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?
