Im feeling so much better than I was yesturday!! So much better!!! So last night I went to this new gym that specializes in boxing and kickboxing. I was intrested because I love boxing, and at LA Fitness they offer it but like I said its not challenging enough and its more aerobic than anything. So I went to go and check out this gym, now before I keep going im going to tell you that this gym is a small gym it has a (ring), boxing corner, maybe 10 workout machines and the rest weights. So its not a huge gym. However when I walked right in I felt something that I didn't feel with LA Fitness. I know this sounds weird, but I felt more welcome, like a comfort.
Its owned by two wonderful people and they talked to me for about an hour about everything, not just the gym! So I took the boxing class, before I took the class however, I had to learn how to protect my hands with wraps, and how to properly hit. Im sad to say I wasn't taught this at the other gym. It was an amazing feeling putting on my gloves!
Class started and it was brutal, there were only about 12 people in the class, and the instructor has been boxing for 11 years and has been in many competitions. So he kicked my butt. When it came to AB work, we were using medicine balls (10lbs) and I wanted to stop, well he made me do five more! Learned my lesson! I pushed through the whole class, and afterwards I felt this huge weight lifted off from me. I was happy, not stressed out and I was like this the whole night and still today! Im so glad I found something that is going to help me.
I think that sometimes change is needed in any journey we go through. I think this change is for the better. I have to take things one step at a time, nothing is going to be easy, but im ready for anything!
Thank you everyone for all the reassuring me in the time I needed it the most! Thank you! Im so glad to have all of you, and I couldn't ask for anything better!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday!!!

Wow - looks like we've got a Million Dollar Baby in the making! I am thrilled to hear you've gotten out of your temporary funk. Keep challenging yourself and you won't get bored. I'm so proud of you!!!
hear that you are feeling better today! I believe someone on an earlier post said something like, now that you're pretty much at goal now what? I think you might have been feeling a little bit overwhelmed about all the weight loss. It's like ok, I've lost the weight now what? I think the boxing class is wonderful! It gets you out and moving and gives you a new challenge to work towards, plus you are meeting new people. We are all in your boxing corner, we'll be here for ya when the bell rings! Hope you are having a terrific Tuesday!!!
You truly are an inspiration to all of us. I love your go-gettem attitude in trying new things. This gym sounds like a great place for personal attention. You go girl!! As for me, I'm at the beginning stages when it comes to working out. But seeing your results really motivates me. Thanks - Have a good rest of the week.
You truly are an inspiration, I agree!! Keep up the excellent momentum you have... I went to a kickboxing class like that here in Houston at a place Bushi Ban and I was sore in muscles I never knew existed, but I felt so good afterwards.... I know exactly what you mean!
Glad you like the kickboxing class and I'm happy to hear that you're feeling much better. It looked like you needed a change and this kickboxing is just what you needed. I look forward to hear more about this kickboxing class. You make it sound like it's a lot of fun. :)
She is new hot young & ready to kick some serious butt ! She is my friend & I am so proud to say that today ! I am so glad you are feeling better you are so right change is good in anything even in our everyday lives if e don't throw ourselves a curve every now & then we will get stuck in a rutt like a truck stuck in mud & we just start spinning our wheels but to no avail ! The harder we try the deeper we get stuck in the mud so we have to strategize & get out & put something under our tire to give it something to grab a hold on to & then it comes crawling up out of the muck & mire & that is why God allows us to have friends because lots of times he uses those friends of ours to get us out of that rut were stuck in !
Girl I am glad you made it out & just want to let you know that I am here for you ! & I love you !
I'm glad you got a laugh in over my water issue! ;)
Thanks for the compliment, and I'm glad you enjoy reading my blog.
The boxing class sounds awesome! I love trying new things. I bought a punching bag recently and I love to put the gloves on and box. I need to find a class near me. Sounds like fun.
This is just what you needed! :) It sounds like you're going to get a fantastic workout and be able to push yourself and it's a different type of workout than you're used to, so I BET that you're going to tone places that you didn't even know you could tone. :)
I'm so proud of you! I think it's fantastic that you're stepping outside your comfort zone and taking the step to join this gym and then walking in the door and finding out that THIS place feels so right! :)
If only we could all take your initiative. :) I'm glad you're feeling better.
Learned my lesson! I pushed through the whole class, and afterwards I felt this huge weight lifted off from me. I was happy, not stressed out and I was like this the whole night and still today! Im so glad I found something that is going to help me.
