Travelling on the frugal path to Freedom

Tuesday, I was very sore from the Karate workout.

However Wednesday was excruciating!!!

So what did I do?? I went back tonight. I will give the sensei credit, he totally focused on a different area. He worked all sections of the body, but the main focus was another muscle group. Although my whole body is still sore from the first workout.

We did some very hard things. My upper body strength SUCKS. So I really need to do some work on that. But overall I can keep up pretty good. I only did 80 leg lifts instead of 100. And my shoulders were too sore and weak for day one to do a proper bench dip thingy. I did a modified, and only managed 3 sets instead of 5. I ran alot slower than everyone else, but I ran the full 2 minutes. But when they did the side shuffle, (we did 5 minutes of that the first class), my legs would take it, so i just jogged. So it's ok.

Muscle pain is good, and as the sensei predicted it started to fade on day 3, so it wasn't over doing it, it was building and toning.

Hopefully it's not too bad this time. But I figure, if those poor souls on Biggest Loser can survive Jillian 7 days a week being morbidly obese, I can manage karate with a kind Sensei who tells us to listen to our body and modify if we have to, twice a week. Suck it up buttercup

Hopefully the weight will start coming off. Will weigh in tomorrow, I was down .6 last week. So a good start. With any luck there will be another neagive number

Good night!!
