I'm so proud of myself. I've only been at it for 3 months, and I love it. I'm losing inches, gaining muscle, confidence, and I'm finally getting back into shape after 6 years of chasing babies.
Love, A.

That's awesome. I was in judo for years in college. I loved it. I was in the best shape of my life. I felt so good. I wish I had kept up with it. I'm glad you've found something that works for you and makes you feel like a million bucks. You deserve it!

That is just so good!! Don't slow down ... don't stop. That black belt is just time, patience, and practice away and then there is Jujutsu. It is all so good for you mentally and physically. Keep after it. It is something that you can teach and pass on to your children.
Good for you!

It will make you a better person and a better Mom. I think we often lose sight of the fact of our OWN needs. See if you can get your husband or someone to commit to the kids once a week for an hour or so and find something that you REALLY love.

I wish there was karate when I was young. It has made such a difference in my confidence, self esteem, fitness, depression is less, more energy, everything has improved. It's really a way of life - mind, body and spirit. Thanks!

Isn't it funny that 90% of the effort is simply getting in the door? After that, it's mostly fun and adrenaline. I walk out of there dripping with sweat and feel SO good. Take care of yourself and that adorable baby! XO
