Ring Talk: Episode 2: When it clicks

She kept saying:   “It will click!  It will click!  And when it clicks you won’t be so frustrated”. She being coach Jennifer Huggins and true to form, the day it clicked was a beautiful moment and the frustration of not seeing or feeling the fruits of my none stop labour lifted immensely.  Now, I’ve since…

Ring Talk: Episode 1: Discipline

“I can’t, I have training”? Who can relate? Mine is usually Friday nights, other days too but mostly Friday.

Breakfast of champions!

Overnight oats and I have come a long way and we’ve become total bffs.  I recently took a week or so break from it to switch things up a bit and I’m back on it and it feels so, so good. There are many different opinions and views on whether or not it’s good for…

Good news and great fights!

To say this week my family received wonderful news is quite an understatement.  My mom is cancer free.  I let that sit for a bit before I continued this entry. I’m a live in the present, look ahead, future forward, forget the past kinda girl.  You know, like boxing a “get hit move on” attitude…
