Workout Mishaps, they happen to us all at one time or another. Don't they?

Over the past year I have been working on me. I eat better, I exercise and I started taking more and more classes at my local YMCA. 

One of those new classes was a Les Mill Body Combat.  This class is an intense, high energy martial arts work out. It mixes moves from Karate, Taekwondo, Boxing, Muay Thai, Capoeira and Kung Fu.

Well, in my journey I decided to try this class out. I was so worried I would not be able to hang tough during the whole 60 min. So I started and I loved it.

Now picture this. It's not a secret I am bigger I have lost 40lbs. but there's so much more that needs to go. Needless to say I still have lots of jiggle.

So, we are punching away and I am totally into it. Sweat dripping off my face. The next set of punches has this elbow strike. You punch up with your elbow. Here's were it hit me literally! I go through my series of  punches. Left punch, right hook, left upper hook and right elbow strike and BAM! WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT! Did my ARM FAT just slap me in the face! Why yes, yes it did!   I could not believe it! I immediately looked around to see if this was seen by anyone else. I wanted to bust out laughing. Thank god no-one saw and I just carried on. I know I cannot be the only person that this has ever happened to. Honestly! I am not the only plus sized person who has taken a class like this. I need to know your hilarious work out stories. Please share! This is a safe zone!


Bottom line is these bad boys need to go!

Keep Calm...I'm Back

  
 
     Holy balls it has been a long time since my last post! Truth be told I started this post over many time before just saying "eff it" and let it go! Since my lasts posts my life has changed so much. I now have an awesome job with a company I am proud to work for. I have an amazing work family and am so thankful for that! 
 
     The other amazing change is my journey to being healthy. I have lost 40 lbs. I joined the YMCA in my area and surrounded myself with like minded people who enjoy working out and being healthy. I am absolutely LOVING IT! 
 
     The time away was good but lately, thanks to the time hop app,I see all my old blog posts and well here I am. I was missing it and didn't even realize it until now. So sit back, buckle up and enjoy the ride with me. For those who followed in the past you know I am unfiltered, speak my mind and there isn't a topic I won't discuss! My life is an open book which I know my husband sometimes wishes he could just close it or skip a few pages. Haha!!
