Weigh in Wednesday

Today is the best day ever, beattheshitouttastuffday! aka Wednesday. Although Fridays are staring to give Wednesdays a run for their money, but more on that later.

There was a tiny snow flurry during rush hour today, and for some reason, the majority of new englanders can't drive in the damn snow.

If it's not sticking to the road, there's no reason to slam on your brakes every 5 feet! Hell, even if it is sticking you shouldn't do that.

I wish a winter driving test was the law in addition to a regular test.
Anyway, it took me forever to get to the gym today.

I did Marcin's core conditioning class, and Zach's Traditional Boxing Class, then sparred with Zach for three rounds.
Zach, of course, beat the crap out of me, but I hadn't sparred 3 rounds in a row in the longest time, so I loved it.

Everyone has been injured lately, so sparring has been non-existent or me getting my ass handed to me (Aleks, Zach, etc)

Zach beat the crap out of me in round 1, but let me work in on him a bit in rounds 2 and 3.
I had a difficult time catching my breath after round 3, and I almost started wheezing, but I was able to take deep breaths and work it out, but it was still weird.

My scale says I am 206.6 pounds, so I have 8 pounds to go by January 15.

progress...

If (when!) I make 198, I am going to buy myself a fancy new pair of shoes, and sign up for trapeze school.

ooh, pretty...

I'm hoping that less weight means less stress on the shins, which would mean more jump roping! And running!
(Take note, that's probably the only time I'll sound happy about running. Once I start, I'll do nothing but bitch.

Knuckles, (since you're probably the only one who reads this with any regularity - if there's more than Knuckles, drop me a comment, say hi! [thanks Menace!]) I'm going to update with pictures in the morning, so check back to see my fancy shoes and the link to trapeze school!
