Girl With The Green Belt

Posted on September 28, 2011 by dezolutions

  September 10th, I tested for my blue stripe. Which is one belt step higher than green belt. I realized I don’t have any photos on here to prove I have indeed, earned said belt. So here they are!  I also had my  Taekwoniversary on September 6th. One whole year!  I have truly learned a [...]

How to Know If You’re the Office Jock

Posted on March 15, 2011 by dezolutions

- During a benefits meeting, others ask for more personal days… you ask for a gym on the first floor - You get caught doing lunges in the break room - You get caught doing yoga in your office during break - You get caught doing karate in the bathroom - You get caught doings squats at the water cooler [...]

Today, I will eat breakfast.

Posted on March 7, 2011 by dezolutions

  You’ve heard the expression ‘Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper’. I have been doing things a little backwards. Breakfast like a pauper, lunch like a king and dinner like a prince. It’s been 7 weeks and not a single pound lost, or gained for that matter. [...]

Trying to get up that great big hill of hope, for another weigh-in.

Posted on January 10, 2011 by dezolutions

After a stead fast diet of holiday treats, starches, and carbs, oh my. My year ended 15lbs heavier.  Who doesn’t gain weight over the holidays? Well… I don’t.  I’ve mentioned before, the holidays were always a stressful time, trying to cram for finals, surviving on whatever I could that was available at arm’s length from [...]

Back In The Saddle (Bags) Again

Posted on January 4, 2011 by dezolutions

It was a long 2 weeks of not working out. I had family in town for the holidays and between working, shopping, cooking and entertaining I didn’t have the time, nor the space to squeeze in a workout. I did however, go ice skating, but that was the extent of my exercise…oh, and if you [...]

The Journey of a White Belt

Posted on December 13, 2010 by dezolutions

 4 months, 2-3x a week. Sore legs, bruises, burning thighs, pulled muscles. Sweat, vomit, stubbed toes. Hundreds (probably thousands) of push-ups, sit-ups, knee-ups, ki-ups. Pads, turtles, jump rope, running drills, warm ups. 19 move form (Chun-ji), Korean vocabulary, 3 sparring drills, blocks, punches, kicks, close to perfect precision…and finally a double board break with an [...]

Taekwondezzy, Kee-YA!!

Posted on September 17, 2010 by dezolutions

So I FINALLY did it. I joined Taekwondo at the C.W. Taekwondo Boston studio. Took me awhile to build up the courage, and finally settle into a normal schedule. I went to the free trial class last night, and I expected to sleep on it before I wrote a check and signed the paperwork. BUT, [...]

#10. I fell off the treadmill…

Posted on May 20, 2010 by dezolutions

So to speak.  After my failed 5K I knew I needed a break. And I took it. I had some other medical crap to deal with that made me take a break from working out, per doctors recommendation. In addition, I was really just looking for some social interaction. Having a workout buddy is a [...]

#10. 5K not look’n so good…(Roller Derby injury returns)

Posted on April 30, 2010 by dezolutions

I had a nice hard run on Monday. And my knee has been killing me since! To be honest…the last 3 runs it has really been bothering me.  I try to take it easy on certain days, but once my iPod gets on Alicia Keys and she start’s yell’n “Neeeew YOOORK, Concrete jungle where dreams are [...]

#10. Now if everyone jumped off a plateau, would you do it too, young lady!??

Posted on March 25, 2010 by dezolutions

The answer is yes…everyone plateaus. I dont understand the science behind busting through one…but eating less and exercising more is NOT the way to do it.  I asked advice from my friends and family, and my bff Dana  told me to change up my workouts! That makes sense, work on different areas of my  body. [...]
