Um, yeah, no.

Quick catch up...mostly because I ended up taking four days off from the gym. It was a mixture of holiday time and my hip giving me the finger.

On Thursday I was let out of Real Job early and headed to the gym. Ended up sparring Mike (another pro to add to my list) since he was early, too. It was fun! I was exhausted for some reason by the time I got the to gym. You could have given me a pillow and I would have napped on the gym floor. Hell, I wouldn't have even needed the pillow. Anyway, he asked me if I had my stuff and then told me to wrap and gear up cause we were gonna do some rounds. Then, since class only consisted of Sonic, Catastrophe and I we ended up sparring for an hour. In total I probably did around 7 rounds with Mike (since I'm not allowed to spar Cat and her and Sonic kept going in with each other).

I took of Friday through Monday off. Monday wasn't intentional but there was a blizzard and my car? Doesn't like the snow, and more specifically my brakes don't. I tried for the most part to not cheat with food, but it was Christmas, things may have happened. I knew I was going to gain because I clearly was not working out. Monday also did not help my hip at all because I had to dig my car out of feet of snow and I kept slipping. Every time I slipped pain would shoot down my leg. It was bad. So bad I ended up canceling my Tuesday morning strength and conditioning with Marcin.

What happens when Tuesday afternoon rolls around? My hip feels fine. I tried running but only lasted a minute. I didn't plan on doing miles or anything, I just wanted to figure out how it was coming along. Yeah, not what I thought. Limping while running was not fun. Then I did class with Marcin but it was only me and Lyns so we ended up just doing a lot of pads.

Today was working with Zach and then class but then no sparring. Sparring Zach isn't easy when you're a short girl like me. The easiest time to hit someone is when they're throwing a punch. Problem is that his arms are so much longer than mine that it's physically impossible for me to touch him. Oh well. It was fun sparring him during my training session. We had mouth guards in but no head gear.

Anyway, I need to talk to Jaime about weight classes for the Gloves (which start next Friday) because 132 is not going to happen. I'm putting so much pressure on myself to hit that goal that it's almost like the pressure is stopping me. Pressure adds 5lbs, didn't you know? Regardless, I feel pretty strong right now with the weight I'm at (not near 132). She should be coming back from Canada soon and she's teaching class on Sunday, so at the latest I can talk to her Sunday. I hope she sees things how I do because I would like to (try) and compete.

We'll see.
