Training went good yesterday. Felt good.

Also recently learned (in general) the Wai Kru. I learned from video and it didn't take very long.  I attribute that to learning all these Kata. So now I need to get the flow down, and work with Jeff on the specifics.  I'll also need to practice it to the music.  

So glad I've learned it, and now when I fight hopefully I can perform it.

Just when I think that my punching is at a plateau, it reaches another level.  don't get me wrong, i've been happy with how i hit for awhile now and been just trying to add other elements. along the way i've also found more heights. very cool. 


My kicks are getting there, slowly but surely. Hopefully they just 'get it' soon. I'm patient and know it will come.


For the next 6 weeks, I've asked that every Monday to do wrestling with the Karate kids. this will help me in the strength arena.  I need to be doing other stuff too. 


I'll get there....one day at at time.

Training this week went pretty well. Was able to make it to all classes, and worked hard.  Feeling pretty good. 

5 months remaining

Saturday, I put in some work. Was still incredibly sore from Thurs, so I didn't go too crazy. Yesterday, took the day off.

I'm signed up to receive emails on coupons, deals, etc.  So last week I got myself a two week pass at a local gym for $20. Super awesome deal. My plan is to take advantage of it when school is done.

Hoping to put in some good work this week.

Well the last couple of weeks at work have been pretty much chaos.  This week, I was still able to go hit stuff which was nice. Tues I got a compliment I have LONGED to hear....that I LOOK "Muay Thai".  That is great, I'm working with a new person so that is what I focused on - form.   Last night, I made myself proud with the Thai Pads. They are MUCH thicker than focus mitts, and I've been doing just ok with them until yesterday. I couldn't believe how well I did. 


Good stuff.

Yesterday was for the most part - crappy. As was today. Though class went well, my work out was just crappy.   Today, after not getting much sleep, I had to work. I feel worn out from work - ug.

Saw this poster...and it helped me remember that this weekend isn't how its always going to be.

---------------------------

I promise:

I will keep eating right

I will remember this is MY DREAM

I will continue to work hard

I will keep SMILING

I will wake up every morning DETERMINED to go to be with satisfactin

I will drink more WATER

I will push harder

I will NOT give up. Ever.

----------------

Pretty good words to remember.

So much for working hard...well I was just at work with an insane deadline. Grrr.

Today I'll be covering for Jeff as he's off to RI for a training weekend.

Only have to teach two, the rest of the time I am going to work out like a banshee. 

Probably going to have to go into work again tomorrow (Sun) to get ahead of the curve.  So definitely going to enjoy today as much as I can.
