I also just found out that I budgeted around twice as much as needed for food when planning for my new car. Life just became a lot more affordable! :D
 
"Your call is very important to us. Please continue to hold." :rolleyes:

ETA: This place has more ways to say that than I've EVER heard. I'm about to hang up and just try tomorrow.

I'm both looking forward to, and dreading karate tonight.

On Tuesday she had us go wide open for the first fifteen minutes, and after only ten, most of us were dripping sweat. I was sore as hell yesterday morning. Hopefully, she won't be as gung-ho tonight. My poor muscles aren't happy still.

(on the plus side, I've lost almost eight lbs in three weeks, all while eating like crazy because I was so hungry)

It wasn't as intense tonight as it was Tuesday, although Shihan got aggravated at a bunch of folks because they didn't know how to line up. She punished all of us for it...we had to do doggie kicks out to the side - twenty on each side.

BUT....we got to do flying side kicks tonight, jumping over the blocker bags (four of them are about three feet high when they're stacked), and getting to kick Shihan's bag as hard as we want, and yelling while we did it, of course.:D

I feel like an uncoordinated idiot when I do jump kicks, and my knees absolutely hate them.

Really? I would have thought you'd do well with them.

When she first explained what she wanted us to do, my reaction was "there's no way in hell." I guess all those years long jumping on the track team weren't as forgotton as I supposed, because I cleared five bags (about four feet high, give or take a bit) easily.

I didn't try six or seven, though. A couple of the guys did, and cleared them spectacularly. She added height each time, just seeing what we could do. Tons of fun. :D

I've been told they look okay. It's just how I feel doing them. While there are certainly jump kicks with a running start (mostly to break boards), the ones in our color belt forms are from a fixed stance. Hard to get much height that way, especially with an ass as wide as mine.
