During the month of January, Joey's taekwondo school hosted
Biggest Loser contest for the parents of students.
The parents could attend the adult classes for the month of January for free and then at the end of the month, the parent that had lost the most weight would get a year of classes for free.
Peter has wanted to take classes for quite awhile and this seemed like the ideal opportunity to give it a try.
The classes were good. There was one class on a Thursday night that consisted of a great deal of calf work and Peter walked with a limp the whole weekend.
The point is that he won! He lost 20 pounds over the course of the month. He showed really good self control and endured two separate weeks of the cabbage soup diet.
The kids were very excited for him and very encouraging, especially Arabella.
Now Peter has his own white uniform and casual shirt (shown above- he chose the pink one).
He has also worked hard on learning all of the white belt requirements so that he could test tonight for his next belt. It will be a great night because Joey is testing again for his second degree black belt. Joey has overcome his fear of wooden boards and broke all three on his first try at practice tonight. He will do great because he knows he can!
I am proud of Peter and look forward to the time I can exercise and workout alongside him for now I will continue to enjoy dessert and snacks!

Way to go, Peter! I need to lose another 10-15 pounds, but the cabbage soup diet doesn't sound like a fun way to go. ;)
That's awesome! Good work all around.
Way to go Edweenie!!!! That is a LOT of weight off in one month. I am sure that was hard work but keep it up and have so much fun in your classes!! What a fun thing for you and Joey to share together!!
