I love progress
I love those days where you can really see that you're making headway. Monday night I was at MMA class and we did a lot of strength work. I was rocking the pushups, which is a HUGE accomplishment for me. I wasn't able to do a single one when I started a few months ago.
After that, we spent some time on the heavy bag, which I love. There's something really satisfying about throwing some good kicks and punches. I ended up bruising the top of my foot, which was entirely my own fault for using bad form. That's a lesson that you remember though, and it won't happen again.
Lastly we did some ground and pound grappling. I'm really surprised at how much I enjoy it, and how much of a workout it really is. Right now, I'm pretty slow, but I'm strong, so I do better on the ground than stand up sparring. Hopefully with practice (and weight loss) I'll get speedier.
When I first started, a class like this would have been killer. And the next day would have been even worse. Now I'm loving it the whole time, and while I'm a little sore the next day, it's nothing that renders me immoblie like it used to :) Yay for progress!
