In preparation for our Fall Intramurals tomorrow (all the Jhoon Rhee schools in the DC metro area have a competition twice a year), we've been doing a lot of point and free sparring this week. I was on the floor for just under two hours last night, and this morning: ow. It's just minor stuff, and I'll be fine tomorrow morning. As of right now though: ow.
I'm feeling good about the form I'll be competing with (Jungyee). I can run through the entire form without thinking, my posture is good, my stances are low, my kicks are high, my timing is on, and my yells are loud. Fear me, or I'll do the TKD equivalent of synchronized swimming in your general direction!
I won all my matches last night except one. The one I lost I lost decisively though: I didn't score a single point on my opponent. I have no clue what happened there. I was probably thinking too much. Sparring has to be fluid and spontaneous, and I don't think I was either in that match.
I'm still stuck at 170lbs. This is starting to get annoying. Except for the part where my waist is still shrinking. I just want 15 more pounds off. That's it. I'm not asking much. I don't know if I'll manage, but even getting to 165 and holding that wouldn't suck at this point. I managed to get down to 167 but it didn't hold. I guess I should be happy though, my wife says I have abs again. I haven't had abs in 10 years. My chest, arms, and legs have never been as built as they are now, but that's not what I'm going for. I just want to be thin and tone again, I don't like bulky.
