Karate grading

12 December 2005 by kristarella

Wooh… after not being at karate for one week my husband came home with a grading slip from the Sensei to send me to the last grading of the year. I was so sick; I hoped I would be better for Sunday. So, yesterday came along and at times I wasn’t sure I’d make the […]

Christmas traditions

8 December 2005 by kristarella

The Christmas Tree Most think that the Christmas tree originated in Germany earlier than the 17th Century. This tree is possibly a descendant of the Paradise tree, which was used in the Paradise play, which was performed as a reminder of Adam and Eve’s fall from Eden and the promise that humans would one day […]

Christmas

8 December 2005 by kristarella

Today I went to the doctor about my cough and my ear. They were very busy, they wanted me to come back at 2 (and hour and a half away) and when I came back then I waited for another half hour. In the intervening time I tried to do a bit of Christmas shopping […]

so tired…

7 December 2005 by kristarella

I’m so tired this afternoon. I nearly fell asleep at work sitting, watching the chemical I was dissolving. I suppose it’s not so surprising that I would fall asleep doing that, since it is akin to watching paint dry, but honestly it doesn’t take that long. Today is so hot! They say that this is […]

TQS

5 December 2005 by kristarella

Cool thing that happened today – I found this nifty program that makes hangman games and quizzes of anything you can think of. The only catch is you have to write it in XML, which I must admit I’m not proficient in. It is fairly swanky though, writing it out like that probably took less […]

130 today, combination of pushups and squats. I tr 130 today, combination of pushups and squats. I tried to do some pushups that targeted chest muscles rather than shoulders... I think I succeeded.Relationships are hard. We are all flawed beings who often struggle to understand ourselves, let alone others. Relationship breakdowns are really hard, I definitely see how mental health can plummet in times like that. Reach out for help if you need it!

Not gonna lie, I don't really understand today's s Not gonna lie, I don't really understand today's stat... It's to do with sustainability and how more people are getting eco anxiety, but I really don't know what it means that we're using 1.6 earths every year. I guess it's some combination of overusing resources and over-producing waste, but under that multiplier I'm not sure how we're not living like WALL-E already 🤔
I did 120 pushups and 40 squats today.

Silver medal 🥈 in the kumite tournament today! Silver medal 🥈 in the kumite tournament today! I entered with very little expectations on myself other than to meet the challenge, and not only did I do that, but I scored an ippon (full point rather than half point – only a few techniques qualify)!Watching the video, I find the way my legs and feet move quite bizarre 😆 something to work on another day.Thanks everyone for making it a great day!#gkrkarate #karate #kumite
Day 3 #pushforbetter 175 push-ups for the 17.5% o Day 3 #pushforbetter
175 push-ups for the 17.5% of Aussies who saw a mental health professional last year.
While 175 was quite enough for me today, 17.5% is pretty low given the number of people with mental illness, and the fact that these professionals can also help you through grief, hardship, relationship issues... Things other than mental illness that everyone will probably face at some point. It's okay to ask for help!
