Well good morning FS buddies!
Ahhhh...Sometimes we must exhale! This is what I have been trying to do everyday. Take a moment to breath and reflect on life's many blessings! I am normally a talker; however, lately I have enjoyed the stillness and tranquility! I am really seeking out peace as the daily stressor's of life can weigh heavy on the human psyche' and cause the body to retain weight! So I am exhaling...Ahhhhh....
Now, yesterday was boxing at boot camp. I love boxing as it is a way for me to release all my frustrations. Let me take a moment to say I am so grateful for this opportunity to workout with Jennifer Alcorn. She has such an incredible heart and truly wants to see people not only reach their weight goals but be healthy as well! Kudos to Jen!
Now back to my story about boot camp. Last night, we learned how to dance like Muhammad Ali. Yep that’s right me! Float like a butterfly sting you like a bee...LOL Jennifer said that I had strong punches but I needed to relax my shoulders (as I was tense; LOL) and she told me that I don’t want to get hit and that is my resistance to not fight harder. Then after telling me that I was scared to take a punch; she walked away. I was a little bothered as I am not; repeat not a PUNK. LOL I grew up with brothers and we fought all the time; however, in my now wiser years I don’t like to fight unless I have too. I think somewhere in my maturing I have learned to fight with my mind and not my fist. To add, I work in corporate America and I can not; repeat can not have missing teeth, a broken nose and swollen eyes. My face and the smile that I carry on it is one of my assets. I mean it never dawn on me that I might get hit in the face. LOL Nonetheless, I have to toughen up and take it like I know I can. Meanwhile praying, “Lord please don’t let me get hit in the face.” :D I am going to make sure that I master dodging those punches! I mean Sweet Lord I am girlie girl with an edge, not some violent person. I much rather give a hug and cuddle. LOL
All in all last night was great and I am looking forward to next Wednesday training session.
Regards,
The Butterfly~

Now I'm almost sure y'all are wearing headgear right? Cause I'm sure Alcorn doesn't want someone knocked out by accident lol. And besides a black eye or a chip tooth might show leadership or whatever they measure in corporate America so you might get a promotion. And isn't it true that pretty women intimate the other women (I'm kidding) on the job lol. With that new promotion you'll have other people happy to work for you. Always emphaise the positive but whatever you do don't let Alcorn hit you full speed in the body cause she might be the female boxer that knocked out her opponent and made her have a bowel movement lol. But seriously boot camp sounds like a lot of and you shold be proud of what you've achieved so far whether its weight loss or more physical strength or both.

LOL! Splendid and Shia- You guys are a hoot! Thank you for the vote of confidence as Jennifer thinks I am a whiner. LOL I wish you guys could join all the Alcorn fun. Have either one of you googled her? If so I am sure that you have seen her arms and cuts! I would not want to be hit by her! If she really did make her opponent poop I don't want to find out fist hand. LOL No seriously she is a wonderful person! I just found out that she was on Wife Swap. She is changing lives everyday. By the way I am so proud of you both! How is life treating you today?

Do they provide face masks? Haha. Man, I would be a complete wimp. When I make a fist, my boyfriend teases me by saying in a squeaky voice, "Beware of my tiny fist!" I so admire you for being in the Alcorn program.
