Bonus DLC #8

As I see the totals remaining on the tracking creeping down with some of them inching closer and closer to zero, the finality of finishing The Cycle and moving into testing night looms ever closer.  I feel pretty good about everything I know but I wouldn't want to have to test this weekend.  I'm glad we've got 3 1/2 more weeks before testing so we've got time to really lock in what we've been learning. I'm looking forward to being "done" but not just yet.

Haircut day

Today I went to school which was pretty good, the funny thing is the days feel so long because just a normal 45 minutes feels like an eternity. Thankfully after, I had my run which I honestly feel a lot of peace doing, then I went to down town concord to get my haircut, which it was time for a haircut because my hair was super thick do it was nice and after that I've been doing homework and requirements and now just chilling.

Last Journal! Read this

Hey guys, this is my final journal and I want to make it special. Today was an experience because I went through the routine and finally made it to P.E., now in P.E. today we did a push-up and sit-up check to see how physically able we are. I did 56 sit-ups and 86 push-ups, and they lasted 1 minute. I think that I did good, so after that I went up to the high-school, and I finished my homework. Then I left and I went to the chiropractor and got some of my body fixed so I'm not as broken. I'm excited for the end of cycle, and I realize that we all have a drive to make it to the end of black belt cycle, you know what yours is so use it to your advantage. When you need some inspiration, just think of why you are doing this,...

Work Laps

I am at work and it is fairly busy. I plan on doing some walking later when my last admission gets here. Everyone knows about my walks so it is no surprise to anyone. I have always liked doing laps at work. The only difference is that before it was mainly to get my daily steps in…… now it is for my requirements. One of the nurses spilled the peppermint oil…it smells good to me but others think it is overwhelming. I have a wooden case of essential oils so I love it……I even make my own bug repellent. Tomorrow begins my TKD stretch. Talk to you later.

After Journaling for this many days, you really start to run out of things to write about.  Let's see, I got up at my normal 5am...prepared for school. Then I fed my fur babies and walked my doggies.  School went ok. I had extra kiddos due yo being split for testing amd another teacher leaving early. Teenty- six 7 and 8 year olds...needless yo say, not a lot was accomplished and I was waaaaay off my schedule.   Stayed late to do some work and meet with one of my mentees( I have 2 at school) then came hone and some how managed to get my requirements in. I think burpees should he replaced with jumping jacks or light bouncing- similar to what we do in sparring.  Time for bed. Night all

Bonus DLC #7

Just caught up my logging from my book and realized that I have way more burpees done than the other physical requirements.  And not just a handful but a significant amount.  Started paging back through the weeks and realized I accidentally logged 44 minutes instead of 4 one day back in August, probably due to double-tapping the key on the keyboard.  I'd rather have the 44 but I didn't do them and I don't want to suddenly find out on testing night that I'm short by 40 due to a typo.

Sunday....woke up sore from the kick a thon and with a headache, so much for going to the park to meet up and practice.   Got my requirements done....not sure if I'm going to get all 'zeros' because I've been entering my time and not the amount of the requirement. However, I asked several times about completing the tracker correctly,  and I was assured to put the time for: jump rope, push ups, sit ups, burpees, poomsaes, self-defense,  and kicks....which doesn't match the tracker, but what am I going to do?!?! I'm following directions.

Today I did my second digital detox which is really interetsing because i'm constantly bored and wanting to check my phone, lucky for me, my phone was locked away in rice prison which made it easier to not check it for I'm not constantly looking at it. During today I did 2 bike rikes, 2 days of self defence, 1 day of poomsae, and 1 day of kicks. Maybe I should do this more often.

Not certain how much longer I'll keep journaling.  It's a bit weird to keep going but I'm enjoying taking a few minutes to wrap up my day this way. This morning we had class and decided not to stay for Muay Thai.  We didn't sleep well last night and needed to get home and eat some real food before kicking our little hearts out.  After that we finished our requirements for the day and ran some errands.  Samuel helped make dinner and did a really good job and our eldest made some half-brownies/half-blondies out of his Minecraft cookbook.  But now it's time for bed.

I did not think I was going to make it....going to work on no sleep, short rest, black belt class, short rest, and King Tiger Kick-a-Thon. There was a lot of willpower to get me through. It was for a really good cause and I enjoy being a part of that. I am super sore right now and I am looking forward to a good night's sleep. I want to meet at the park tomorrow for practice, but I do not think I will make it. I am really behind on grocery shopping and the household needs vittles. Have a good night!!

Airsoft day

Today I woke up and went to work at King Tiger Harrisburg, we had good classes I had my sparring class today which was a lot of fun. I had to leave pretty early to go to the Kickathon, which was a lot of fun, we got to kick a lot and raise some money, after that I went home and took a shower and just chilled for a little bit before I had to leave to go to my friends house to play airsoft with 18 other people, it was so fun because there was so many people the games would get super intense, so overall we had a great day.

Kicks A Thon

During today, I woke up for Saturday black belt class were we did rolls and falls, staffs, sticks bolo and Anyo Isa. I came back later for the kick a thon where we kicked until we've reached a target limit for money as a fundraiser for the cancer leukemia foundation. This was my first time doing this as a volunteer experience and so my legs ached, and I felt sweaty after all the kicking I did. I was surprised to see more people than previously thought therefore felt was great as a community. As I got home all I could do was rest, but not before having dinner. Goodnight.

Kick-a-thon

Today was the kick-a-thon, I was so excited.  My grandparents and family donated money so I had to do alot of kicks.  After that, my dad and I went to get my cypress plant for the cycle.  Tonight we went to Alinos for dinner.  It's my favorite pizza place.  When we got home we chilled out on our outdoor couch.  Have a great day.

Saturday-9/7/24

Hey everyone, Today, was a very long day, but it was a good one. I went to class early and started learning Anyo Isa. Then I took class where Master Evins had us doing rolls, sticks, staff, bolo, and Anyo Isa. Followed by a quick Koryo session. After class, I worked with the little tigers class and Saturday morning class. After work, I went out for pizza and gelato with my friend Caleb and then headed back to the dojang for the Kickathon. It was very fun and sweaty work but I got all my kicks done with help from my friends and brothers. After the Kickathon we all took a picture. I went home, took a shower, cleaned my room, had dinner, and played basketball with my brothers. Have a goodnight everyone.

Great day

Today has been all about Tae Kwon Do. I started the day with a blackbelt class, then did the first day of the white belt challenge. I actually learned a few things. Then we did the kick-a-thon, which was fun but exhausting. The rest of the day has been spent doing requirements with Dylan, and reading my Atomic Habits book.  I feel pretty confident that I will pass the test in a couple of weeks.
