Emily Grace is coming along with the Yul-Guk pattern. She really tries hard and that is all I would ever ask or expecting from her.
Testing is this Friday, so we are trying to fine tune things a bit for that. Once Friday comes & goes, it'll be a hard press till National/Worlds in April. That competition is getting close fast, so we don't have time to procrastinate.
Some folks have asked about my weight loss. So, here the scoop. I began in January at 215lbs (ridiculous). Knowing that being in such pitiful shape gave me little to know chance of competing at a higher level in April, I began a focused effort to lose down to a target weight of 185lbs by April 20th. I have incorporated Weights, Running, HIIT, increased stretching along with the standard TKD classes throughout the week at night.
The routine is as follows:
- Weight training- 3-4 days a week at 4:30am
- Run 2-3 days during mid-day follwing HIIT program
- TKD 3-4 nights a week.
The Results by week so far:
- Week 1: January 23- 215 lbs
- Week 2: January 30- 211 lbs
- Week 3: February 6- 204 lbs
- Week 4: February 13- 202 lbs
- Week 5: February 20- 200 lbs
- Week 6: February 27- 198 lbs
- Week 7: March 6- 196 lbs
- Week 8: March 13- 194 lbs
Eating habits changed to follow 50-30-20 (protein-carb-fat) eating plan. One day a week I have a cheat day to keep my sanity. Working real well so far.
Hope all has a Fantastic week/month/whatever. Peace to you.
