Hold Me Accountable

I have finally set some goals for this year. If you are reading this, please follow this Blog, follow me on Twitter, and/or friend me on Facebook. I need your encouragement. I need you to hold me accountable for my goals, and YELL at me if I get off track. I am writing this to ask for everybody to help me stay focused on my goals.

US OPEN
One of my goals that I have "re-set" for myself is to compete at the US Open (open Karate tournament) in July. I know I said I was going to train for this awhile ago, but then my back started to act up and I really did not feel like moving, much less training. But I am tired of laying around waiting for my back to get better. The doctor cleared me for any activity, I guess I just have to push through and ignore the pain. Which really sucks! Anyway, I've got 8 weeks to get ready for probably my biggest martial-arts competition yet. I don't know if I will be able to fight, but I am going to start preparing for it. I am going to plan on competing in sparing and traditional forms.

FIGURE COMPETITION
For those of you that have never heard of a figure competition, it is like a body building competition, but with smaller more feminine muscles. There is more to it, I know, but that is just the easiest way to explain it. Anyway, I have been told many times that I should do this, but I have always been so focused on Taekwondo that I blew it off. But now I really want to do it. I found a couple of shows in August that I plan to go to. One is the Florida State Championships in Orlando. I have my work cut out for me, especially when it comes to dieting. Still, I am very excited about this.

 I am nervous and excited for both. Keep me in your prayers that my back heals and that I do not get any more injuries on my journey.
