Sexy?

I had the greatest experience of my life yesterday! So, last week, on a whim, I decided to join a boxing gym. Well, I wasn’t sure if I was going to join, so I signed up for a free class. I looked forward to the class all weekend. I could barely contain myself during work yesterday. I was literally giddy with excitement. I grew up in karate. I did it for about 8 years. I was close to getting my black belt when I stopped for several years. Then I had a few medical issues which kind of kept me away. I thought maybe a boxing gym would give me the same happiness which karate brought me so many years ago. I went to the gym early yesterday as I was told to. I walked in and checked in with the guy at the front desk. I was slightly intimidated by the two muscley dudes at the front desk. But, I decided to just go with it. I told them how excited, yet nervous, I was. The guys were real cool and kind of explained everything for me. One of the guys wrapped my hands with the hand wrap things, and made a joke about me being a ninja. He walked me over and introduced me to the instructor. I chatted with a couple girls in the class, explaining how uncontrollably excited I was. I think I smiled way too much for a boxing gym. The class was amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever sweat so much in my entire life!! I’ve also never felt so at home in an exercise class. I just felt like I belonged there, punching the stuffing out of these 150lb bags. I haven’t felt more at ease with life than I did during that class!

After the class, the boy at the front desk offered to spar with me. I told him I’d have to raincheck that, cause I could barely stand. He hooked me up with so much stuff! He gave me $120 worth of free membership, free use of gloves, free hand wraps, and a free glove key chain. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he was flirting with me. I think he was just amused that I was so awkward and giddy compared to the normal people who frequent a boxing gym. I was sweaty and smelly. My hair was a mess. I could barely stand. I doubt he was flirting with me. And, I mean, it’s a boxing gym. That’s not exactly sexy for a girl. Sexy is yoga, or pole dancing classes. Strip tease classes. I don’t think punching a bag for an hour is sexy for a girl. It’s sexy to watch a guy do it. But not a girl. It’s like the opposite of feminine. Although, I’ve been talking a lot to this Army Officer and he was kind of excited about this class. He asked if I would drink beer and watch UFC with him. I told him that of course I would. But, is that a good thing? I mean, is the girl you want to watch UFC with the girl you want to date, or the girl you want to drink beers with until you go find your yoga, stretchy hottie? It doesn’t matter either way. I won’t trade boxing for anything! I’ve finally found something that makes me excited about life, and makes me feel normal! I called TB right after to tell him how stoked I was, and he said he could tell how happy I sounded. I was happy. Really, really happy!
