never quit

We are all reminded of how life gets in the way of things. Our health impacts a lot of our decisions daily.I have a physical annoyance and it prevents me from doing high impact exercises or running or jumping. Consequently my exercise regime is mostly low impact. Now this takes a lot of patience and perseverance. Seeing results with this method take a lot longer. I did get my black belt with perseverance. I cannot express in words just how special it was on that day I did get my black belt. I had to work consistently at my exercises and practices in order to achieve the level of fitness required. My knee injury was a blessing in disguise because I started training as soon as I could and I was able to grade within 2 years of the injury. This may sound tedious and boring however the sense of accomplishment is beyond words. So I am taking this year to heart and not quitting any goal. Slow and steady really does win the race. Keeping this up front in my mind is what helps me go on when my body tries to quit on me. I may not do 180 push ups a day yet but I am getting closer to the number. I can do 40 per set, 20 normal 20 triceps then 20 crunches and 20 leg raises. I really concentrate on those core stabilizers to help with my endurance. Staying to do the san sou on Fridays is hard because I really am tiered by that time and still make it to work.I will find a formula to make that class because I see the opportunity to get my sparring hours in.
Yes my physical limitations still keep me from going at full speed but I will never stop trying.
It's my birthday today so Randy is spoiling my by doing my chores,
I had pizza 2 slices fully loaded, then brought 2 more to work, had a  pretzel with mustard, a big glass of a fruit smoothie, and an orange.
