Kicking Off the New Year

Brent and I  I kicked off the New Year early last week by attending taekwondo winter boot camp.  Yeah…pun intended.

For 4 days, Brent and I kicked and punched alongside each other.

Each day we did 45-60 minutes of cardio and strength, 45-60 minutes of kicking, 45-60 minutes of sparring and sparring drills, and 45 minutes of either forms, board breaking, or games.

I. Was. Sore.

Nothing says love like a swift kick to the head followed by a kiss.

Is this a scary face or what!

Helmet hair.

The couple that kicks together sticks together.

It was good and just the kickstart (those silly puns) I need to get back on track this year as I gained a few pounds over the holidays.  Nothing to be upset over but I have no intention of letting them sit there and accumulate.  Been there and done that.  No thanks.  Besides I can’t afford new jeans right now so it’s back to life and back to reality which means no more 2nd and 3rd servings unless I’m truly hungry.

Speaking of kicking off the new year we hung out with some of our taekwondo friends on New Years.   The best part is how everyone is casually calling each other Mr. and Mrs. (or Miss or Ms.) out of habit.

What did you do for New Years?

Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn

I'm so happy you stopped by my little corner of the web where I write about fitness, food, and amazing women I "meet". I live in California with my wonderful husband and two rambunctious boys. I'm a personal trainer and dreamer. I enjoy most things but some of my favorites are reading, acting, camping, cooking, music, writing, traveling, and being in the moment with my favorite people! You can read more about me here! I hope you stop by often!

    Too funny – I think my cheapness is what motivates me to stay on track with my jeans fitting. I can’t afford a new wardrobe!

    Love your splits!!! Our New Year’s Eve was filled with acrimony (I swear we get in a fight every single New Year’s Eve – it’s like our tradition, a very lame tradition at that.) and karaoke (which I LOVE!). Overall a good night:)

    I cant do the splits and I’m a yoga instructor! I blame my treadmill addicted years in my eating disorder that left me with short and tight muscles! I cant even touch my toes!
    On new years, I slept. soundly.

    Yes, the splits are very impressive… maybe I should make that my new years resolution.

    Couple workouts are the best! I seriously love doing any kind of sport along side my husband.

    Glad your fitness routine is off to a great start! I am sure that feels great. :)

    New Years was very quiet and cold in central Iowa at a wedding.

    We watched more fireworks than I’ll ever see in the rest of my life- on a peninsula in Reykjavik. It was impossible to describe.
