Sunday’s Workout

Today I went video crazy and attempted to document some of the key points of my workout — below are snippets from my pre-workout rage brought on by my inability to say what’s really on my mind, 4 of the 5 three minute rounds that Wayne and I did on the heavy bags, and a pic of me after completing a 5 km run.

Pre-Workout

Workout

At the Club, Wayne and I did 5 three minute rounds of each of the following: skipping, shadow boxing, heavy bag work and technical sparring.

 (For those of you who are not keen on the boxing stuff, the videos of rounds 3 and 5 are the most entertaining.)

Round 1

Round 3

Round 4

Round 5

Let’s be honest, the best video is of me trying to drink with my mouth guard in!

Post Workout

4 hours, 2 locations, 3 t-shirts and 2 head bands later, I'm done for the day.

I managed to get my make-up on. I definitely can't multitask!

Sweet Dreams

(Turn the lights on!)
Every night I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I’ll get a chance to see you when I close my eyes
I’m going outta my head
Lost in a fairytale
Can you hold my hands and be my guide?
Clouds filled with stars cover your skies
And I hope it rains
You’re the perfect lullaby
What kind of dream is this?

You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don’t wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on!)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your loves to good to be true
(Turn the lights on!)
My guilty pleasure I ain’t goin nowhere
Baby, long as you’re here
I’ll be floating on air cause you’re my, you’re my….
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don’t wanna wake up from you

Sweet Dreams, Beyoncé

Can’t Be Touched

Can’t be touched
Can’t be stopped
Can’t be moved
Can’t be rocked
Can’t be shook
We hot

I move when my heart say move
Fierce like a lion
Got nothing to prove
Stubborn as a hot damn mule
God in my corner
Can’t lose

Can’t Be Touched, Roy Jones

Je veux tout

Je veux tout
Toi et les autres aussi
Au quatre coins de ma vie
Sur les cœurs il n’y a pas de prix
Je veux tout tout de suite et ici

Je veux tout l’image claire et la floue
sur mes sentiments illimité
Je travaille pour l’amour sans rendez-vous
Je veux voler sans me faire rattraper

Le vide, je vais le remplir
De bon ou de mauvais souvenir
Le vide je veux le remplir
Avant que mon âme s’assèche et que je craque

Je veux tout
Le silence et les promesses
Le rigide et la souplesse
Je veux tout
L’anarchie et la sagesse
Ton sourire et puis tes fesses

Avant que mon âme s’assèche et que je craque

Je veux tout,  Ariane Moffatt

It’s a Fight

See I’m the king of the ring ring
Ring the bell and I’m comin out swing swing
Swingin’ left swingin’ right till they ding ding
He hit da ground bounce up like a spring spring
Hit em again now like a birdie start to sing sing
Bright lights cameras flashing like bling bling
He started seeing things now I got em heads and knees
on the floor crawl up to the corner crying
I’m the man there’s no defeating
The ground you will be eating
I’m ready sharp non stop this is easy
Put em out da game like his name is Milli Vanilli

We gon hit em wit da left, hit em wit da right
We gon hit em wit da left, hit em wit da right
It’s a fight it’s a fight head busta head busta
It’s a fight it’s a fight head busta head busta

It’s a Fight, Three 6 Mafia
