OMG- I am soo sore today! I got out of the car this morning headed to work and I FELT my left butt cheek ache! I'm thinkin in my head WTF did I just do? But then I remembered.. it was all those leg lifts that my instructor had us doing last night..
Its been a little while since I've been to the gym so when I got in there last night.. AJ sticks me right in the front. I told him.. Dude, you're gonna kill me.. I'm gonna die!!
he started laughing.. You're not gonna die.. you might get knocked out but you won't die! lol..
Ok AJ i'm thinking in my head... whatever!!
But I'm a souljah so of course my adrenaline was pumping and I did my thing! I love working out..
There's like diffrent stages that I go thru right before I workout I get this nervous feeling like I have to pee.. then when I get there.. I feel tierd KNOWING what my body is about to go thru...But after stretching out and then doing my set of push-ups.. I'm pumped!
For a moment I didn't think I would last doing all those push-ups but Minerva was with me yesterday and she's such a pusher a go getter.. she kept on yelling out "Come on Analynn!! this ain't shit!" And she was right! *wink*
I secretly like standing in the front but also hate it.
I like doing my workout in front cuz that's where all the hype is..You get the mirror in front of you so you can watch if you're in position correctly and plus you workout harder knowing everyone is watching you.
I secretly hate it.. because I know everyone in class is watching us. But its good though... I like it when me Jazzy and Jaime work the front.. we all get into sync and it almost looks like some MMA dance.. lol
I miss Kevs talks with me about Muy thai. he would crack me up cuz he was on Tee on what I was feeling...
He told me.. "You walk around and you can be anywhere.. work, store, park... and if someone suspicious is walking up to you.. you no longer think about walking the other direction.. or being scared." I told him "You're right! Instead i'm thinking about all the possible combos I can do should this weirdo even try to step up to me.. right Jab, left upper hook, roundhouse! we would sit, and talk for hours of all the diffrent combo possibilities.
Erwin was always asking me to get into Wing Chung with him.. but the closest class would be in Berkeley and I'm not trying to go that way after work.. although after doing my research on Wing Chung and Bruce Lee's Jun Fan Gung Fu theory..It makes sense.. actually Jun Fan Gung Fu is Wing Chun..I'm definately interested. Wing Chun is like KILL BILL SHIT.. I LOVE THAT SHIT!!
like the 5 palm technique.. That's tight!
I think Wing Chun also uses alot of pressure points which is why you can stun a person within seconds. But the key is to be accurate, calm, and precise. Looks easy, but is quite difficult if you have no inside view of the dynamics of how it works.
So yesterday was pretty hot.. and working out in the heat intensified my workout even more.. I was sweating like crazy.
For me my workout isn't just to shape up or whatever.. but I'm twisted or something because if it was up to me.. I could stay at the gym ALL FREAKIN day! I love the adrenaline rush I get, I love seeing the sweat drip, I like realizing when I think certain moves are impossible.. I make it possible and it gives me such a cool natural high... I love it.
I know Mike got kinda upset because one of the first things he told me before I left was that he didn't want me pushing myself too hard.. and that it wouldn't be good if I was in front..
So when I got back home .. I told him about how AJ threw me right in the front.. Mike was pissed. He wanted to go to the Gym and tell AJ not to do that... But I told him it's ok I know where my limits are.. and I won't push if I know my body can't handle it. Awww .. I love Mike.. (as if I haven't mentioned it a thousand times before) He tells me he isn't mad at me, and he's not trying to nag, but he just loves and cares for me and doesn't want me to get hurt.
I understand what he saying.. and no I don't think he nags at me.. Honestly? It feels good that he's looking out for me.
I think sometimes he thinks i'm some little frail chick..
I also think he doesn't realize or doesn't remember... I took PUNCHES.. HITS, KICKS, CHOKES, Been Battered, Beaten and Bruised.
It's good.. I don't wanna remember that either. But I think its neat how he thinks I can't handle it.
Ok my body is super sore now.. i'm contemplating if I wanna take a motrin and fall asleep.. or endure the muscle pain and stay awake... i'm a souljah.. NO PAIN.. NO GAIN!!
OH and I wanted to put my favorite GIRLFIGHT QUOTES on here.
1. "when you're not training somebody else is training to kick your ass."
2. "the true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good "
3."If you dont attack then you have no chance of winning"
Oh and here's a pic with me and Billy Banks when I first started Tae-bo.. I worked my ass off in this class!
YUP YUP YUP!!!
