So on Wednesday, Brittany and I did lots and lots of technique practice, and I showed her cool stuff. <\/p>\n

Got a pic together with Coach John! \ud83d\ude00 These are my favorite people right here! <3\n\"bri<\/a>
\nAnd my favorite SPARTAAAAAAAAAAA <\/a>T-shirt. \ud83d\ude00 <\/p>\n

Then we went to Skyzone<\/a>, a trampoline park. I took lots of pictures of her, but for some weird reason, only a few of them actually got saved. I hate LG smart phones. ~_~ I can’t figure them out, despite being technology saavy.
\nThis is me hurling myself into a foam pit.

On Thursday, we both took it easy with a bit of private training, and went out for lunch at this healthy place called “juice n go” on Rainbow Road just past Drysdale’s. Um, it turned to be a take-out place, so we sat on the ground nearby to eat. lol
\n\"juice<\/a><\/p>\n

I told Brittany that I didn’t want to get a whole Acai bowl because it was too big to eat that plus other lunch. She laughed and then got a large and then marveled at the size. Hahaha! I got a mini. \ud83d\ude42
\n\"big<\/a>
\nPlus a turkey quesadilla. I don’t know how I felt about that. They used a spinach-wrap tortilla with a few leaves of spinach, cheese, and some chunks of turkey. Delicious, but not very substantial.
\n\"quesadilla<\/a>
\n Good thing I drank protein after practice and packed vegetables from home. As I stated in THIS <\/a>entry, I have dietary needs…<\/p>\n

We went shopping at the Las Vegas Fight Shop<\/a> for hours. haha I literally fell asleep in the chair because I was exhausted from training.
\nSo last time I went to the Fight Shop, there was a huge cardboard cut out of Chael Sonnen. I told Brittany and she got all excited, because she’s a big fan. But we didn’t see him when we went into the shop this time, so I said to the staff lady, “Where’s Chael?” She replied, “He’s in the bathroom.”<\/p>\n

HAHAHAhaha. Right? So we went about our business. The next day we went back and told a salesman about the joke. He said, “No, we really put him in the store bathroom…..”<\/p>\n

REALLY?!? So we asked them if he could get Chael out of the bathroom so we<\/strike> Brittany could take pictures with him.
\n\"brittany<\/a><\/p>\n

Haha he looks sooo real….
\nThis one was not a pose…she was moving the cardboard cutout. LOOK at the LOVING expression on her face? Haha #fangirl
\n\"loving<\/a>
\nLOL
\nYou know, I’m not going to make a comment on the recent events surrounding Chael. I think he’s inspiring and I don’t know the whole story. So yeah.<\/p>\n

Friday we all did the MMA class! \ud83d\ude00 fun fun stuff!
\nMe, Serena, and Brittany!
\n\"roxy<\/a><\/p>\n

Back in Japan, my former teammate Kenji Osawa retired and had a retirement ceremony. I used to train with him when I was at Keishukai when I first moved to Japan. Awesome fighter, even better man. (left) And I miss Kadowaki-san… (right) SO much.<\/p>\n

\"oosawa<\/a>
\nI just want to say congratulations! Otsukare sama deshita! good luck with your gym HEARTS. I hope to practice there one day soon. \ud83d\ude42 That’s where Brittany is now.<\/p>\n

On Friday night, Brittany and I went to “Real MMA” where some of my teammates fought. We stayed out late and I still haven’t caught up on my sleep yet. But it was worth it. I miss Brittany so much! ;_; I wish my body and brain didn’t just SHUT DOWN after 9:30 PM. >_< Unless I drink caffeine.\n\nBrittany went to Florida to visit her family. She's there now, having fun. <3 \n\nYesterday I was SO tired, but did mitts and MMA class and it was awesome.\n\nI still don't have a fight lined up yet. :( I hope soon. I'm ready.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
