Training...and Training

So I've been doing LOTS of training.  Lots of rounds, ramping it up.  It looks like I might have a match up coming down the pipe. It's really happening.

46 days. Holy crap.

This week I found out a fellow student can't make it anymore due to work. Bummer, especially since I was going to ask her to be my second for cornering.  It's ok though.

I've gotten really close to fellow partner, and fighter. He's so young, and he's really working hard. Hope they find him a match too. When we first were talking about fighting I said he's kinda like a brother...and boy its sure shaping up to feel that way.

Two things I started this week, heaver gloves and eating protein snacks every hour. Oy I actually feel full most of the time. So far so good. Almost at my goal weight. (few pounds away)

Work has been really busy. So busy I've made mistakes. It really bums me out when I do such things.  One particular project, working with a new PM, they don't know my work ethic or how rare it is for me to mess up. Its just disheartening.

Trying to let it go as its almost 11 at night and I need to get sleep.

Tomorrow is another day.

Its in the Mail

Just filled out the check to register to fight. It will be in the mail tomorrow.
Lots of potential fighters I'm seeing now with a big range.  Trying not to over think it.

Still training while working long days, body is tired. Last night did 5 hard rounds before class...oof!
Mind is tired.

Only 52 days left. I can NOT think of anything else I want more.

Less than 8

Time is FLYING.  Hope I am doing enough. Working hard but also trying to rest...

Had a good week of working hard and trying to get stronger. We had new people in class on thurs and I am hoping they sign up.  That would be so great.

There is so much on my list to do, and  though I am wading though the fires, never seem to get it all done.

I also can't stop thinking about training this goal.  Its almost consuming me at times.  

Preparing myself for a busy week. Helping out another team on their deadline, and dead set on not missing any training.  My own projects are in a lull and I'm hoping they stay that way at least for this week so I can be as much help as possible for the other team.

61 Days

So another person has commented they had a girl in my weight class that was interested in fighting.  They are... a NINJA.  

Did a fairly good workout Saturday, and tried to work hard given the soreness.  Most of it is gone, but still sore.  Tried to keep finding things that my body needs, and its been helping.

Emailed 'the doc' for a tune up.  Waiting to set up the first one, then probably will visit again just before the fight.

There is a lot of personal stuff flying around, leaving me both entirely emotional and emotionless.  Just got to keep focused on this goal no matter what.

All of this...for 6 minutes.

Rollercoaster

Rollercoaster of emotions as we approach T-9 weeks.  Last night the promoter was asking his people if they know if matchups for Max and I. Some dude said he might have a girl quotes as "tuff cheerleader".  As per my habits, I was googling them lightning fast.  Nothing is definite yet, but word is spreading people are talking.  

Training went ok last night, just went in and did my work. Nothing too crazy.  For some reason I am not yet fully recovered...trying to eat and drink different things to see what my body needs.

At the end of the day, I think its sleep and less stress.  Gee who would have thought?

Fighterhood

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?
