I've plateaued in my weight loss for about a month. I need to - rededicate and get better at tracking my calories. - Move more try to get 5 workouts per week done - be the best TKD instructor I can be

I charge $45 per month for a 1hr once a week class. I am cheaper than most around me.

That's a big one! You can do it, train hard to make the fight easy!

Yea mine recommends 60 per meal and 30 per snack. 60 per day seems pretty restrictive.

Yes I have T2 on both sides of my family, My great aunt went blind and lost a foot to uncontrolled diabetes

Con : random broken household items

Con - there's no one to kick!

Good stuff...Proud weirdo here!

I teach Concealed Carry classes and part of that curriculum is situational awareness. I have taken that teaching and introduced into my Taekwondo classes. Never too young to pay attention or too old to learn something new.

Glad you found us Flo!

So according to Google that is $362. Seems bit steep to me.

Anything that makes you move. I personally love doing martial arts.

love escrima if it's done right it can be a good workout

have my weight start with a 2, It has not done that since 2006

Wow!! that is amazing! Congrats!!

I love metal fab, I might look into making one. I think a weighted Microphone stand might be a good start.

What is that device he's kicking called? I'd like one

I accidentally grabbed my 13 year old son's Karate pants and wore them for an entire class and didn't notice. They are 2 sizes smaller than mine.

He's a talented dude! I'm impressed for sure!

This exactly! Volunteer to teach some of the intermediate skill if there is a group in that category. I learn so much more when I teach.

I regularly spar with my instructor and sometimes we like to get pretty heavy into it (were both big guys (I'm 6ft 315 he's 6'3" about 280) I have certainly beaten him in a point sparring match a time a two but I have no question that he could end me in a matter of seconds in a real fight. Sometimes people are just dumb!

He said if I start experiencing any low readings he'll adjust my metformin. But right now he said let's keep doing what we're doing.

I ran through Chon Ji yesterday with my students expecting to keep them interested for 15 minutes or so and the next thing I know we were 40 minutes in and they were glued to me! It was awesome!

Welcome Lou! you'll find lots of like minded individuals here!

I too love bread and have found the Aunt Millies 35 calorie breads to be much lower carb and high fiber and they taste good!

I loved My Diabetes ed class, I have heard so many people say it was a waste of time but I learned so much! Just like you I liked to hear from those that had been there and all the nurses that taught my class were also diabetic so that was helpful too.

Great job! Tourneys are so fun!

I'm still around, pretty dead here though

Yes a bed time snack helps keep the liver from dumping excess sugar while you sleep. It made a huge difference in my fasting numbers as well. I usually have Aunt Millies brand 35 calorie whole grain bread with some peanut butter.

I couldn't take it any longer so I called my Doctor and told them I needed my A1c number for my last Diabetes Ed class tonight (they call it a class reunion). In February my A1c was 11.8 it is now 5.7! I'm pretty pumped!!
