I just don't know
What made them forget that I was raw
But now I gotta new toy
I'm going insane..."
I hate boxing only once a week. I wish I could go to the class more than just on Tuesdays, but there are a few things that stop me. There are classes on Monday-Thursday nights, but I usually only get one night off, and I try to make it Tuesdays so I can get to Rosa's class. There are some morning classes Monday-Wednesday and on Saturdays, but for one, I don't get up early enough to go... two, Rosa doesn't teach those classes... and three, if I was to get up early enough, I am not the type who likes to wake up and work out. I like to work out after the day is half over or more. I feel more energetic working out at 8pm than I ever would at 8am.
I'm pushing myself harder as certain parts of the class are getting easier. Originally I couldn't do the whole class without having to stop and break ever once in a while. Now I'm pushing myself harder, punching harder, kicking higher and feeling way better. I busted my hands up pretty bad today though. I wear wraps and karate gloves, but they aren't enough anymore. I need real boxing gloves now. Just look...
 
My right hand is actually worse than the pic makes it out to be. The mid-knuckle on my index finger bled all over my wraps and I actually left blood on the heavy bag whenever I punched it. The knuckle on my pinky-finger bled through the wraps and glove and hurts like hell. It's the areas with the broken blood-vessels that hurts more than the actual open wound. My left hand is all bruised up, and one knuckle is busted open, but not as bad. This isn't even from hitting my hardest. I'm pacing myself and doing this much damage... I should just go all out next week and see what I can really do, then post pics from the hospital!
I need a bag for home now. I don't want to just do this once a week. Hell, if I get enough money from my novels, I'll build a gym in my basement including a ring and all sorts of practice bags. It's great for stress relief as well as writer's block.
Made cookies last night
I ate almost every one
I need to make more
