Weekly Boxing update – Making Weight, or trying to?

I'm trying to hit a target. 106kg, for some this may be easy, for others, like myself, may seem like a real stretch target. I work in an office where the average weight is probably 20kg less than my target.  I have to hit 106kg for the boxing on the 30th of July. We completed... Continue Reading →

Week 6 Boxing Update – The Hill

You guys and gals know how this goes, first I tell you about the bad, then I go on to the good. This weeks writing is no different. So here comes the bad bits.

Face pain and other good things. 😛

Hi Everyone, this is another update on the trials and tribulations of my journey through an 8 week boxing program.  First let's get the bad out of the way. We did some sparring this weekend.

Boxing Weekly Update – The Struggles

Wedding day thoughts.

I woke up this morning, looked out of the window and saw the weather. It's a rotten day outside. It's rain and sleet, the sky is gray and you know what I just don't care.  Today is the day I get married to the person I fell in love with the first time I saw... Continue Reading →

Snowballs are Great

I'll start this post with a little history. When I was young I was terrible with money, my sister, great with money, I was the polar opposite, mounting up a mass of debt and not knowing what to do with myself. It took years of desperation to find snowballing. This is the process of paying... Continue Reading →
