As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Itching To Get Back to Work!!!... Monday, September 2

Today marks the third month anniversary of Hulk's and I am stuck at home sick.

Today was also supposed to mark the first day of this month's challenge at Hulk's but I'm sick, home stuck in bed, and so the challenge has to wait.

This is not fun. I rather be working!!!  Even if I wasn't sick I rather be working.

We have our security cameras hooked up to a phone app that I can easily tap into, enter my code and watch, so that's what I did today.  I envied everyone I saw training and wondered if they asked where I was.  Snickers can handle the club on his own, no problem, but I always take care of the finer details, like membership weigh-ins and keeping track of who paid and whatnot.  I knew he wouldn't remember to change the date on the Coach's Corner board like I told him nor would he be able to open the sign-up file, change the dates and print them for posting.  His English reading is still poor so I've trying my hardest to make all the club files bilingual.  


I'm losing weight left, right and center and I don't like it because I know it's muscle I am losing. I am anticipating disappointment with this week's weigh-in but I suppose it will only fuel me on to get back on track and really kick it up a couple of notches when I do get back from being sick.


I am on doctor's orders not to eat anything but the meds. I have totally lost my appetite, the smell of food makes me sick and whenever I try to bring myself to eat anything I end up giving it to my four-legged babies.  My daily routine very much remains poop, sleep, repeat. 

Despite my lack of appetite, I have started to crave spaghetti and not just any kind of spaghetti but tomato spaghetti with huge chunks of tomatoes, lots of veggies and extra sauce.  Clearly my body's need for starchy carbs is crying out here because I don't particularly like spaghetti.
