Note the silliness of my list of things to do! It's my way of keeping myself busy and keeping myself from either sleeping the hours away or spending my hours in a daze, consumed with thoughts of Snickers. I've even resorted to pre-setting my alarm clock so that it rings to remind me to eat. I am just not myself lately.Thursday, November 04, 2010

Hey Amy,
I love the way you make a list of things to get accomplished through your day. I have to do that but I am a great procrastinator. I noticed the running and boxing. I noticed the jab-hook and uppercut in quotes. Those are great things to work on. I’m glad I have you to bounce off ideas and get your encouragement.
Speaking of marathons New York had theirs yesterday. It was nice out but windy.
I hope Mi Nam knocks when you are in the shower. Heh heh. He is so cute. :)
I started a while ago doing some weight training with my boxing but haven’t lately. I love that one flex clip you made and some of the pictures of you flexing are great. Your arms are just what I’d love to see with mine. I have one of your pictures as a screensaver to remind me to work the arms. The flex clip is great and funny too.
Shauna is really a great opponent for me being the same size and all. I’ve learned a lot from her and do take everything in stride if she starts working me over a bit. She does take advantage of my lack of speed and she has a plethora of hooks and jabs. She tells me I think too much when sparring instead of putting the things I know together and using them. Boxing is like a chess match but of course it’s physical. I’m glad you still have the passion for it also Amy. Thanks for all your advice too.

Hey Beth,
Hahaha.. thanks. My list of things-to-do is a bit anal but it keeps me focused and helps kill the distraction of wasting time.
Ya, I've been doing so much daily running and boxing, though I usually give myself a good day off running after a long 21km run. I'm consistant with my boxing, getting into the club 5 solid days a week.
Mi Nam knock?! With Snickers gone he's totally in this "I'm-the-man-of-the-house" mentality so he does what ever he pleases... or so I let him think he can do.
So you've added some weight training to your boxing, great. I really should do a homepage entry for you about what exercises/routines I do. I only do about 20-30 minutes of it after boxing and sometimes I do it in the morning, like push-ups in the kitchen.
Me... your screensaver?! Hahaha... I am so flattered. Even my husband has never done such a thing so that's hilarious, but very very sweet of you. You definitely added energy to my day with that comment!!!
Shauna has a point, don't think too much. It's awesome that you get lots of sparring in because that's where you get those learned boxing combos and whatnot more ingrained into your system. My biggest lesson learned was in my first fight when I stepped out of the ring after the fight and really had no memory of thinking. I just did. Not sure if I lost you there but what I mean is there's a reason why all the repetative pad work with coach and all the repetative work on the sandbag is key. It all helps to make those combos and defensive tactics more instinctive.
By the way, I have AWESOME news for you but you'll have to wait till I update with Tuesday's entry... hahaha.
