Nothing quite makes you feel so incredibly appreciated and so absolutely F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S than being called and told a restaurant had closed early for the evening and their chefs were preparing a special dinner just for you. I've never felt so excited to attend a dinner; it was so cool.
Our late night Sushi Crew were eagerly preparing Snickers and I a special meal so after all our members had finished their training we closed up the club and headed out. We arrived to their restaurant and when we stepped inside it was as if the king and queen had arrived; they greeted us by standing up and cheering our arrival. It was such a grand entrance. They just awesome guys like that.
Yesterday had been a very stressful day and it had ended with these guys, our Sushi Crew, coming in for late night training. One by one they asked me if we had just cleaned the club but no we hadn't. Instead, we had just went through a day of hell and stress with that dang water problem. And what they had mistook as washed mirrors and one washed floor was actually condensation and excessive moisture from the rooftop leak. I appreciated them joking around with me about it but they could see we were stressed about it, more so me than Snickers. They had told us last week that they wanted to one day cook us a meal but I think perhaps yesterday's water problem pushed the date sooner and we surely appreciated it. It was exactly what we needed and I felt so incredibly refreshed and energized from the special occasion.
Over a couple of tables packed with food, we chatted about boxing and I was labelled as "Korea's upcoming champion", the "boxer to watch" -- no pressure there. Snickers really has it in his mind that he's going to make me the next Korean champion. He has been training me hard and it's definitely been proving effective. It's been really hard to continually chew on a big piece of humble pie with every training session but thankfully the pieces have been getting smaller and smaller. Things have really started to click and it's been worth all the frustration. In the past week I have really focused in on my boxing and have pushed my running to the back burner. I had weigh-in today my results were as follows:
1 week = -4kg in body fat and +1kg in muscle
Hell ya I'm going to put it in bold. I bust my butt off, literally, and am proud. I pulled these numbers and got these results in just one week. It surely is a true testimony to just how hard I'm boxing these days and how attentive I've been with my clean eating. I actually train less than I did prior to just these past two weeks but the results have been more than triple, proving that it's all about quality and not quantity when it comes to training. Well that and you simply can't out train a bad diet.
Revealing my results to the guys who sat at the table with me, knowing that they've seen how hard I train and now seeing just how much I eat, they were impressed. I'm pretty sure I sense a potential sponsor coming on from this particular restaurant, especially considering how impressed with how much I ate and what in particular I chose to ate. I loaded up on lots of veggies, got in my protein, and drank about 2 liters of water within an hour. "You train like man. You eat like man but you all woman", one Hulkie noted. Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment. I don't think I train hard like a man because I don't consider myself strong for a woman. I hate the whole "for a woman" part. I prefer to just think of myself as strong for my size, not my gender.
