Made the Cut

And with a some pounds to spare!  Wearing a reminder band has helped immensely!  I met my goal for my most recent blue belt as well.  Two victories in three days.  15 lbs to go before the next testing.

Fight For It

2.6 lbs down at the last weigh in. This is good considering it was the Saturday after spring break. 4 more lbs to go to stay in competition. It is very reasonable. Working extra hard at karate this week and got in a 30 minute additional walk in today, and it's only Tuesday.

Weigh in!

It would have been advantageous for me to have the weigh in prior to spring break but hey, warm weather is on the way! Whatever ground I may have lost will be regained with more outside activity.
