Boxing...

These are my fists, firmly ensconced in 12 oz women's boxing gloves. My trainer purchased these from Amazon.  She plans to use them with selected clients. In my case, to rapidly raise my heart rate while giving my upper body a work out, which means more cardio for me. She and I had some fun this morning watching my fists fly while trying to focus on technique. At one point, she was concerned about me aiming a bit high lest I accidentally knock her over. Boxing from a wheelchair is a bit different.
One does not have to worry over foot work or placement. However, it helped tremendously that I remembered to lock the chair in place before punching...

I'm not normally a fan of pink, but when these were removed from their case, I laughed...

Until Next Time...

A Picture For Those Who Wondered...

Yes, that is really my ear and one of the pearl earrings mentioned in the previous post. For those interested, the outing on Thursday was wonderful. My young neighbour and I were two of four adults in the theatre. Our film of choice was Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, which we both enjoyed thoroughly. I thought that my neighbour, who loves typical Hollywood fare, might not enjoy British humour. I was wrong. He loved it and was delighted by the story and the romance. He did say that this wasn't the kind of film one could leave and come back to without missing much and he is right about that.

The particular theatre we visited was a bit of a drive, but as the only venue currently showing this film, it was also lovely, except for some construction or remodeling, which we were able to avoid entirely, thanks to good signage. Being a weekday, there were no crowds and minimal traffic, so parking was a breeze. Seeing films during the week is a habit I could easily adopt. I am grateful that my neighbour was willing to make this trip since the public transportation between counties would have been dicey at best.

Until Next Time...
