Monday mitt-work was great.  In MMA class following that, we did a lot of various wrestling stuff the whole class, and that messes me up. -_-; Not like serious bed-ridden stuff, but I couldn&#8217;t function so well the rest of the week.  Monday&#8217;s technique was awesome and it was good practice&#8230;.but yeah. <\/p>\n<p>Tuesday I did the jiu-jitsu class!! \ud83d\ude00 Everybody else did MMA\/kickboxing sparring and I felt like wuss, which makes NO sense since I have a grappling competition coming up, and I need to be doing more grappling anyway. I&#8217;ve been enjoying  Vinny&#8217;s jiu-jitsu classes.<\/p>\n<p>(come see me compete in Fightblok!

I got the super teeny tiny ones, which stresses me out because they don&#8217;t listen, and punch and kick each other sometimes. Good thing they are cute&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday I did mitts and then yoga, and did bunches of chores.  Kids and client in the afternoon and evening and then COUPLE&#8217;S THERAPY was on TV. x_x;<\/p>\n<p>Thursday I thought I could do hard kickboxing\/mma sparring but my body was like &#8220;No.&#8221; I regretted not doing the grappling class.  I got really upset on Thursday. \ud83d\ude41  grrrr  And my chiropractic treatment hurt so much I was crying.  I had to quit class to go get it done, and then I hear from the other side of the gym, &#8220;ROXY!! GET OVER HERE! PICTURE!&#8221;  John actually took the time to call me over for a group picture, even though I couldn&#8217;t finish class, which was really sweet and I hated myself a little bit less. lol <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/yndicate-sparring-group.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/yndicate-sparring-group.jpg\" alt=\"yndicate sparring group\" width=\"613\" height=\"499\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5039\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Friday I took off.  When I don&#8217;t train, I use my energy and clean the apartment.  I washed all the floors on my hands and knees, vacuumed, cleaned the bathroom mirror, and picked up stuff and put stuff away.<\/p>\n<p>Non-training stuff&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I went to <strong>Tuff-Nuff<\/strong> in the evening in the Orleans Casino!  That was nice.  Saw some fights, met some fighters and fans and sold some T-shirts.  Great event!<\/p>\n<p>I became sponsored by <strong>Wartape<\/strong>!  They make tape and hand-wraps. I like their tape because it&#8217;s stickier than like Walmart brand and doesn&#8217;t roll off so much, but not SO sticky that it&#8217;s gonna peel my skin off when I remove it.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/war-tape-sponsorship-pic.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/roxannemodafferi.net\/RBlog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/war-tape-sponsorship-pic.jpg\" alt=\"war tape sponsorship pic\" width=\"484\" height=\"484\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5038\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Saturday I still felt crappy so training was a challenge, but I enjoyed jiu-jitsu and had a super fun sparring round with Casey.  He&#8217;s probably my top favorite person to roll with at Syndicate.  I did a few rounds of MMA with Jamie and Liz and then dragged myself to a birthday luncheon, which was really lovely.  My headache\/neck-ache partly went away by the time I got there.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday evening I wanted to see Bellator but that didn&#8217;t work out. That&#8217;s all I&#8217;m gonna say. \ud83d\ude41 <\/p>\n<p>So about my <strong>book<\/strong>, I don&#8217;t have any physical copies left right now. They are all sold out! But you can buy a digital version on Kindle on Amazon.com<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com.au\/dp\/B00LIBECPO\/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_awd_fy7qub041YVC2\" title=\"link to book on amazon\" target=\"_blank\">linky to book on amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sunday I did <strong>yoga<\/strong>, watched lots of the TV series <strong>LOST<\/strong>, which I really like so far.  I&#8217;m on episode 6 now.  Then, I went shopping with my new student Valerie at Wholefoods. I gave her a nutrition lesson and she bought me some stuff. \ud83d\ude00 <3 Thank you!\n\nI feel like sh*t today. I feel like should train with Jamie in the MMA practice because she has a fight coming up, but I dunno.  Maybe I'll  do jiu-jitsu. These choices are hard. Normal people don't understand. lol *sigh*  I'm supposed to love Mondays and I'm already bummed out.  I feel like writing something but. :(  I wish today weren't gi-day at jiu-jitsu.  I want to do no-gi stuff.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, training. Well, last week was not the best week in the world because my body&#8217;s been giving me trouble.
