Operation Sparkle Shorts: Grrrrrr.

Saturday, January 1, 2011

Grrrrrr.

I took Thursday and Friday off because I think I might have a concussion and it actually hurts this time, so I'm going to take it easy.

Apparently, that is secret code for "dear body please gain 3 pounds and shatter any dregs of "can-do" spirit that may have been lingering in the fluid filled cavities of my concussed brain."

Seriously? Stfu. B.

A concussion is not to be taken lightly - you kinda need your brain to function in life. Take it easy. Remember this is something that you do for FUN. It's not a job - its not something you need to do to pay the bills. Its just a mini speed bump in the road. You will be back stronger than ever. Let me know if you need anything :)

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!
