Do What You Can, With What You've Got. And CRUSH IT.

I have been a huge fan of kickboxing since I first started doing Taebo like 10-15 years ago. Billy Blanks just ROCKS. I still have some Taebo DVDs and I've heard that Billy has some new ones out that are up to the tough-factor of the early days. Gotta check those out. I also love Ilaria's kickboxing DVDs because that chick is TOUGH. 

I had to "do what you can with what you've got" today. I was working on the book this afternoon, dressed in my workout clothes, ready to hit it with a nice hour long run....and BAM. Tummy ache. I had Chipotle for a late lunch- don't know if that was it or what, but I was just feeling like a baby bowling ball was in my tummy. When my body feels that way I KNOW I cannot do anything high impact and certainly not running. It pissed me off big time, but I wasn't ABOUT to let it stop me from a great workout! NO WAY~!!! 

I wanted to get my sweat on so I chose kickboxing since I can do Ilaria's workout at home, with no high impact. I followed that with a shoulder blast workout for about 20 minutes, all said and done it was about 65 minutes and I burned 550 calories. Meh. I didn't go for a killer 2 hour workout today because- gotta finish this book. It was supposed to turned in this morning, now it will be likely tomorrow around lunch. OY. OY!

Kickboxing gets me AMPED and I tell you- I really wanna take it up a notch and go into a gym with a badass trainer like THIS and take out some agressions:

I'm also just gonna say that Marisa Miller probably has one of the best bodies on the planet. I mean, seriously? I will NEVER stand next to that broad or I will look like the Pillsbury Dough Boy. 

Anyway, I am psyched to get this book turned over. Amy and I are doing a spa getaway later this week and then......I'm doing my first 5K on Saturday morning!! WOOT! On a side note, what is UP with these races starting at 7am?? WTH are they trying to do, kill me? DAYUM! Oh the cross I bear. 

Can I just tell you something? I AM ON FIRE! I AM CRUSHING IT! My body is looking better every day, I am stronger and faster and fitter every day. YOU CAN'T TOUCH THIS people. You just can't. 

That's right. WHO'S YOUR DADDY?? 

For the first time in a long time, I can tell you, I see THIS in my future:

I'm not joking. I'm on the way.
