My daughter and I tested for Karate Saturday.

We are both 9th degree white belts (the first stripe on the white belt)! The testing was a on and a half hour workout of 1,000 or more ab crunches and 600 or so pushups, forms evaluation, and questioning on dojo terminology and history by the brown belts. It was amazing and grueling but the camaraderie among the people in our group was WONDERFUL! I've accomplished my fitness goal for this year!

Thanks Beck

I'm looking better, but it's going to be a good while till I look the way I want. LOL

I really surpassed what I had as a goal, which was just to keep working and stay in karate. I wasn't going to test, but one of the dojo people said they knew I could do it, and they were right.

You kick butt woman! Oh, no pun intended. ;)
Seriously, that's awesome. You should both be very proud of yourselves. I think I would have died if I had to do that many push ups! Hats off!

YOU ROCK, girl!! You are so put together now between your karate, your kids and your studies. I know that good things are in store for you in 2005.

I can do the abs - but you would have me on the pushups. The most I have ever done in a day is 80. Very good!!

There is nothing better than being in the best shape you can be. Amen sister!!
