Bootcamp

I am doing a bootcamp class with my boxing trainer the second week in August and I am really excited about it! I have the gloves I posted here, but mine are pink :)

The Bootcamp will be from 5-7am, I am taking that week off from work to focus on that, plus just have a little time off. I may do the afternoon classes as well, as long as I feel up to it (2-a-days!!). We will see.

My trainer is Sammie "Sosa" Milhouse (see picture from the Iron Clutch Fitness website). He is really good. He is a Golden Glove Champion in Georgia (he won another fight today as a matter of fact!!). He really cares about the people in his class, and I can't wait to spend 2 hours a day working out with him!!

Chickens Anyone?

I just got done reading "Coop: A Family, A Farm, and the Pursuit of One Good Egg" and it was really good. The author is Michael Perry. He lives in Wisconsin with his wife and two girls, and they have a small farm. The book is about how he gets started raising chickens and pigs. They have laying chickens and chickens that they raise to eat, and they eat the pigs as well.

The laying chickens sounded like they were so much fun! Plus they give you fresh eggs!

Someday, I want to have a flock of chickens. I want to raise them from babies and have them living in my backyard! Not where I currently live, of course...I don't think we are zoned for livestock (haha!!!), and as Emily said, "Mom, when would you have time for this flock of chickens, between work, school, working out, and keeping track of Alex?". She has a point.

But someday...it might be fun!
