gabbox Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hello! I feel as if I should finally introduce myself since I have been creepin on this site for about a month now. My name is Gabby and I currently live in Boston for school. I am studying bookbinding and book conservation so I am sitting down most of the day. I found boxing about 2 and a half months ago and I'm seriously in love with it. It is a total body work out and my boxing gym offers fighter conditioning classes. I started going all the time, but I felt like I was missing something. I figured out it was my diet because it use to consist of a big ass bowl of cheerios (like a HUGE bowl) with 2% or whole milk. Tea with lots of sugar and milk 3 times a day. and lots of carbs (mac n cheese, tortalenni, italian food, ramen). I knew something needed to change. I started following the impossible blog and found out about the paleo diet. I basically changed everything over night; because for me, I either do it or not at all. I now eat loads of protein and veggies. fruits and nuts. I still have my occasional tea and bowl of cereal but not as often, just as a reward. I see total changes in my stomach, arms and legs. I have honestly been a good weight for my height my whole life but I wanted something more, something defining. So I'm so happy I found boxing and the paleo diet. I also love that I can eat when I'm hungry now. I use to feel guilty when I ate but now I just chow down. Thanks for the nerd postings! the Star Wars ones are the best! Link to comment

Bones Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Boxing is INTENSE! I go to a local MMA gym once or twice a month and it is always a loooong and exhausting work out...Plus, it's just bad ass! Good luck on your new lifestyle!
