But tonight, oh tonight. I've been driving past a new addition to our neighborhood for a couple of months now...telling myself that I need to get in there and give it a try. And tonight I got my ass in gear and did it.
I went boxing.
And I learned that boxing is not for me.
Well, let me quantify that statement. The actual boxing portion of it was quite fun. I was using new muscles. I was getting out some aggressions. I was feeling quite "tough" and "rough" and, perhaps even "scary"! A force to be reckoned with!
HA!
Wait, back to reality. There was more running, squatting, push-ups, burpees, jumping-jacks, and mountain climbers than there was boxing.
Yes, yes, I'm the same girls who completed 60 days of Insanity. BUT! (and this is a big but...not MY butt...be clear) BUT, that was in the privacy of my own home. Which means I could look stupid and only the cat and dog (and occasionally Eric) could see. It was in the privacy of my own home where I could sit down in a chair and curse at Shaun T while he urged me on.
Tonight, however, was in front of others. There was a REAL "Shaun T" telling me to punch harder, jump higher, squat lower. <sigh>
Well, I can say I did it. And that's about all I can say. Other than the moon in the purple sky was a nice sight to walk out to! Oh...and I supposedly burned over a thousand calories...cheers to that!
