I do try to keep training at home, I do a lot of kitchen kata while dinner is cooking, its not quite the workout I get going to class, though, but its something. I also try and do some kicking drills just to keep my joints from tightening up too much.<br />I guess it is what it is ~ and after the holidays are over, I'll get back on track.<br /><br />Merry Christmas!!frotoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05229341195876947860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18465541.post-71439858794821243162006-12-21T06:27:00.000-06:002006-12-21T06:27:00.000-06:00I can certainly understand your frustration, thoug...I can certainly understand your frustration, though I'm more like Steve and welcome the break. School parties and such do take training time away, and I only have one child. I can't imagine how you do it with seven. <br /><br />About the pressure to eat... boy do I relate to that! I am fairly slim, and so what I get told is "It's not like you have to worry about gaining weight!"--or something similar. But I do. I have to watch every single bite that goes in to my mouth. I sypmathize with you. Stay strong. Do what you know is right for you. <br /><br />Have a very Merry Christmas!Becky Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901212090175780900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18465541.post-72354228513142318282006-12-19T15:17:00.000-06:002006-12-19T15:17:00.000-06:00I know what you mean, I train at least three times...I know what you mean, I train at least three times a week plus any courses etc at the weekend. I wander around the house aimlessly when there is no training. I am sure I put on three or four pounds on the weeks I cant train for one reason or another, or is it I just get bored and visit the fridge? I too have the 7 foot tree in the lounge and we have had to shut off the door from the hall it is so big. Perhaps I will just do some stretching for a few days infront of that open fire, I will have to move the Golden Retriever out of the way first. Luv your blog keep it going in 2007 , Merry Christmas, Osu!Selby Karatekahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953105298269967806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18465541.post-76745246744970354152006-12-18T21:29:00.000-06:002006-12-18T21:29:00.000-06:00I don't really feel a frustration, in fact, I welc...I don't really feel a frustration, in fact, I welcome the break. Kind of take time to recharge the batteries to be ready to attack some more learning after the holidays.<br /><br />I do understand what you mean about your body telling you that it needs to move, but it doesn't absolutely need to do karate, does it? I mean, even with little room, you can probably find a little space to at least do squats and lunges and such, even stretching and pushups and situps without going through the whole kata everytime. I plan on picking up my free weights (dumbells) during the break, maybe do a few squats every couple of days with a few pounds in each hand then make sure I stretch a little to stay ready for after the break.<br /><br />Good luck with the evil holiday break ;)<br /><br />Take care, SteveFrogManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02638903485617639854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18465541.post-20594988668224960492006-12-18T08:34:00.000-06:002006-12-18T08:34:00.000-06:00You certainly are not.

I keep tuesdays and thursdays. At least twice a week, even if that's very moderate for me. And everytime I have 15 minutes to myself, I do forms.<br /><br />As to eating, I eat a lot. :-)<br /><br />Have a very nice holiday!Mathieuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914289317924626891noreply@blogger.com
