I never thought I'd reach third dan (it was sprung on at a seminar recently--no test involved though I did have to do a demo on O'Sensei's memorial day.) I am so with you on the losing twenty pounds bit. Oddly enough, my knees are improving with regular practice, though. Ditto stamina though I've had a low-grade something lately that's draining the energy a bit.
I'm grateful though, everyone else in the family has been sick as a dog.
