so the new year came and i kept a steady 130 lbs. there goes that damn barrier again. and then april came and i had to travel so much, that i wasn't able to keep my normal consistent workout schedule. i feel so fluffy. but of course, back to the workout schedule.
buttt this time i'm adding a little something to it. for awhile now, i've been doing my weight sessions in the morning and my muay thai sessions at night. and a little while back i added a total body conditioning class on mondays and wednesdays before muay thai.
back to my new goals. weight loss is still a pretty significant goal for me, especially if i want to continue fighting. i need to keep my weight under 130 lbs at least, so the girls i fight are gigantic compared to me lol. but my main goal right now is to basically get ripped! lol but really i want to have a fit body. i want the cuts in my arms and back and of course every where else. not manly, but i want them.
my best friend showed me some girl on ig @katyhearnfit, and i fell in love. lol no really…i found a body that i would like to model myself after. and wouldn't you know it, she provides "challenges" where she gives you an 8 week workout plan. sooooo, i decided to take it on. i started on monday, and am excited to see where it takes me. and with being so off for the month of april, i definitely needed that extra kick. (side note: my day 1 progress picture is horrible and really made me realize how much i needed the extra kick)
fast forward to today. today was a really long workout day for me. 4 sessions in total. crazy? yeah i kindda am. but i'd like to say i'm determined. this morning started out at my work gym, doing my weight training provided by @katyhearnfit. then, i did the total body conditioning class and then muay thai. added to the schedule tonight was jui jitsu.
i've been wanting to try it for a little while now and we now have an all girl class, so why not try. i learned the warm up drills and did a couple of training drills. 3 to be exact and then i got thrown to the wolves. lol i rolled…today…on my first day! lol but how else are you gonna learn. sometimes you just gotta get in there.
i was soooo confused. i didn't even know where to start. i didn't know the secret handshake lol. and i didn't know how to position myself to even begin. they basically told me to try to stay out of her guard. so i tried. she got me in a few times, but i was able to get out a lot. she ended up getting me in a triangle choke at the end of the second round. but, they told me i did really well. and they said i definitely made her work. i honestly think it was b/c i was just stronger than her. or so that's what they also said… that i'm strong.
and earlier while i was learning the warm up drills, coach jay walked in while i was having a hard time with one of them. he said something along the lines of, "its good to see you not perfect at something." lol i took it as a compliment. don't get me wrong, in no way do i think i'm perfect at anything. but i know i do work my ass off to be the best that i can be. and if i don't get it right the first time, i will keep trying to make sure i eventually do.
anyhow, today was pretty challenging. long days and new things in my path. but, i'm definitely excited to see how everything progresses.
wish me luck!
