TaeKonDomama

I cannot say anything about either of my pregnancys because I was very unhealthy with them both. But my second olest step daughter is on her 3rd pregnancy. She had joined TaeKwonDo with my dd and me last Sept/ Oct. She is due December 17, and has kept up the TKD with us. Her doc told her it was fine as long as she listened…

I am headache prone. Since my son was born 11 years ago I have gone from about 1 migraine a month to where they are basically everyday. Some are worse than others tho. I have noticed lack of sleep, too much or too little caffeine, too little water, tension, artificial sweeteners, or my super biggie the weather fronts…

Hi, I just wanted to pop in for a second and say Hi. I imagin pepamint83 will be by so "Hi," And how is your toe? I hope it is not paining you as much this week. I've been fighting life coming between me and my plan. And the last few days I have had a migraine from weather fronts going through. Those ones are hard to…

Hey everyone I gotta lot of stuff to catch up on. I just wanted to say hi and we are back from our Magic Springs/ Rick Springfield concert trip. I got the 2 days of walking around the park as well as the bunch of fidgiting while waiting for him to get on stage. Then the boogyydown during the show. So even though I have…

allenhm- what martial art does your hubby teach? I think that is a good idea to water down the gatorade. It is so stron flavored with the "regular" ones anyway they need dilution.

I have always been a cottage cheese fan. I LOVE 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese and a baked sweet potato for a lunch or sometimes a supper. Some days I really crave that. The cottage cheese is nice protein and the sweet potato has a lot of good orange veggie vitamins. Or when I am feeling like a lasagna type meal the 2…

Hey everyone, Pepamint 83, so sorry to read about your toes. I broke a bone in my foot last May and was in a walking boot for 6 weeks. Even had it going around a theme park. I was SO glad to be out of it. Even though I didn't get active until October. Maybe you could do some stationary biking until those toesies heal. Ask…

In my experience when men make comments like that they are really unhappy about their own size. Many men want the Swartenager(sp?) type mucles and when they do not have that they take some thing or another to pick on about someone else. Some truely do not know that their actions could actually cause suicidal thought in…

hi everyone, I don't really know how I did tyhis week. Since I had the TaeKwonDo tounament Saturday I have taken Sunday and Monday off due to soreness as well as terrible looking weather. It looked like tornado weather for the last few days. It ended up not even raining here. Not that we needed the rain right now. But if…

Here is a calculator that you put your weight in and how long you exercised and it has a cals burned list. Now it doesn't specify Tae Kwon Do but it does have Martial Arts- general. It would give you a good idea anyway. http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calories_burned.htm I hope it helps you.

chgudnitz: There were several factors in my chice of martial art. One big one was the area I live in des not have a lot of martial arts to choose from. I have noticed that within an hour drive there are several more studios popping up. Another factor was that my ds is homeschooled and really needed to get around kids. So…

chgudnitz : I agree if the walls are covered with the trophys the focus may not be the best for the person. Our school has a small trophy shelf and our focus is on improving what we each can do. Like I said when I went in I was pretty near 400 pounds and could not get on or off the floor to do the stretches on it without…

lizagna, you said: I always wanted to try martial arts but I'm scared to feel stupid if I end up in a class where everyone knows what to do and I know nothing. Sounds really stupid but its kept me from trying it. Do they have classes for adult beginners? I started just taking my kids to our class. But it brought back my…

Rosabella you will do it. I have heard those last 10 or 15 pounds really like to drive a person nuts. But you can do it. PumpkinheadsMOMMA, HAHAHAHA I had to laugh at that declaring war remark. I agree it is like a war to get those pounds to move from their terriory. You keep up the work and all of a sudden your body will…

Hello Sisters, DD and I went to the gym yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised to see the scale down another 4 pounds. Wow what a difference pushing a lawnmower around for 2 days, vacuuming and staemcleaning, sweeping and mopping and general picking up the house can do.Maybe I shoud do the stuff more often?:blushing:…

pepamint, that is great about doing those pushups. I was so happy at my last TaeKwonDo class I got 10 pushups done. I have been doing the class since October, and could barely do one. I have to do hte "girly" ones but I am happy for now. Maybe after I get a whole lot of weight off I will try the "real" ones. But right now…

I really have to shake myself up. After trying on my uniform bottom and having such a good experience I decided to go against my normal self and do the TKD tounament next month. So I have to keep up the hard work so I can be as fit as possible for that. Also I tried on a pair of jeans this morning that have been waiting…

It really depends on the person as to what side effects there are. I have been on several of the pills. I like the knowing exactly when my peiod will be. I also love the lighter ones and very little cramping. But I had been on the Yasmin at one time for 6 months. Six months of deppression so bad I had thoughts of suicide…

Thanks for the welcome. I was hoping nobody would mind me just hopping in. I went to the gym yesterday and found out I lost anther 4 pounds. Last night I had a big craving for one of my favorite meals. But it was after I had all I was planning to eat for the day. Usually when I crave it is for junk. But this was for a…

Hello I'm new here. I've been on my weight lose journey since the 1st week of thei month.By the 9th I joined a gym and finally weighed :embarassed: 378 pounds. I have SO much to lose still. But since the 9th with my food plan and exercising 6 days a week I have lost 12 pounds. I got brave enough to try on the pants to my…
