Operation Sparkle Shorts: Golden gloves!

Golden gloves!

Yesterday was night one of the Southern New England Golden Gloves!
Zach won his fight, and Marcin fights next week!

I trained with Gretchen yesterday. I wore 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts, and I weigh 206 today. Yay, one whole pound. Progress is progress, right?

My abs hurt so good today, but I'm not sure why.

My sense of smell is incredibly messed up, and I have no idea if it's boxing related or not. I made cake and it smells like sausages. I'm going to have someone else smell it before I frost it.
Weird.

So what is "Operation Sparkle Shorts"??

My trainer and I made a bet: he thinks he can get me down two weight classes - to 165 pounds - by May 1, 2011. I weighed 219 pounds the last week in November 2010, when we dreamed this plan up.

[EDIT: My trainer's trainer decided that 165 is a crazy goal - she said I would be way anorexic and not strong enough to fight, so we have set our sights upon the next weight class, which is 178. It's only a one weight class difference, so it should be attainable!]

Why is it called Operation Sparkle Shorts, you ask?

Some of the people from the boxing gym were out at a restaurant one night, and we ran into someone that one person knew. She was a very nice, incredibly fit woman, and she was wearing this oh so tiny pair of sparkley shorts.

I commented about how shiny they are (shiny is my favorite color, after all) and how if I had a body like hers, I'd probably wear sparkle shorts too! After a fit of giggles from the entire table, the bet was formulated.

The stakes? If I succeed in getting my weight down to 165 [178] by May 1, 2011, I've promised to get a pair of sparkle shorts tattooed...on my butt!

High stakes, but at 165 [178] I would be an awesome derby skater, and an even better boxer!
