will need to get used to school real quick because the most math I can do is 2+2=4, and don't get me started on ELA. But who knows, maybe this will be a good year (I maybe will get a girlfriend). Question, whats it like on the first day if your home schooled? Well hope you have a good day. 

I got up this morning, showered, and decided to do 1/2 of my physical requirements and will do the other half at camp. Since the Olympics are still going on, I'll see if my kiddos can do a physical requirement for a minute, plus I'll get mine in too.     ( it's always more fun with others)  I still despise burpies. I think I would like them better if there wasn't a push up in the middle.   I don't see how  / why jump roping is a physical requirement. You would think 'v- sit ups' or specific leg exercises would be required. I would rather do extra situps, or miles over burpies.  Rolls and falls?!?!  How many of our KT locations does a falls / rolls class? Why isn't this part of our blackbelt class? What if you only have wooden floors at home? Are you expected to buy a membership...

Got up and did 2 miles this morning, I’m still a little behind from being sick. Catching up feels almost impossible, I’ll get there but it’s a lot!  In the beginning I felt this was very do-able and the deeper in we get and the more time it takes me every morning to get through things the more I realize how hard this is! I have work travel today, tried to stick with my nutrition challenge but finding good food in an airport isn’t easy,   

Practiced self defense up to 1st degree, couple of spin yups, tornado, and back kicks. Need to work more on jump back kicks. I feel like I’m still improving but still have some ways to get to peak performance. I’m still sore all over and mostly tired, but muscles are getting toned as well. I find that I can push harder. It hurts more but it’s possible.

Today felt more packed than usual. I got up about 2 am, and did my physical and tkd requirements back-to-back. After that I took a nap and got up and ready to help with the 6:30 class. Im trying to get the most credits in before testing throws me off a little. After the 6:30 I took the advanced class at about 7:10 and worked on some forms and grappling.

Dry as in the weather.  I was looking at the rain forecast with Debby coming up the coast and I'm pretty sure my grass is going to look like tigers stalk through it looking for hunters to eat.  I wish I had time to get outside and do some milage before the rains come, but I am also grateful to have access to treadmills for times like these.  Maybe the storm will veer off into the ocean, who knows? Hurricanes are predictable yet unpredictable. So helped in one class, led warm ups in another.  It's really strange after you get used to teaching a class the whole period just leading warm ups.  I feel like I'm slacking.... speaking of.slacking, I need to get cranking on that creative form.  I really really REALLY want to do some with my three section staff, but I don't know what the learning curve is on...

Went to the allergist the morning for my weekly shots.  They said I'm almost done with increases and should be able to start maintenance soon.  I don't know how long it'll be before I can start going less frequently than once a week but I'm looking forward to it. I got all my physical requirements done during the day and started in on the Taekwondo requirements afterwards.  While dinner was cooking Gabe and I worked on some of those together.  Hopefully we'll be getting closer to regular speed on our self-defenses soon because we're getting more confident in the techniques.  Of course, we're only four weeks in so we're still making mistakes but we're getting better and have started catching each other's mistakes more easily. Then after dinner, we practiced a bit for our PMAA testing tomorrow night.  Once we get past that it'll be a load off my shoulders.  Hopefully...

Had a fun time in New York for my youth conference but its time to get back on the grind. Just got home from D.C. and now going to rest.

I went to camp and I helped with class I did some guitar. I did my exercise then called my friend. Good night 

Hi King Tiger Family. Happy Monday! Pretty good day all in all. Did not start as early as I wanted but still got off pretty well. Work went well and the home then off to TKD. Helped with class and then took a class. Great to practice Hopkido. Worked on some stick. Now just finished some physical requirements. How to head to bed soon. Have a great evening. Take care. 

I feel the requirements have gotten away from me a bit but i'm trying to catch up. Came in early to my son's class to help out and am going to do so for the next couple weeks to get those leadership credits. Also was able to jog a mile today faster than i ever have in my life (i think) 15:31. I can probably to better since my neighborhood has some deceptive inclines and my right leg was cramping a bit so i had to walk more than i wanted. I hope i can complete these requirements in time. I don't want to let Master's Foster and Knight down at Harrisburg. 

