Jamin

Boxing class consisted mostly of sparring today. We started out just throwing jabs, then 1s and 2s, and finally went to free spar. I was sparring with another student today and as I threw my jab out, his shot one over my arm and got me pretty good. I dropped my guard hand on the right without thinking and he followed up with a hook. Next thing I know, coach is picking me up off the mat. I don't even remember falling down. What a humble lesson I have learned today.

My pants got a big split up them today at the gym. Only got one hour in at boxing class today because of that. Better luck next time I suppose.

It wasn't really that long ago that we got ours. If you get the chance to join an MMA gym, I definitely recommend it.

Boxing went really well today. I sparred with a few more experienced guys and was really humbled at just how little I know. I took a lot of really good shots and dealt some good ones of my owns. I've got a minor headache but overall, it was a really awesome night at the gym. I can't wait until tomorrow, I'm going to be taking my first Muay Thai class.

I've decided to substitute PT for Boxing class today.

I had been eating black beans but I suppose now I'll have to find a replacement for them. Thanks for the heads up

Physical training with the Marines today at 5. Until then, I'll be taking it easy.

I started this morning off on the right foot and knocked out my workout early. Warm up: 4 minutes of jump rope 50 jumping jacks 20 body squats 5 lunges for each leg 5 hip rotations each leg 10 forward/side leg swings 10 push ups 10 counts of arm swings 10 counts of shoulder rotations Workout (1 set): 20 body squats 10 push ups 5 lunges each leg 10 dumbbell rows (15 pounds) each arm 15 second plank 30 jumping jacks Overall I took it easy this morning because I have boxing class later today and I'm sure that I'm going to be adding more to this list when I get home.

That's a really neat idea. I hadn't thought of fixing food to last me the whole week.

If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to post them. I enjoy feedback and even criticism.

I just got a gym membership so I'll keep an ear out and see if I catch anything noteworthy.

I've seen P.O.D., Three Days Grace, and Shinedown in Lexington last February. My first and only concert as of now. It was pretty sweet except some punk rubbed gum all over my windshield and I had to drive all the way back to Louisville with a funky kaleidoscope looking window.

Thanks, I appreciate it!
