She Lies Like a Dog

The funny part about this whole Tae Kwon Do thing is I have NEVER enjoyed exercise or sports. Signed my son up to do TKD and have been sitting (pay attention here) in the lobby during his classes for a year now. Realized I had put on some weight, (shocker, I know) and tried but just couldn't lose it. Ended up not sleeping for a whole weekend with a hip that hurt. So was talking with my very good friend S about how desperate I was to lose weight so that my hip wouldn't bother me so much...(who am I kidding, I wanted to look better too.) She mentioned that Mr G. (TKD Instructor) said TKD would help me with flexibility and to lose weight. Now being a good friend she topped it off with "So and So joined and she has lost 40 LBS." So the next day I did what any INSANE woman would do and signed up for TKD. Now to the Lie. I sat in Mr. G's office and looked the man in the eyes and told him I was only interested in TKD as exercise and would permanently stay a white belt (beginner). That was the end of June and I am now a Green Belt (LOL), preparing to go to tournament. Man, I am having a blast, I can't remember ever feeling better or looking better for that matter. The only thing that TKD hasn't helped with is my Craziness. But as someone wise said " You can't have your cake and eat it, too!"
