Up and down again

Nekkid weight: 212 (again)

Well, I was good yesterday and went to class. Yes, I probably should've gone Wednesday, too, and just spent some time with one of the gym's many punching bags. (The gym is really small and doesn't have treadmills, ellipticals, or stairmasters...) Wednesday has passed, and I will try to do better next week, I promise.

Yesterday's workout was a bit difficult for me. We warmed up with a massive amount of sit-ups. (Hey, it felt massive to me.) I had a lot of trouble keeping up with the rest of the class, and I had to pause twice, but I felt like I was able to do a lot more sit-ups than when I first started taking the Krav class. Suprisingly, my belly doesn't really hurt today after all those sit-ups. I was expecting cramps, but I feel fine.

After the warm-up, I had some difficulty with the actual Krav. I had trouble going from throwing an elbow to the face to gripping my "attacker". It was the transition to that grip that kept throwing me. Everything I did just felt clumsy and awkward. At least I wasn't the only one having trouble this time.

After class, I signed up for a full six-month membership. (I originally signed up for just one month.)

I will go to class again tonight. I plan to try to get in some exercise over the weekend, too, instead of just sitting on my bum. Nothing too strenuous, though, because I want to be physically rested and ready for Monday night: that's when I start taking the cardio class after Krav. I think I'm going to try it three nights a week to start out, and slowly work my way up to 5 days. I'll just have to listen to my body. Hopefully, after piling on the cardio, I start to see a real difference on the scale. I'm going to plan my next weigh-in for next Saturday, July 17. It would be nice if I could lose two pounds by then. Any progress would be good.

Have a great weekend!

P.S. -- Thanks for the motivation!
