Paging Billy Blanks

Remember Tae-Bo? Billy Blanks sweaty, bald head bobbing and weaving as he “punched it out” via my VCR. Oh! Remember VCR’s?

I digress.

I faithfully did Tae-Bo back when I was in college in hopes that I would build up some arm muscles. I no longer remember if I obtained those results. I think I only achieved those through Power Yoga a few years later.

I should probably break out those old tapes and find myself a VCR so I can try to brush up on “my moves” because today I will be taking my first boxing class. I recently won a free month at my local boxing gym and while I am a bit scared, it might be good for me. I can get out some of that holiday stress, work off that giant candy bar I ate yesterday and pretend that the punching bag is H’s “holiday beard”. Grrr… I hate that thing. It is as if we have added a fifth member of the family. I swear it is going to start talking one of these days. Every time it scratches me, I want to sedate H and shave it off. Preferably in a goofy pattern so that he will never grow it again.

    SOOOO jealous!! I want to hit stuff!! Drew just bought me gloves and pads to hit because I've felt so….well, violent lately. I LOVE IT. When I feel stressed he puts the pads on his hands and I wail away. I'll take that over Calgon any day!!

    The idea of a holiday beard cracks me up. Too bad I'd have to start growing mine in July to have anything noticeable by December…After you get going, post how you like boxing classes – I've been wondering about them (or kickboxing).
