Coach Mike will find me an MMA amateur debut in two months. He forecasts I will turn pro in 6 months. Then we make our way to Cyborg.
I know I have a long way to go. But, I am ready to put my time in and focus. All athletes are creatures of habit. And it is nice to be back in a routine.
I am super pumped!! Thursday, I get to shadow a friend at work. I met Mitch Esch at a sports pub where all the Huskers in my area gather to watch the games. After a few weekends, I learned he recently moved his family to the area to lead a firm in trading on the stock market. I LOVE IT!! I study techniques of technical analysis of stock charts as a pastime. I am currently doing a self study with John Murphy’s Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets. I want to master these studies!!
I had a great day for MMA practice. My new coach, Mike, also spoke of a plan… I will tell you about it tomorrow.
I had meet Bill “The Grill” Cooper at Fox Sports Bar on Saturday night while watching the UFC fights. He was so drunk I had to carry him to his car… well, that is not true, but it was fun to say to his boxing coach when I met him at Paragon tonight.
I am going to tell you one thing, besides the fact that I had a great workout (aka… I got my ass kicked)
Until now, I felt like I was in class and had an instructor. But, tonight, at Paragon, I felt like I had a team and a coach. Actually, two coaches, Mike Lujan for boxing and The Grill for jiu jitsu.
Jogged before breakfast. Ate high protein all day. Did MMA class tonight… kicked my butt!!
Tomorrow, I plan to jog in the am, then I am headed to train with “The Grill”, a jiu jitsu champion at 6. I’m super pumped! Then I should make it back to Elite MMA for the 8:00 jiu jitsu class.
Right now I am attempting to update my blog from my Droid. It will hopefully post my picture which will make it easier to blog from my phone.
Let’s see if it works.
It was so exciting!! In my second MMA class of the day,submission wrestling, I KICKED ASS!!! For the last 5 minutes, we rolled (sparring jiu jitsu style). I pulled off an arm bar move I learned the day before… my opponent tapped out. I told him I had learned it the day before, but I didnt know much else. We rolled again… then I recalled a triangle choke I do with my legs… again he tapped. I giggled, “I guess I know two moves.” Then we rolled again… and I recalled an arm lock I learned fro Bas Rutten. Holy smokes, tap out number three!!! It is coming to me as I roll. SO MUCH FUN!!!
After class the guy gave me kudos, which were much appreciated. It is not so much what I did just then, it is the fact that I am retaining the techniques and I am able to execute them successfully. I love this sport!!
Tonight I went with my roommate to a bar to watch the UFC fights. There I met “The Grill”, a jiu jitsu champion, who invited me to train at his place in Augora Hills. Can’t wait!!
I also met a man Joseph who had been on the previous season of the Ultimate Fighter, he was super nice. All the top athletes, such as himself, drive all over to train with the best specialists.
Such a fun day! And to top it all off, I gave myself a haircut. Not bad, if I do say so myself 
I am telling you right now… if you are an athlete Never, EVER take Cipromax!! I remember looking at the info pamphlet and it said… number one side effect TORN TENDONS!! I am thinking of calling Walgreens to see if I took any before I tore my biceps tendons.
Anyway, back when I had cat scratch fever, I took some. Then my patella tendon swelled and my Achilles swelled, then my biceps tendon swelled. To this day… at least 4 months later, my Achilles is still tender to the touch.
So, needless to say, I have laid off the heavy lifting, because it is not worth risking an injury. The timing was perfect though, for all of my traveling.
Plus, I have made a big decision to keep downsizing. Don’t worry… all you fans who like me big… I guarantee you will like the end result. I am giving myself 3 months to execute the process. I should post progress picture, so I am held accountable to YOU!!
I will tell you what! I am a creature of habit, and traveling for random events has not been conducive to my physical needs…. working out, that is. Where have I been? Well I told you of Dallas and San Francisco. In the last three months, I have also been to Chicago, Houston, Vegas, Albuquerque, Sacramento, Omaha and Glenwood Springs.
So, give me a minute to brush off the dust. I will be posting like a mad woman.
While I was in Albuquerque, I went to a boxing match where the main event was a women’s bout. And it was awesome. Holly Holm kicked some major booty! I will post a picture of her match.
For now, here is a picture of me and my friend, Amber. Enjoy!!
I met an INVENTOR!! I love it, when I meet someone who is passionate about their sport. I met my friend, Jesse Nicassio, at Elite MMA in Westlake Village, CA. He loves MMA, but he took it one step farther. He created a product to assist training and it applies to a lot more than MMA training.
You can use the Mass Suit for: Boxing, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, MMA, Football, Basketball, Soccer, Baseball, Lacrosse, Track n Field, Swimming, Waterpolo, Vollyball, Tennis, Golf, Rock Climbing, Tri-Athlete, Weightlifting (my favorite), Military, College and Professional Sports… ETC… and don’t forget Weekend Warriors!!
Okay, here is the site! Click on the logo and watch some cool video demonstrations.
I am going to shoot some pictures of me using this awesome invention next week… tune in!
I love birthdays!! Everyones birthday is important and should be celebrated for multiple days!!
Last night my roommate and I went to my favorite gourmet pizza place. Had a couple wings and beers.
Tonight we were invited to a friends house for crab legs, birthday cake and the UFC!! I am a lucky birthday girl!
I know I have been so quiet. I have put myself into a cocoon for reinvention. I am considering what kinds of colors I want to flaunt when I fly.
I am conjuring a plan. My next desire is to write a book. But, I want you to be involved. So, keep in touch. I will let you know how.
