That's what the scale said this am. One hundred and fifty one pounds. I blinked, looked down again and read it. It still said One hundred and fifty one pounds. That's almost one hundred and fifty. Why, that's nearly almost in the 140s. Oh My!
My leg lifts, good eating choices, massages (you should totally add these to your maintenance routine if you can - more on that later) and long walks with the baby are paying off.
Then there's Tae Kwan Do. My kids started taking classes and after you sign up two family members, the rest are free. So, yesterday I slipped on my sweats (do these really hang so close to my fat ripples on my thighs?) and went to kick and punch with them. It was a lot of fun, and because the room is so warm I really sweat! Great workout - only 1/2 hour. Plus we learned some practical ways to keep ourselves from being dragged to a car.
I took Defensive Tactics for nearly a year about five years ago. I went for 8 hours a week every week and got very cut (even though I can't say I remember much). I thought the Tae Kwan Do classes were great for the kid's motivation, but probably wouldn't touch on the 'dirty' fighting techniques that I'd learned. WRONG! The kids were taught full force how to break a bad guy's arm!
*By the way - if you have young ladies, you may want to consider getting them in a simple self defense class - there is something about knowing your kids were taught to get out of a grab that soothes a mother's heart*
So - Friday is approaching and the surf is up in Hawaii (not too high, I hope!) and this little lady is going walk all her one hundred and fifty one pounds happily down the beach, surfboard in tow.

Wow! Good for you for taking that class! I'm gonna try a new cardio kick boxxing class Thursday night.
151?! 151?! That is so great! If I could just squeak into 159, I'd be on cloud 9!
Have fun in Hawaii. I'm jealous, never been. : )
Oh, I really should take a self defense class with my oldest daughter. Great idea!
I'm still thinking about what I will do to continue exercising now that this walk is over. Two of my teammates and I have both agreed we want to keep meeting for our walks, so that's great. I'm also thinking about roller blading. If I can work it in the budget I may join the Y too.
Jen, there are lots of places to take self defense, and its a great bonding thing to do with your daughter!
I'll bet they have classes at the Y.
I think this course is a tad bit pricy, but when two family members sign up, the rest are free!
