Tuesday

I am feeling very accomplished. I got up at 4:30 this morning and even though it was only 40 degrees outside, I went for a 1.5 mile walk/run. It was cold. I thought I dressed warm enough but when the wind started blowing, boy was it cold. Yes. I did it!! Also, back around Christmas I received a new dobok. I had it (both the pants and sleeves) hemmed. I did not wear the dobok after I got it altered because the pants legs were too snug/not comfortable on my thighs. (not a result of alterations) Well, last night I decided to try it on before I went to my Monday Black Belt class at South Charlotte. I am excited and proud to say that the pants legs were considerably looser. Matter of fact, Master Chin said it looks big on me. I was a little discouraged because the numbers on the scale aren't dropping as quickly as I wish they would. This, however, is a spirit lifter. I must be loosing fat and inches and building muscle. Thank you Black Belt cycle.
