The four emotions I experienced with training today:
Emotion 1: super excited
With my fight being less than a month away, 25 days to be exact, I've been super focused on my boxing training and today I woke up with such excitement over it all. Usually I'm not so eager to train, I mean I train almost everyday and it's hard work, but today one of the pointers Snickers gave me totally clicked in my head and it changed everything.
Emotion 2: extreme exhaustion (mentally, emotionally and physically)
I train everyday, that's very physically exhausting. Snickers is my coach and the fact that he's also my husband doesn't mean he's easy on me. If anything he's harder on me, that's very emotionally exhausting. And as for the mental exhaustion, try going round after round focusing on one combo or one point with hopes that you'll finally stop that bad habit and will create a good habit, that's very mentally exhausting.
Emotion 3: pure shock
I was just about done training with my boxing training Snickers phoned the boxing rep regarding my fight in Laos. He was told the fight will either be cancelled or postponed. When he told me the surprise news, I was shocked, of course. I dropped my hands and just stood there. "You got to be kidding me!" I yelled out. I'm busting my butt with training, cutting mad weight, and am pretty much eating, sleeping, and breathing this upcoming fight.
Emotion 4: total frustration
Despite being exhausted already, I then went for a few more rounds on the sandbag with frustration definitely fuelling those rounds. I was upset, frustrated, angry, and so disappointed. Best case situation is it is just postponed. This means I'll get more time to train but is also means I'll get the chance to enjoy the Christmas AND New Year's Eve holidays without having to excuse myself from the table or miss out on the holiday celebrating with friends. I can accept a postponement but not a cancellation. I just got back into the ring after being out of it for so long and now I'm on a roll. Please let's keep this roll going. I seriously don't want to have to ask KBC for a fight. Am much more interested in fighting outside of this country. I'm so over the drama and politics of Korean boxing, it's too much like it's K-dramas.
