Feeling all kinds of banged up last few days. Nothing too bad, just pooped, sore, and slightly exhausted. Its all part of the fun, and I know that it will pass.
Still went to class last night and just hit the bag, then worked on mitts. Crazy enough, found another level of power in a short range punch. Who knew?

Ramping up, trimming down
So, my weight goal is 135-140. I started to weigh myself daily to hold myself accountable. Starting out, I was 146 (almost 147). I know I have 7 pounds to loose (maybe more). Not just that I care so much about the scale, but also my pants - and more importantly my fight shorts- are tight. As of this morning I am 144.
Already I am almost in range, with a little more than 10 weeks to go. The weight will come off as I am doing cardio. If I can swing it, I'd like to be 140, less fat more muscle than I have now.
Last night, training was good. Got myself a fist pump for smashing the Thai pads. Max and I did 3 rounds each before class, then 4 rounds in class. The fourth round was more technique oriented, so I tried to give it my all for three rounds. Jeff will be amping up the rounds, length of rounds, and then ramping it back down to what we will see on fight day. Sounds like a great idea.
In other news I told Jeff teacher about my fight. The guy who helped with my health and such. He asked if he could watch, gave me LOTS of compliments and some advice. Such an honor to hear (or see rather) those words. Hopefully, he is there.
Next week, I will be asking my fellow training partner, Nicole to be my number 2 corner. Very exciting stuff.
Work is busy, earlier this week there was a rumor more work is coming down the pipe but I haven't seen it yet. So for now its normal working hours, and time for me to train. Going to try to keep this balance as consistently as I can.

Undercover
Last week, Jeff contacted NY about their event Oct. 13. Subsequently I temporarily disband FB until after the event. Not sure if we are still going to try for Sept. 29 or not. This makes my goal just a little more real, though I still feel its just a dream.
Training has been pretty good. Sat. worked hard in class, and did well in sparring. Every class it seems I get a compliment that one or two aspects are improving. While other aspects are maintaining. Think that is pretty darn good, and a goal to keep in mind.
This morning, I did a morning workout even though I was and am incredibly sore. 45 minutes, was hard.
Which tells me I need it.

99! Double Digits Baby!
Ok. So, again I was sore and pooped for a morning workout. Not good. In talking with Jeff if I should go tonight, he said its ok to take the night off. Especially in that I'll be doing lots tomorrow per a typical Sat.
Sunday I am going to be doing something VERY different. I am going to be doing a Vintage Photo Shoot. It is my birthday present, and I am very excited. Hoping that it goes well and the pictures turn out how I imagine them in my head.
Yesterday was a good workout. The new girl seems to like it, and Jeff held mitts for me so I was able to unleash.
Good stuff

oopsy. meant to do my second workout last night and fell asleep til it was time to make dinner. then i couldn't sleep which meant i missed my morning workout cause i slept in late. boo. seems like my body needed it. i am sore for the extra workouts - and tuesday i worked HARD.
we had a new lady try class on tuesday - she seemed to like it. hopefully she comes back today. it was cool having 50/50 men/women there and a decent size group.
