Lipstick on my Gloves: June 2013
http://lipstickonmygloves.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Lipstick on my Gloves. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. A few years ago I noticed a high school friend posting pictures of himself boxing on Facebook. I learned that he was training to compete in an amateur boxing match through Haymakers for Hope ( http:/ haymakersforhope.org/. An organization whose mission is "to knockout cancer the only way we know how,by literally fighting for a cure." I was intrigued. For the next 4 months I am going to soak up the pain and glory of this once in a lifetime experience. I a...

Lipstick on my Gloves: July 2013
http://lipstickonmygloves.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Lipstick on my Gloves. Monday, July 29, 2013. Training 6 days a week when you have 4 kids is challenging.especially in the summer when camp has ended and they're home all the time. Sometimes Dave leaves work early for me to make a night class, and other times I pay a babysitter. On weekends they stay home with Dave, but this week I tried what I thought would be a disaster.I brought them to the gym. What happened was possibly the best thing that will happen on this journey. My kids saw me training. I'm so...

Lipstick on my Gloves. Tuesday, October 22, 2013. Fight Night - Behind the Scenes. All the hard work was over. We had done everything possible to prepare in the past 4 months. It was now show time. I woke up and had a very normal morning.making breakfasts and lunches, packing snacks, walking the kids to the bus and then I started packing my boxing and overnight bags. The Royale looked fantastic in pink! I was going to be in the blue corner, which meant that I was wearing a white shirt and black trunks.

Lipstick on my Gloves. Wednesday, September 18, 2013. Less than a month til fight! I feel great. Physically, I'm healthy and working hard. Mentally, I'm ready.

You guys are making me soft though! If that weren't enough to make me cry then here's the message that came with it. Are you kidding me? I appreciate tha...

http://lipstickonmygloves.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Lipstick on my Gloves. Monday, August 5, 2013. I had my first exhibition match on Saturday night, August 3rd. This was not a sanctioned fight, but an event where fighters who are in training for a match can come in front of a small crowd and see what they've got. Let me set the scene.it was hosted by Boston Boxing. It was very fun to go back to my corner after each round and get the game plan and spit bucket from Sione and Kathy. I felt like a champ. :) I love them even more than I did before bec...
