Today, I Devoured Wendy

By far the most underrated thing about constantly working out is being able to eat WHATEVER YOU WANT! This translates into me literally trying to eat everything in front of me. Remember when The Biggest Loser first came on TV (my new fav show since The Bachelor season ended. Luv it. Don't hate, look at the new girl trainer.) and they would show what the contestants would normally eat in a day? I am 1000% certain this is how the conversation went with whoever you were watching with:

You: WOW, I cannot believe people on this planet eat that much. That is disgusting.
Anonymous Friend: Totally, I could never eat that much.
You: If I'm ever like that, feed me a cheeseburger kill me.

I've gotten into the habit of eating late night after going out - cheesesteaks, fries, Doritos, ice cream, pretzels, sesame chicken, fruit roll ups - literally anything is fair game. And world, I am still standing.

The reason I bring this up is because I had Wendys for dinner tonight for maybe the second time in the past 4 years. I missed her. Dearly.

In MTN (my new acronym for Muay Thai News), arm bands are now a part of our uniform. The bands are basically a piece of white rope tied in a knot that you wear on your left arm, above the tricep. This symbolizes that you are a student. I'm waiting for the day when I can wear a headband around my arm, John Cena style.

On Monday's class, we learned a new boxing combo: right uppercut - left hook - right cross - left uppercut - right cross. This basically means nothing to most people but riddle me this: Did you ever joke around and punch the air like a boxer warming up? And after about 5 seconds of looking cool this turned into your arms just randomly flailing around in circles? Well, this USED to happen to me all the time.

But the more I practice that combo, the more my shadow boxing (warm up boxing) actually resembles punches. Look at me now. 

Next time: Secrets of Jumping Rope (actually much, much harder than it seems)


Peace & Love,
MKP
