It's December already 2011
Oh my well shame faced me...I guess I am not very good at keeping up with the bloggin...lol
its 09/12/2011 and I have not been here a lot lately...Karate is Karate and still keeping me sane....along with my horse my hubby and my kids...I did grade to 1st kyu in September so I hit that goal...I have been at the gym and I am lifing heavier weights...I am now bench pressing 40kg and I can also row 45kg and do about the same on a tricep pulldown so I am very happy with my weights...running and cardio...mmmmm thats pretty much a dirty word...I know I need it but I don't really enjoy it...
I have been getting up early and doing some MRT with Craig....and I am enjoying that.....I do need to add back some intervals to go with that...My youngest will attempt his blue belt tomorrow...I hope that goes well....fingers crossed....and Sunday is the senior Karate presentation night so that should be fun....
life is really gearing up for Christmas and everything seems to be going sooooo fast. I started a new job in September with a 6 month probationary period so by end of Feb I should be pretty stable....all things considered Life is pretty good....
I am still hoping to grade to my black belt in Sept 2012 but only time will tell if thats possible or not...I will continue to work towards my goal and see it happening but I will be happy if I make it by Sept 2013....at this point most things seem to be on track....
Catch ya round kiddo's....
and remember life was meant to be good...

back again....
Ok so Here I am again....
My Gym program has been totally revamped and I am having a great time lifting weights, Training at Karate and just being alive.....
I am currently a 2nd Kyu brown belt and I am waiting for the opportunity to try and grade. My goal is to make it to 1st Kyu in September 2011 that would set me up to be on track to get my Black Belt (shodan Ho) in September 2012... There is a small posibility that I could grade in March or June but the March grading is next Saturday and I have no invitation yet so that is highly unlikely. I will wait and see what happens but if I make it by September I will be happy. That would be 1 year since my last grading and a resonable expectation for me so long as I keep training hard....
The revamped Gym program is awesome I have worked through the 2 day program fully once and did day one again today....I really struggled with the extra weights that I am lifing the first day but I got through it all and even though I really felt it I have been able to go back and add extra weight to 70% of the different exercises....
I am not really running at the moment except for a short 20 min run on the treadmill for day 2 of my gym program. As I said in my last post goals change..... OK so at this time I have strength goals that basically say I want to be able to double the weights that I am lifting over the next 12 weeks and fitness goals that include 100 push ups and 200 decline sit ups.....Karate goals were listed above 1st Kyu by September and black belt by September 2012 that basically means improving all techniques and Kata's and hitting my fitness goals. So I will keep you up to date with things as they progress...have a great week. :)

OMG OMG OMG this blog still exists.....
wow I really thought they would have canned this blog since I haven't been here since Oct last year..... how amazing that it's still here...
So much has been happening and so much has stayed the same it's really pretty scary....
after changing jobs my position with victoria Station came to an end at the end of November and I really can't say I am sorry....I really liked the people I was working with but the location and the hours were really bad for me....I had a panicy couple of weeks before landing a temp position until the end of Jan and then I have found a position closer to home again.....I am sure it will all settle down in the next couple of weeks and I can work on keeping my routiens in order......
Ok I joined a Gym with my brown belt mate Tegan and we have been punishing ourselves with Zumba and weights a couple of times a week on top of doing Karate a min of 3 times a week. I have noticed some good improvements in Strength and conditioning since joining the gym and I had my program reset done this morning so I am really excited and can't wait to get in there and working through it....
I started running again and have been working through the C25K program on a treadmill....I started at week 3 and finished week 7 last week however as is often the case the goals are continuously being upgraded....
I originally wanted to run 5 k because of the Karate Marathon that was in the past run in January....much to my dismay this year despite me working my but off to improve on last years efforts they didn't run one... Don't get me wrong none of the work was wasted but at this time of my life I don't really need to be able to run for 5km....I am running intervals on the treadmill and using the cross trainer to cover a cardio componant in my gym work and Karate is making sure I keep on top of my stamina....so my theory is that because the human body is sooooo good at adapting to what we put it through I am going to change up my program a bit every 4 weeks or so and see where that takes me...The change in my life over the past 5 years has been extraordinary when you consider that in Oct 2006 I was 25kg heavier, I smoked the equivalent of at least a pack a day, and I did very little in the way of exercise....to be where I am now exercising 5-6 days a week not smoking and loving my life.....I have to say Karate is AWESOME.....thanks to all my friends and family who have supported me esspecially my hubby and kids who take all my fads with a grain of salt and deal we me being an absolute nutter.....
