the first day back blues

BACK TO WORK!!!
It's never easy settling back into a routine especially when you've spent the last 10 days throwing it out the window.  But I made it--hooray for small miracles--though I would be lying if I said I didn't sprint to the car and speed all the way home.

RELEASE..........
After my 20 minute power nap, I was able to get ready for class, and punch stuff. Ahhhhh, how I love when exercise is disguised by good clean fun.  Even though I could do without the jump rope whacking on my cold toes---oooh the burnnnnnn...

Today we worked on defense combos, which always feel awesome, awesome, awesome.  I love when you can work through a combo enough times to get to a confident place. I have such a great feeling about this year and getting mad Muay Thai skills.  After watching the fight on New Years, I was rudely snapped into the reality of the size of goal I've made for myself.
1 step at a time, the mountain will be climbed.

Since my goal is spread throughout a 2 year time period, I just need to set steps and work towards them. My biggest goal is to start sparing on a regular basis.  In the space that we occupy right now, its not an option.  However--the exciting part of all of this--is my teacher has accomplished a goal of her own and her dream of opening up her own gym has come true.  With the new gym comes more classes and options.  Truly lovely how the universe connects.  Meanwhile, as I pull my floating body back down to earth, this girl needs to work on her low kicks and push-ups.
Oh lorddyyyyyy, the push-up.
My enemy, my foe, my nemesis.
I refuse to spend another year starting out strong then having to drop to my knees mid circuit, its time to do it proper---like a big girl.

MEANWHILE BACK AT THE RANCH:
After class, I made some kick ass pork fried rice, added every veggie I could find in the place, and spiced it up until my nose ran.  It was awesome to have a moment, chomp on deliciousness, and zone out on "Doctor Who".  

Now at 11pm my hips ache, the legs are restless, and my mind wants to pass out.  I'm hoping that in the next 15 minutes, we all get on the same page.
Over and out..............
