I am back at Tae Kwon Do again 
For those of you that do not know I was sidelined a year ago due to really high blood pressure (205/155). I saw my cardiologist yesterday and he said that everything was OK with my heart and I can start training again. In fact, I am starting to come off of some medications because my blood pressure is a little low. I need the exercise even more now, I became diabetic (type 2) about a month ago. On the bright side, I lost 20 Lbs and I can do jumping kicks better now.
For the past year I have been doing forms and some kicking in our basement. As a consequence of this I know a couple of forms above my belt level which might come in handy one day.
My first class in a year was last night, it was tiring but good. I am glad to be back.
