I felt dizzy like 3 times. x_x A lady next to me said she felt nauseous. <\/p>\n<p>Like this:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.angelfire.com\/anime2\/starblazer\/images\/vegeta_goku_tired3.jpg\" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" class=\"alignnone\" \/><br \/>\nI usually try to pick out a regular and watch them and base my performance on them.  On the other hand, if nobody else around me can balance, I don&#8217;t feel so bad if I can&#8217;t.  My thighs were so sore from Fridays&#8217;s training that I was having trouble doing the squatting poses. *feels wimpy* \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>ANYWAY then I went to sparring, determined to just avoid kicking with my left foot.  IN MY FIRST MATCH my right foot slammed into someone&#8217;s &#8230;.something and omfg it hurt like hell.  I&#8217;m trying to pay attention to distance. It was a sloppy kick and I&#8217;m so mad at myself.<\/p>\n<p>I felt like this:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.toy-tma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/Vegeta-Screaming-580x426.jpg\" width=\"580\" height=\"426\" class=\"alignnone\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I fought three more rounds trying to ignore it, but finally I couldn&#8217;t walk anymore, so I sat out with an ice pack.<\/p>\n<p>SO PISSED OFF.<\/p>\n<p>I sat there watching everyone sparring, thinking about that night.  Raquel Pennington fighting Jessica Andrade. It could have been me. If I had won my fight, I would still be in the UFC. :{<\/p>\n<p>I sat there dwelling and dwelling.  I had goals for sparring.  I hadn&#8217;t accomplished them yet.<br \/>\n<em>You&#8217;re not training to be the best in the world, you&#8217;re training to be the best in the world on your worst day.<\/em> ~Ronda.<br \/>\n<em>So your foot hurts&#8230;you&#8217;re going to stop training because of your dumb foot?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>F- you body!<br \/>\nLike this:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dblegends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/t640_6024971.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone\" \/><\/p>\n<p> So set a new goal &#8211; keep sparring!  I went back and sparred TWO MORE ROUNDS! \ud83d\ude00  And thus felt not like a wuss and very accomplished.  I did okay not kicking with either of my legs.<\/p>\n<p>Then, I decided to do a spinning backfist on my partner.  He decided to step into it and my forearm hit&#8230;some bone.  His arm or shoulder?<\/p>\n<p>AAAAA! I thought my arm was fractured, it hurt so much.  Holy sh*t I couldn&#8217;t move it.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/gohan-hurt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/gohan-hurt.jpg\" alt=\"gohan hurt\" width=\"260\" height=\"485\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4431\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p> I&#8217;m proud of myself that I finished the round by jabbing and stalling rather than just give up.<\/p>\n<p>But that was the end of that.  About an hour later, I could start using my hand again.  It still hurts, but it&#8217;s not broken. x_x thank goodness!!<\/p>\n<p>I relate a lot to Vegeta.  Not personality wise, but life- wise.  He struggles so hard and can never catch up to Goku.  He&#8217;s always second best.  And it infuriates him. Just like me. But he&#8217;s strong as nails. I seem to reach the top, and then blow my big chance. (Strikeforce title fight, UFC fight). But he never gives up. And neither will I.<\/p>\n<p>I just had super bad luck this week in regards to getting banged up. ~_~;; Like, geez. THANK GOODNESS it&#8217;s nothing super major that requires surgery! :} There&#8217;s usually something minor going on, but this week has been like four things at the same time. If you believe in the Law of Attraction, I&#8217;m doing it to myself.  It states that we attract what fills our minds. so what should I do, try not to think about injuries?!  <\/p>\n<p>I really enjoyed going over my coach&#8217;s house and watching the UFC with them.  Nothing like a team to cheer you up when you&#8217;re bummed out.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/crew-over-johns-for-ufc-3.15.14-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/crew-over-johns-for-ufc-3.15.14-2.jpg\" alt=\"crew over johns for ufc 3.15.14 -2\" width=\"512\" height=\"512\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4433\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Except I miss Heather.
