Can't believe I survived a boxing class...

Every tomorrow has two handles.
We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety
or the handle of faith.
- Henry Ward Beecher


What a day. I was so tired this morning and was not looking forward to going to my Boxing-2B-Fit class tonight. I was actually really dreading it & hoping we would cancel., 2 of my friends weren't able to go, but my friend Julie & I went.
I did really well with my food today. Had 2 pieces of string cheese and coffee for breakfast, drank lots of water then went out to lunch for my friend Pat's birthday and I got a chicken salad, salad. It was really good. Yes, I said a chicken Salad, salad. It was very tastey. Had cucumbers and lettuce in it.
Then about an hour before work finished, I ate a  power bar so I would have something in my stomach. Went to the boxing class and came home and had chicken, peppers & onions. Lexi made it, it was really good. Now I am sitting on the couch, and trying to stay awake to write my blog. I need to stay awake a little longer because I need to talk to a friend tonight, and it'll be a little while before I talk to him.
The guy at the boxing place was a total jerk. I honestly wanted to get all NY & tell him to go screw himself & leave. But the classy me, stepped up, took what he said, swallowed it, and listened to what he had to say. In the end, he wanted to see if Julie & I were tough enough to tough it out! I guess we passed because he ended up hugging on me, and touching us like we were old friends, and being very supportive. I was rather shocked to say the least. But even though it was hard not to be offended, I actually got why he did what he did. Julie was awesome during the class, I felt like I was going to throw up & pass out. She was so supportive and kept me going. I DON'T QUIT! But boy did I want to leave after a few mintues, we took the Booty Boot Camp. It is NO JOKE! I did almost throw up & almost passed out a few times. The lady that did the class was awesome & showed me how to modify some stuff and said, this is your first workout here, don't push yourself too hard. So I did, but in last 15 mintues, I modified it a lot more but the goal was to keep moving which I did. The entire time! I HAVE NEVER SWEAT SO MUCH IN MY LIFE!!! EVER!!!! 

I talked with the instructor after and she suggested that I go every other day to start so I don't get burnt out, and that is what I am going to do.

Well I need to finish my wine & crawl into bed & pass out. I hope you all have a great night, and I will do my best to start writing every day again, been really slack the last few weeks getting back into the swing of things.

Hope you all have a great night!
GODSPEED!
