רּ (rĕsh)

I’m sleepy and am ready to hit the sack but alas, I have to wait for my washing to freaking finish its cycle so I can hang it out. Just to let you know in advance, this is going to be another pointless entry as I’m just trying to kill time.

It’s been a hectic week and I’m actually glad that it’s over. Work’s been gruelling as ppl have been coming in eager to do something this Winter. I’ve had to up the ante on my training regiment as I’ve just joined a kickboxing lee gar and am hoping to compete in the next couple of months.

Obstacle 1: Base fitness..scur?!
It’s been nothing but endless skipping and road running. My coach insists that I run with the group but it’s quite intimidating when you’re the only girl in the pack. Oh yeah and waking up to run at 6am when you start work at 1 in the arvo is out of the question as well. I need my sleep and the idea of cutting a couple of hours whilst trying to not look like a pufferfish while your lungs are burning as you run doesn’t seem appealing at all.

Obstacle 2: Killer Legs.
David said that I might as well say goodbye to my pretty shins. The last 2 weeks, they’ve been sporting big bruises as I’ve started sparring. John (my other coach) said he wants me to toughen them up and so it’s back to kicking the damn bags. As a result, if you were to run your fingers down my shin bone, you’ll find that they’re quite jagged and yucky.

Obstacle 3: Egg whites, egg whites and more egg whites.
Well I can’t really complain in this dept as I’ve gotten used to them but I need to drop 8 more kgs to be eligible to fight in the 50kg weight range. As far as nutrition goes, I’ve said goodbye to poptarts, alcohol, chocolates, bread, pasta, fast food, anything nice that makes the world go round. It’s been nothing but veggies, skinless chicken and egg whites.

Truth be told, I’m not really complaining. It’s the biggest health kick ever I’ve been on and to see results so quickly, it’s quite nice really. I’ve leaned out heaps. My bodyfat percentage is now in the early 20s and I’m hoping for it to drop more towards the 13-16% mark. 

But why all the punishment you ask?

Well personally, lippy lil me is curious to know whether my bite would be as bad as my  bark and the only way I can (legally) know, is in the ring.

So watch this space. I’ll update you guys as training progresses. I’m just a tad worried I might be taking too many projects on as my external dance course commences this week too. The last thing I wanna do is injure myself. My right rotator cuff is already being shitty with me.

Aiights. Outs. Bedtime calls. My clothes have been hung and I’ve got an early weights and hour long running session to look forward to before work so nights y’all!
