Kickboxing (aka Ass Whoopin')

I had my first kickboxing tonight. It was so hard - harder than anything else I've ever done in my life. Even harder than delivering Miss Mayhem!


It's at an MMA studio, so it's a lot tougher than a cardio kickboxing class that you'd take at a gym. It's taught by MMA fighters/instructors and they kick your arse for an hour straight! Boxing gloves, pads and everything!


I almost quit halfway through the class - it was that hard. But I took a few minutes to give myself a pep talk and catch my breath and went back to it. I had to keep taking quick breaks, but I kept going and finished the class by doing push-ups!


I have 9 classes left (I bought a 10-class Groupon). Old Lindsay would just quit and say it's too hard. But I'm making a commitment to myself - and telling you guys so that I have someone to hold me accountable - that I'm going to finish the rest of the classes! 


2012 is The Year of Lindsay and this is one of the things I'm committed to doing this year!

Spoon... SPOON!

Today's Walk:
Time: 28:58 min
Distance: 1.20 miles
Calories Burned: 154



Today's walk wasn't so exciting. I took longer than I should have and my foot started hurting - nothing major... just that "you haven't used me in a while" pain.


Lots of time to think today. Lots of time to remember. Lots of time to sweat :-)


Things I saw today:
