Holy smokes I didn't realize I was away from here since before the new year!! How has six months gone by that quickly?! :whaa: Firstly - thank you everyone for the congrats about the belt upgrade and the happy new year's as well!! You are so lovely and I hope this first half of 2023 has been...

These look fantastic! Thanks so much :LOL:

Been insanely busy through the month of November with both jobs; winter gearing up here aka shoveling galore; my kiddo's school + extracurricular activities + therapies; my own jits training and various other appointments; AND I decided to just finish doing my upgrading - only English 12 left...

Thanks!!

Thanks! It's been a lot of fun!

Oh my word @TopNotch this is an excellent description of what my body needs to be doing. That feels totally different to what I was trying to make my body do and weirdly cranking my knee in the process just a bit. So despite the on 'paper' aspect of it, it makes sense and I don't think I've...

Belated congrats on Back & Core :hop: Your indoor cycle distances are impressive :shock::yaz:

Sounds awesome!!

17.10 (Mon) to 20.10.2022 (Thurs) [cont.] ~ I started as the assistant instructor for the self-defense classes at the club this week and I am INCREDIBLY excited about it! The focus for these classes is defending against different types of punches/kicks, protecting your neck against chokes...

17.10 (Mon) to 20.10.2022 (Thurs) Alright so, just gonna do a bulk update for the last few days. On Monday I played catch up for Sat and Sun in regards to the daily challenges and that put me back on track with them for the rest of the week/month. I picked up the Hard Reset programs between Mon...

Competitions are not a requirement, though you can learn a lot from doing them! As @Heniek said most belt ranking up in each discipline does require a test and typically with a higher ranked belt when you do it. I'm certainly late to this party a bit with my two cents, though slightly biased...

16.10.2022 (Sun) ~ I disappeared and opted to pause both programs + lifting, and literally any other form of tech entertainment, while I got the stone patio job done. I was too overwhelmed with the two jobs, 2 programs + weight lifting, BJJ training again three days a week and my kiddo starting...

Glad you were able to get the meds you needed @LizardFriend95 and your pumpkins look absolutely incredible :delight:

26.09.2023 (Mon) ~ Stone Patio Work: 9am to just after 12pm Lifting (mostly) Chest [5 sets] bench press: 7, 7, 6, 6,5 reps w/ 105lbs [+4 rep overall increase] DB floor flys: 12 reps w/27.5lb DBs [2.5lb increase] upright rows: 8 reps w/27.5lb DBs [around 5ish lb increase - tough!] + bicep...

25.09.2023 (Sun) ~ Brother got married this afternoon to a very lovely gal. I'm very glad that he's found someone that fits him so well! My kiddo (ASD + non-verbal) doesn't well with groups larger than 10 or a ton of noise so we hung out in the garden at the church for the ceremony. We did try...

Nice work @JohnStrong !! Crushed it :yas: Pat on the back well earned!

Happy, happy birthday @Redline !! Hope it's been/was an awesome sauce kinda day :birthday: :hop:

24.09.2023 (Sat) Open Mat (11:30am to 12pm) ~ Sparred with two +200lb purple belts for four 5 minute rounds with 45 sec rest. Easily two of my favourite team mates to roll with because they don't go easy on me at all and give AMAZING instruction as well! I'm so close to snagging subs on the...

23.09.2023 (Fri) ~ The afternoon imploded with some massive family drama and so I didn't go to class this evening like I'd planned as I was literally on and off phone calls for hours with one person after the other. While also attempting to finish up my errands before driving the 45 minutes...
