Made it to my (woo-hoo!) second karate class tonight, having cunningly arranged to be out of town on business last week. Rather than a small group of 8, it was more like 22, which made the dance studio it’s done in at the rec center a bit crowded. Still, everyone was friendly to the only white belt there (me), and I still remembered most of my kata from last time, and did halfway decently on the various moves and exercises, so I felt pretty good about it.
If I survive the third class on Thursday, I’ll treat myself to actually buying a gi, rather than doing it in sweats-and-a-t-shirt.
On a parallel note, though I didn’t lose any weight whilst off on my business trip, I actually managed to hold steady at 199, so woot for me!
