Out of curiosity, how old are you?

I would find a loving home for the cat. If you take the claws off, the cat might resort to chewing on the baby's face.

Just finished the Saga of Seven Suns series by Kevin J. Anderson. It's a huge space opera, with a cast of thousands. (well, there's a lot of characters). It's a 7 book series.

Welcome to the group!

This sounds crazy, but could it be the pounding sound you're hearing for an hour? You probably don't notice it while you're working out, but hitting a bag can get loud. Try wearing earplugs as a test.

Pace yourself, and drink enough. Keep yourself "up" and excited for the entire time,,When the day is over, you'll feel great for having done it!

Everybody's body is different. You might not be built to easily do a "correct" roudhouse kick. The important thing is to be able to deliver the kick with enough force to make it effective. Form is far less important than results. You need to find the way to deliver the kick so that it works best for you. Maybe you need to…

Congrats on your first time! Now, the next time will be easier.

@karylee4 It sounds like you were successful in reducing your weight before you gained some back. You even bought new clothes, so I'm guessing that you were feeling good about your new look. If you did it once, you can do it again. You have that success to remind yourself that it's not new territory. There are certain…

Keep your breathing under control, and keep your arms up.

One o my teachers used to say that the scariest people to work with are brown belts. They know enough to deliver some decent force in their strikes, but haven't learned the control yet...

If you've run a mile non-stop, doing a 5K is certainly something you can do.

Don't tell her about MFP, because if she finds your post, you're sunk.

Maybe he's terminally ill, and only has a year to live. She doesn't have the heart to walk out on him. Also, she will inherit the 200 million trust fund he has...

If the first time you tried it wiped you out, try lowering the effort level for the first few weeks. Use smaller weights, less reps, etc. As long as you do something, you will improve with time. You don't have to follow their schedule, either. Start slow, doing what you're comfortable with. Then, start kicking it up as…

It sounds like he likes to call the shots in the relationship.

Like someone just said, maybe he's married.

It all depends on the boards you are trying to break. From what I've read, if a board hasn't dried yet, it can be very hard to break, Using an oven will bring the moisture content down. If you microwave it for a really long time, the board will almost break itself. Most board breaking is done for show, and since it's so…

Don't forget "Billy Jack". Hippies and martial arts!

I take a spin class once per week. I try to get a variety of cardio workouts instead of just running.

If there was lightning, you get to double count it.

Then you ask what her name is, and she says "Candy".

You can forms (kata), if you have the room. You can mix it up by going slowly, then fast, then with dynamic tension, then loosely, etc. You can also get a couple of 3 pound weights, or whatever you're comfortable with, and doing punches, blocks, and even forms while holding the weights.

Not very interesting stuff, I'm afraid.

Thanks. My intent was to list some of the info that people are posting that, taken as a whole, could be compromising. I agree that some select, relevant info is fine. I think you need to know what your limits are, which are different for everybody. You make a good point.