I had a good day spending time with my Mom on her birthday. In true Jack Benny style, it was her 39th birthday *chuckles*…IYKYK. Good night!!

so I started my nutrition challenge a few days ago. That was a mistake. I started on the day we left for camping. I couldnt even have a  nice burger or hotdog because of the no bread thing.  But today was nice atleast. So I woke up and did some stuff my mom told me to do. Then I did some requirements. I played some games for a bit then left for taekwondo. Got my credits but no mentee because he wasnt there. Then I ran at the park and got surprised when sid showed up and ran with me and declan. There were football practices at the park and I watched them while I ran. My open house is on wednesday for school and I'm not excited. School starts next week! One more week at home then back at it again. I feel like summer break is too short. I...

Today I did all my requirements early in the morning then I played some video games then I went to go on my trampoline and we saw a frog in our pool but my dad got it out then I went to open house at my school. Then I went to watch my sisters 90 minute cheer practice.

Today I got ready and went to king tiger.  I assisted with one class.  When I got home it was looking like it was going to rain so we went and walked my dog 2 miles.  Then I thought about getting ice cream bur decided not too.  That was my day so bye for now 

Today I woke up to do my run which was pretty good, after that I hit the gym and got a quick workout in was I enjoyed. After that I went with my dad to drop off a vehicle at a car shop to get my cars breaks redone which was done very quickly, because he finished it in a few hours. Then I went to work, and had a lot of fun there helping out with the kids and enjoying ourselves after that we went home got some amazing dinner and watched a movie called "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes". It was a well done movie I enjoyed it a lot, and that was my night.

Today, I finished my requirements after lunch. Then, I assisted a senior tiger class, had a mentor session, and attended my black belt class. After class, I ate dinner and went to bed. Have a good night.

I hope everyone had a marvelous Monday and is excited for a terrific Tuesday!!! Got up and me and my brother made Chocolate crêpes. They were amazing and it didn’t take that long to make them! Later, I went to get my allergy shot And after we headed over to my brothers, open house for school. When we finish, we then picked up his school electronic and headed home. I got ready for taekwondo and helped at 5:15 and took the six!!! Hope everyone has a marvelous Monday good night!!!! P.S Today is National oyster day!!! ~Magnolia~

Today was a relaxing day first I woke up had breakfast, played on my phone. Did some requirements then Flynn’s dad came to pick me up and did all I had to do at taekwondo then went to do my 2 miles. And my time was 16:39.27. I saw few friends from school practicing football.

today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I did a 2 mile run. Then I did my chores and then went to the pool from 10:00 from 3:00 so a lot of pool time! That was fun then I came home and then took a shower and then went to taekwondo I help out a bit and talk to Magnolia about stuff for taekwondo. Now I am done for the day! Good night!!!

I was feeling sluggish today, but I got my run in and my time is getting better. I still have some requirements and reading to do since I'm a late night person. Also, we celebrated a birthday which was nice

Today I had school orientation and it was crazy such a big place I’m very disappointed summers over. See you guys tomorrow!

yesterday was my dad's birthday and one of my digital detox days. I did a lot of requirements. I also did a lot of things for my dad like making beaded bracelets.

Today I woke up and did my run then I went back home and I did my exercises, pomsae and self defense. Then I did some of my 5th grade work, after that I went to taekwondo and helped out in the jr tigers. Last I lead the senior Tiger class and i did a good job.

Happy Monday !  Got up and went to camp. Managed to see my mentee crush the first half of her poomsae! Before leaving today, I got in a mentor session with 'A' and she did well. I'm so proud of her. I know she will do amazing with her self defense and get her new belt!  Came home and did my requirements.  I keep thinking the same thing I tell my students, just 1 more. 1 more push up, 1 more burpie, 1 more sit up. 1 more attempt at your pull ups. 

Still really sick. My mom gave me dramamine or something to help with the nausea and now I just feel weird. Not sure why I'm reacting to the shots I got so badly. I can barely move or do anything. My mom said I might have to go to urgent care if I don't feed myself. It's day 4 of me barely eating anything. I don't want to fall behind.

Today I did all my exercises and I ran and walked 2 miles. After, we went to the Chiropractor again, and we also went to our school to drop off stuff for Ronin and meet his teachers. After that we went to Sport Clips, and now I just finished my lunch and I'm going to play videogames. See you guys later!

Good afternoon, pretty chill day. My mom woke up sick and my dad was at work so it was a do nothing day. Had plenty of time to do my requirements. I have a junior tigers class then a black belt class. Have a good day.

