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.

Getting It Done Even if It's Late... Sunday, August 17

Sometimes when I'm not feeling so peachy keen and need a pick-me-upper, I blast Christmas carols.

I don't know what it is about Christmas carols but they always seem to cheer me up.  Perhaps it's because they're about simple things, like family and wishes, and not complicated with he-said-she-said drama-filled lyrics.  Christmas carols are always happy.

Today I blasted Christmas carols.

I didn't have a good weigh-in and Snickers wasn't able to spar with me, so the two brought about frustrations and disappointment.  My weigh-in wasn't necessarily bad, it just wasn't an improvement from last week's and for the last two weeks my weigh-in figures have been getting better and better so I was expecting a continuation with this week's results.  It wasn't the case though. 

I didn't really do much today.  Meet up with some friends for morning coffee, got some laundry done, watched a movie with Snickers (attempt #2 to not fall asleep through the new Spiderman movie), and then I spent a good chunk of the evening working on the club books and PT documents.  Oh, and I had that disappointing weigh-in too.

[Enter me reminding myself point #8 from yesterday's posting "Tips on Staying Motivated and Focused on Health".  Don't be so hard on yourself -- expect setbacks but learn from them.]

Today's weigh-in wasn't really a setback but I realized I was being hard on myself when I refused to show Snickers my weigh-in printed results and he had to snoop out where I had hid the paper.  When Snickers left for the evening, to meet up with some of his friends, I took it upon myself to test out the new HIIT treadmill training routine I had typed up and taped on the treadmills for our Hulkies to try out.  Pretty good.  Yes, definitely pretty good I must say.  That HIIT workout was long but it kicked my butt.  

I had told myself that I was going to bounce back from today's weigh-in and do it today, hence the workout that started at midnight.  I'm a procrastinator, I know, but I'm pretty good in that despite being a procrastinator that I stay true to getting things done that I say I'll get done, even if it means doing them at silly, stupid hours.
