My husband is doing p90x and while he’s not following the diet, it’s definitely working. I’d LOVE to be able to do p90x, I’m like you in that I like the instant gratification, and also, you see my dilemma with two small kids and time.

Anyway, one of my sister’s friends is a beach body coach and I can attest to it working if you put the commitment into it. Granted, she’s a little over the top about it, but she’s very ripped.

Thanks! You know, that might be what happened. I was relying too much on muscle memory and just kind of zoned out while starting it. I was supposed to do a kick, then punch-punch and totally missed the kick. Kind of an obvious mistake.

Congratulations – even if conditional. You’ve worked hard for this.

I also screwed up my very favorite kata at my black belt test – substituted nukite (knife hands) for an empi (elbow strike). I think because it is my favorite kata, I wasn’t as obsessive about practicing it as the kata I was worried about.

I don’t really like being in limbo, myself. I’m sure you’ll do a great job over the next month, but that’s a long time to have that hanging over your head. I’m in a similar situation with my 2nd dan in Hapkido.

Coincidentally, in my 3rd dan exam a few weeks back, I screwed up Tae Geuk Sam Jang myself. The 5th/6th movements I think I did inside blocks instead of inside knife hands (though I didn’t restart it). But I do love that form, too, such powerful movements.

Preliminary congrats!

Oh, go ahead and bask in the glory! But I think I know how you feel – I would probably feel the same way. Congrats!

My advice for a 38 year old former couch potato is just be grateful you’re not an almost 45 year old!