I got up earlyish and Got 2 miles in, I've been trying to get a stretch session in after my runs. They feel good, but i don't know if I'm actually getting any more flexible. I didn't think going up to 4 minutes each on the exercises would be a big deal but I can tell a big difference in my energy on that 4th set still.   We went out to Collect-a-con and actually saw a few king tiger folks. It was an interesting event, something I've never done before, doing something new is always good.  I also started learning my new skill this weekend, harder than i thought it would be so far!

Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was a nice day. Overall, I met all my requirements yesterday, and the other half of the day was spent cleaning the house. It always happens to be in my house when you lose something, and you end up finding everything else that you lost except the actual thing you need. I am trying to knock out essays before hand so that I don't have to worry about them next cycle or in the school year. This morning, I went back to school to return my computer and just came back. I am planning on going to TKD today and am hoping my book is still there. Have a wonderful day!

Started pretty early. Completed half of requirements by 11am. Took the boys out to the Harrisburg park, and completed the other half concurrently.

During today, I woke up and did my requirements and then after that started tracking everything from week 3. I practiced more for the 1rst Dan and 2nd Dan self-defense before doing the specials to see where I was at.

Day started fun. We went to a Cannonballers baseball game. Did get baked in the sun but it was fun. Then 4 hours of yard work. So tired, so sore and a little bit sunburned on my hand. 

  Today was more relaxing than most, after I did my jog and practice i went to visit some family. I got home and finished off physical requirements and did my German before bed.                                    

This morning I ran a mile with my Dad and came back home to do my exercises. I practiced my Pomsae, self defense, and kicks. I was a little tired after running today but I kept pushing. I can tell I'm getting stronger by doing exercises everyday. I will keep pushing until i reach my goal. 

I tend to ask this every Sunday evening to be fair, but it seems like I blink and the weekend is gone.  I am remembering now why every cycle I have contemplated hiring a maid until October, because between classes/requirements/shopping for the upcoming week I never have enough time to clean it seems.  And keeping the house clean is important, as well have multiple people who have dust allergies.  In addition to that, my daughter's new aide is mildly allergic to dogs.  We.have a dog, so I am trying to at least vacuum and wash the dog's things more than usual so she doesn't have a reaction.  

Today I woke up and headed to church; today's message was amazing and it was about how God loves us through the struggle. I also got to see a good friend, Silas, and heard he might be coming to my school starting this school year. I then got food, ate, and did some requirements. Afterwards, I went to Latta to do a long run; I ended up falling pretty hard during the run, but it was nothing serious. I then came home, watched a few cooking shows with my dad, and now I am here. 

We had an illness issue this morning so we didn't make our usual trip to the park for training.  Once that was resolved, we got on with our day and did the usual weekend shopping.  While Gabe took our daughter to Zumba at the gym, I went out and knocked out almost two miles.  I probably shouldn't have worn jeans but I didn't feel like changing and then changing back. One they got home we had some food and finished up our shopping for the week.  Then it was time to start dinner and knock out some physical requirements.  After dinner we were informed that someone threw up so we had to stop for a bit to deal with that and then finish up requirements for the night.  Hopefully that's it for everyone feeling sick for a while.

On Saturday, I went to sparring class in the morning and assisted a junior tiger class. Then, I did all of my requirements and had to go to a party. On Sunday, I did not have any classes. I finished my requirements after lunch. I then ran for 2 miles and ate dinner. I will see you on Monday.

today I woke up and did my requirements for taekwondo. Then I went on a run. And then got home took a shower then went to collect-a-con. Super fun!!! Then my Pokémon binder got to my house and then I sorted and put away my Pokémon. I did that for like an hour! Now I am done for the day! Good night!!!

When I woke up I ran a mile with my mom and did my requirements.  Later in the afternoon I played Frisbee golf with my dad.  My dog, Sammie came too.  In Frisbee golf, I have frisbees called beast, cobra, putter and mamba.  My parents and sister have other ones.  When I got home we had dinner and then now I'm ready for bed.  Good night. 

I woke up and had breakfast then went to poomsae team I was on the phone with Landry for 5 hours did my exercise ate dinner then watched some YouTube. Good night.

Today I woke up and played some video games then did my requirements then I wrote 2 essays then did the rest of my requirements then I my grandparents came for dinner.
