3 Classes in, 8 lbs lighter. My groin really hurts.

So I went to class again last night.  Small group.  Black belts mostly.  Did some kicking up and down the floor, a little cardio, and not enough stretching.  My groin and hamstrings are so very sore today I think I might cry.

However, pain aside, I haven't been this light in years and I'm starting to feel strong and fast again. Thankyou TKD and thankyou to my lovely wife who persuaded me to get back into the sport I love.  It's a good thing its a long weekend coming up.  I need the heal up time to stop limping. 

Here's a new trick I've discovered for rapid weight loss.  Don't snack.  In fact don't eat anything 2hrs before bed.

Class #2

Well I've made it through 2 classes now.  The 2nd class went much better than the first.  Not only do I not hurt this morning, but I was actually starting to feel some of my old Tae Kwon Do ability come back.  It feels good to be properly kicking things again.  Now if I could only lose a few more lbs. in a hurry.

I had to stop myself from teaching one of the colour belts at class last night.  It was only my 2nd class, I didn't want to over-step my bounds.  However, teaching isn't something I'm opposed to. I used to run classes for fighters all the time.  But I think I'm a little too old school for the folks at the Dojang (Tae Kwon Do club), there would almost certainly be a mutiny if I did. 

haha

Tonight's another night.  results will follow.
