What is more ideal than being naughty on Valentine’s Day? Absolutely nothing. In the spirit of this fine, somewhat ridiculous holiday, I ate a whole fucking heart of chocolate! Not even a small one.
After putting off going to a class for months because it intimidated me, I am now scheduled to try it tomorrow…
Although boxing has been my chosen workout recently, I’ve only used a punching bag one on one with a trainer where at least my girl punches were witnessed by a single person. The classes I’ve done were more centered around shadow boxing, tying your hands and wearing boxing gloves wasn’t required.
The class tomorrow in roughly 24 hours, is in a place with a real boxing ring in it. You have to tie your hands which I have no idea how to do. Everyone in the class will probably have super tight abs and be wearing tops that look like sports bras.
Guess who is having second thoughts about showing up?
Not to make this any more awkward then it already is, I stabbed myself cutting open an avocado. Yes, healthy fats are so important, they are worth suffering for!
The impact of the punches might reopen the cut. Being a bloody mess will really help me to feel like I’m blending in. On the bright side, at least the instructor won’t be able to give me shit for not hitting the bag hard enough.
Pulling myself together; dressed in whatever snazziest workout gear I can find that isn’t in the dirty laundry bin, I’m going to do this!
Maybe.
There will NEVER be a perfect moment for anything.
Waiting for some imaginary point in time when you will be a better version of yourself, diminishes the phenomenal person you are right now!
Absorb the glow of a little self-love this Valentine’s Day however you are celebrating, with or without the sugar rush 🙂
Wishing you a sweet day filled with love…
Happy Valentine’s Day! ♥

You go girl. Go out there show us all that you feel is not like others. You need not worry about the rest of the class. When you are ready you will communicate your position and show them that you are worthy of their respect and admiration. I was wondering about the two pink Bones with you Chocolate Heart. Oh Well, that is for another time. You can make this work for you.

Thank you John! Your awesome support means so much 💜 The pink bones are actually 2 pound hand weights I have been using to increase the intensity of my at home boxing workouts. They do totally look like bones 😂

It went well John! Thank you for asking😊 The last 15 minutes of the class were super hard, but I pushed through it because I knew I wouldn’t be happy with myself if I gave up.

Kifework : I’m guilty of moving the knife instead of the object being cut as well. ( that’s how most people cut themselves. )
If the cut is not too deep you can use Dr. Christopher’s Comfrey ointment to speed up the healing. But with Comfrey ointment you have to be careful because you can heal fast enough to seal in an infection.

Thank you for this suggestion Lloyd! I might have learned a lesson about not using a cutting board. Hope you’re having a lovely Valentine weekend💗

You’re welcome.
My first attempt at publishing was a wilderness survival YouTube channel and one of topics was kifework. So you learn how to use the knife properly or it can get really bad in the back country.
Also, your story inspired me to design a special tool for extracting the pits of avocados. I’ll need to find the time to build a prototype and get a friend to work on the 3D printing but when I did a Google image search there’s nothing out there with a similar design.
