Tonight I went back to kickboxing training for the first time since my boob job surgery. Oh my gosh it was SO FUN! It was just me and a few boys tonight, so while they were sparring I got to beat up one of these things -
I named him Todd. Anyway it was really fun and it was a very intense hour and twenty minutes. Kickboxing is something I have picked up quite easily, probably because I have good balance and am quite flexible, so today I was learning some really cool five kick combos. One thing I struggle with is kicking with my heel forward – after years of dancing it’s natural for me to point my foot whenever I lift it in the air so that’s something I really need to practice to break that habit. On the plus side, I could easily kick most people in the head!
Next week, Hunter and I are planning on getting back into the whole kickboxing thing properly and we’re gonna be training there three times a week. Neither of us have any intention of ever actually fighting (we like our pretty faces too much haha) but it’s seriously the best work out. It’s fun and it’s great for fitness and strength.
While I’m on the subject of fitness, I’m really enjoying running at the moment. I’ve been going for a jog/walk around the neighbourhood for about forty minutes every morning and it’s such a great way to kick off the day. It’s so much easier for me to feel motivated to eat healthy food all day when I exercise first thing. I’m enjoying it so much I’m even considering joining a recreational running club, and participating in some local fun runs for charity.
I really, really want to have a body that I am proud of. I want to look in the mirror and feel happy and know that I earned it, and I deserve it. My weight has fluctuated SO much over the years, and I’ve spent so much of my stripping/modelling career being a bit out of shape, and I feel like I’m wasting my potential. Aside from the physical benefits, I feel so much happier and livelier when I’m fit and healthy. Exercise is the best thing in the world, I’m so glad to be back into it properly after having so much time off due to my surgery!
