Round 1

This week I started my boxing training. I had this in mind a long time ago but I just cannot find time to make it happen. I enrolled in a small gym in Quezon City whose ambiance is a "cowboy" style place which is more hard core! These people take their boxing seriously like its their way of life.

Don't get me wrong, I am not doing this to pick fights and brag. I'm doing this to lose weight and try something new. I'm done with fighting people. It's all in the past. I was very hard headed as a kid. Now, I am more of a LOVER than a FIGHTER! hahaha!

I don't want to be Pacquiao who will risk getting his face shattered in order to get commercial deals, more money for gambling and help out the country. I don't need that shit! If ever I will, then I would do it in other ways. Ways thhat will not only benefit me, but benefit people around me.

In what ways, well as of the moment, I don't know yet. But I will get there.I'm quite positive with the idea.

Going back to boxing. On my first day, the training is a bit light but when I woke up the next day I found it hard to get out of my comfortable bed. hahaha! I was late for work! Damn!!! Then I realized how battered my entire body was. It was worse than my first day in the gym. The ironic thing is, I spent 2.5 hoours in the gym on my first day while I only spent 1.5 hours boxing.

Last Wednesday, I came back for day 2. The training was more intense and my body was hurt again. When I woke up Thursday morning, I had a harder time getting out of bed but I was not late anymore. I trained for 45 minutes but felt like I was training for 4 hours. My fists were swelling and my body was tired. So tired that I stayed outside the gym for a while before driving home.

Later tonight, before going to an office party, I'll go boxing first. You might think that I am crazy with the way my 1st 2 sessions were. But I made a committment to myself and to my trainers. I had broken my word before and it will NEVER EVER happen AGAIN!!!
