A few things I'd like to mention:
So it's about the 2nd month into my kickboxing training. I really enjoy it and don't regret cancelling my membership at Goodlife - well no, I lie. I do miss going to the gym with the cousin and showing off our bodypump skills. With this being said, I also miss bodypump.
Nonetheless, the kickboxing gym does have a weight room. Even though it's not that great, it'll do. Also, Seneca does have adequate facilities. Even thought I wish they have a pool, they do have a punching bag so I can def show off what I've learned from kickboxing there too.
I am actually proud to say that I 'kickbox.' Yes, that's right, I kickbox and will probably kickbox you out of the room as well lol I feel like people underestimate my strength and endurance because my short and small. Well beware bitches, I will cat fight you any time... and have girls to back me up as well! LOL
I realized that I strained my calf muscles during last week's classes. It hurt (and still does) like bitch. Because of this, I'm refraining from kickboxing this week for it to heal fully. I've heard horror story from the guys about not properly letting injuries heal and yes, it's scary. Russ recently had surgery on his knee after not taking care of its injuries properly. Now, me, Ram and Russ are out of order to do anything active because of this. Hopefully it heals this week so I can get back to my routine again.
On the topic of fitness, I've been still keeping up with my "lifestyle change" even though I don't post it up here. I've noticed that my spare tire has been shrinking bit by bit. It gives me motivation to wear that bikini in public again.
I've just read my cousin's blog... in which she mentions summer. Yes, this summer has been hot and steamy! So far, I've done a lot of things:
- Montreal - My summer started off with a long weekend trip with the girls. I've come to realize that my girls are everything - they keep me grounded. And although I probably don't show it or say it but I love you girls so much.
- Summerlicious & Aziz Ansari - This year, a group of us went to Toula Fine Italian Restaurant on the top of the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel by the lake. It was beautiful. The food average.
- Four year anniversary - If you guys know me and Joo, our anniversary is actually Feb 15, a day after vday. This year, we couldn't celebrate it because 1. That week was Chinese New Year 2. I had way too much homework to even think about going out 3. It was too cold. So we promised that we would celebrate it at a later date when we're both stress free and don't have a lot of things going on. We didn't realize that we would be celebrating after almost 6 months lol Oh well. We went to Toula Restaurant again (because Canoe was NA) and it was alright. The best part about our date, (other than our card competition in which he won) was our nightly stroll down the harbourfront. It was romantic. We talked a lot about things including our future together. Anyhow, I'm not gonna get into the juicy things because it almost made me cry :)
- Niagara-on-the-Lake Day - Jessica and I are really big show whores lol We love going to go see plays, musicals and all that jazz. We got really cheap tickets to this play in Niagara-on-the-Lake during the Shaw festival. Since it is a drive away, we decided to spend the day there shopping at Lundy's Lane and going on a cycling wine tour for the afternoon. It was a lot of fun but very exhausting at the end of the day.
- World Cup 2010 - I think Kay will yell at me for not mentioning this ....surprisingly, I enjoyed it. I'm not the type to watch or bet on sports but since this even only comes every 4 years, I thought "why not get into it?" and I did... after Brazil lost, I kind of lost in touch of the whole thing though. Nonetheless, there were several drunken nights with Ram, Lisa, and the cousin after watching the games. I enjoyed it and look forward to watching it again :)
Things I'm looking forward to:
- Vancouver trip with Jessica and Joo: I can't wait to go. We already booked our flights and hotel. I already know what we're probably gonna do :) I've been searching for places to go and restaurants to go to. I can't wait!
- Camping trip: I know, I'm such a city girl... and yes I am sooo proud of being one... so mother nature, please treat me kindly!
- Anthony's wedding: aaahhhhh I finally have a dress!
- Ram's bday boat cruise: got my other dress!
- Niagara Falls with the girls: It's gonna be epic!
And there it goes... my august sched!
