I Need a Boxing Name

So, I was inspired by our church series "Fighting to Win" where PD (my hubs) brought in trainers and world champion fighters from the Boxing Club to illustrate his sermons.  It's been a great series, and since I've been finding all kinds of excuses to avoid getting my exercise on, I now had no excuse since I'd met some great guys who were really encouraging for me to give it a go.  So I did.  Erik offered me a free training session to check it out.  Let me just say, after an hour I crawled into my van and cried.  But only after I had signed a contract.  It was exhausting, but fun!

That's why I need a boxing name. 

In the meantime, I'm working on building strength and stamina.  I've got a long way to go, but am making good progress (says my trainer), and I love feeling of strength flowing through me again.  And hitting a bag is fun!  What keeps me going is a strong goal with a timeline - it keeps me pressing forward.  Getting better at different skills keeps it interesting.  Trying new combinations is challenging. 

Are you pursuing a new goal?  What's keeping you motivated?
