Patong + Kata Beach

Saturday night we went to Patong. VERY different from the quiet street I live. Flashy lights, clubs, bars, ladyboys, cigarettes, shots, loud music, people asking you every 10 seconds to see a PING PONG show!!! Please, people, you know what this means…Not into any of that stuff so much, but interesting to take it all in. My favorite part was walking past a “fish therapy” place and Tina wanted to try it! So we did πŸ™‚ The fish are supposed ...

Same but Different

Friday:

woke up, chilled out

9 AM “MMA” class (jiu jitsu)

learned a little bit about take downs:

  • head to the side, grasp under their butt, lift them up, and drive them to the side with your head
  • lower your level, drive your forehead into their sternum, and lift their legs so they slam onto their back

Day #3 @ Tiger Muay Thai & MMA

Today was another great day πŸ™‚ After the vigor of the past two days, I prolly cut my exercise in half today. In the morning, I had a private session with a Muay Thai trainer who killed me with cardio. I haven’t been pushed that hard since…I don’t know how long it’s been. Fun times!

Then after that, I had to walk around the corner to the weight room, because I have not lifted in ages and wanted to touch the ...

Today was my second day of training, and it felt awesome.

First off, my elbow is actually feeling better today than it did yesterday! And my toe seemed pretty much, if not all the way healed. I have still been taping it, but I have been doing kicks, taking classes, and having to jog in classes no problem. YES!!!!! THANK YOU!!!

Okay, first day of training on the books. Yessss it feels so good.

After too little sleep (went to bed late because I went with peeps to the night market, then in the morning I woke up at 4:30 AM because my Australian friend was frikking drunk and stumbled into my room to chat because I accidently left the door unlocked! There went my sleep. I “tried” to sleep but no sleep was happening. At 6 AM, I got out of ...

Every Love Can Be Merciless

Yes, lovelies, it’s that all-too-infrequent time to update the bloggie. Sorry! I love you!! πŸ˜‰

Exercise

As far as exercise has been concerned (of course I must start with the most important topic LOL), I have been unable to train in muay thai and jiu jitsu due to my toe healing. It was only recently that I started to feel comfortable enough to even box with it (e.g. have to be a bit light on the ...
