Life just got a whole lot busier with new members signing up daily and members consistently coming to train hard and to be pushed with their training. We really try to take a personal approach with our training here, it's almost like we're personal training every one of them because many of them wait for our instructions on what to do and how to train. And with just Snickers and I training them, it meant we juggled a lot of different levels and different kinds of training -- boxing, crossfit, weight training, stretching, etc. Most of our Korean members train almost every single day. Today there were a couple of hours, right after Crossfit Circuit classes and boxercise, where I counted 17 members training.
I find we're no longer trying to cut corners with saving money on getting the club up and running but now we're really trying to cut corners with our time. We're just as busy now as we were before we were opened, it's crazy. Our mornings are usually spent discussing bill payments, things we have to do and whatnot, and then we run around an hour or two before work, doing errands for the club. Then there is of course the time we're actually at work -- 2pm to midnight -- and then usually, 4 out of 5 times, work doesn't finish at closing time. Many times we head out for a late dinner with members or have personal training meetings with particular members who have night-hawk hours like us. We usually get home around 2pm and are in bed around 3pm. Waking up to repeat this all over again means trying cleaning the house gets somewhat ignored. It also has brought me to a point where I grudge having to do my hair. I shower at night before bed and that's pretty much all I do to it maintenance wise, well beyond braiding it for work or throwing it in a ponytail. Braids and ponytails are taking its toll on my hair and I really see no point in having long hair if it's only to put it up. Snickers says he loves my long hair but when do I really ever wear it down?! To bed, that's it. I wore it down maybe three times this past month, one of which me wearing my hair down was greeted by confused looks by members at Hulk's. One member asked if I was working that day, another said I looked pretty with long hair, and another said I looked like a "real girl". Nice. Three responses and they're all somewhat strange and deranged.
I want to chop my hair... correction, I need to chop my hair.
I'm bored with long hair. It serves no purpose beyond the off chance that I might want to look like a "real girl" for a night out but when do I really go out?! Never, exactly. Now if I were to get my hair braided like I do for my fights, that would be a different story, but even then the braids usually only last about half a week and it's time consuming to get it done. Plus, I know how difficult it is to find a Korean hair designer who actually knows how to do braid so that's another problem.
Snickers says I'm pretty "no matter what -- hair yes, hair no" and as sweet as I think he is for saying that, I still want to him to look at me and think "dang, my wife is hot". My biggest fear is that perhaps my face isn't feminine enough to pull off such a short cut. I can deal with showing the ink I sport on the back of my neck but I don't want to look like a "Chinese boy", like one of my homepage readers claimed I already look like.
To chop or not chop, that is the question and I plan on answering this by the end of the week.
