This weather sucks. It's been grey and cold all day. Thankfully I think it's supposed to be sunny this weekend. But I'm working.
I took the day off from the gym because the ribs are bugging me and I banged my knees on S.'s knees about 3 times last night. Of course, I hit my knee in the same spot all three times and I can see the bruise in between the tattooed parts of my leg and even through the yellow ink in some spots. That's what I call a fucking bruise.
My big toe has also been acting up and I've been feeling really exhausted and run down this week. We joke about our training routines at the gym. J. and I were laughing at the "overtraining" comment another woman made. I think quite a few of us sometimes overtrain. I can usually tell when I'm sore for longer than usual and when my ass is dragging more than usual and when my sleeping gets a little worse than usual. My sleeping is crappy anyway but when my workouts feel eh, I know I should back off a little bit. I also think the intensity of my workouts in the last week is a lot higher than I'm used to. Before grading to blue, classes were technique and padwork. Nowadays, class will consist of more technical sparring. Last night I only did the 5 pm class and it was me and 3 guys up in the ring. We had to work a kick, a kick and a jab, and finally any kick combo, and shadow-boxing. I was fucking drenched and exhausted. Same as Wednesday night....we sparred for 1/2 the class then worked on combos on the heavy bags for the other half. Last night, though, I was more conscious and made more of an effort to move better than I did the night before. It's amazing how I can move myself and push myself through a class even though I feel like sleeping right before class starts. Hmm....I guess it's mind over body.
And in other fun news:
At the end of last semester (May), I weighed 135 or so.
By mid-June, I had dropped to 130.
Around the middle of the summer I was hovering in the 127 range and was having difficulty getting back down to 125 like last year. After 3 weeks of boot camp in August, I was around 125.
As of yesterday/today - I weighed in at 123 at 7 p.m. I'm not sure what my weight is right when I get up....but I'll stick to my 123 story.
If I could target my ass fat and not lose as much tit, I could drop down to 120. I just think I need to increase my cardio more and do some more weights on my legs and overall do more leg exercises to target my hamstrings and my glutes. My quads I'm not so concerned about because they get a freaking workout all the time.

A good while ago I was 5'11" and 130-135 lbs. I must have looked horrible!
