In two weeks for three months my world as I know it will consist of solely work, working-out and working others out with my personal training.
In two weeks Snickers will be leaving for Japan; he’ll be there for three months.
He’s picked up a temp job that comes with a paycheck that was too hard to pass on by. With it though comes the fact that he’ll be away from home and off on a boat so using our cells or the Internet to stay in contact will be limited to once or twice a month, the odd time his boat docks.
I’ve taken on various tutoring positions, am planning to take on another personal training client, and am aiming to dive full force into my training. All will be my attempts at distracting myself from the harsh reality that I won’t be able to see or even so much hear from Snickers for three long brutal months.
I’ve even gone so far as to plan a weekly grueling training routine for myself, consisting of alternating mornings of 4am HIIT and weight training and the afternoon/evening boxing. Junior Mint knows me well enough to see the intensity in my training about to sky rocket because of the absence of Snickers. I might even clock in some hours managing the club in the morning or head off to weight training with him at the fitness club he attends.
I am but I’m not looking forward to the next three months. I’m obviously not looking forward to it because it means no Snickers but I am in that the distractions I’ve set up for myself to deal with him gone are going to great.
Start date: October 5th, Snickers leaves October 4th.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
How do you do without?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Inside myself is a place where I live all alone and that's where you renew your springs that never dry up.
-- Pearl Buck
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.

Hey Amy,
Good question, "How do you do without?"and I'm sure you mean your husband is going to be away and I'm sure you will miss him. Knowing you you'll stay as busy as ever with your tutoring jobs and with your training. You are an inspiration and I really read your blog as much as I can. Keep up your energy girl. :)

Yo Beth,
Wow, you're on quite the roll here, commenting on almost all my posts, thanks!!!
Thanks for the props and words of encouragement... yet again! It's surely going to be very hard adjusting to Snickers being away for three months. These days I've caught myself just starring at him, wishing I could freeze time. I know that sounds cheesy but he's so much more to me than a husband. Living in a different country other than my home country means that the few dear you hold close to you become all that more closer and they take on multiple roles.
This is where I'm so happy to have my boxing and training to preoccupy my time with. I've got a new personal training client so I'm very much deep into that situation. Am hoping my coach schedules me another fight. I need another fight!
Hi Fabi... Italy,
Thanks for all the energy! Actually I think it arrived today when I woke up and had absolutely nothing on my schedule of things to do, so thanks! Am heading out the door soon to go training despite it being closed. Gotta use your energy! Keep it coming!!!
