The Weekend

Hope your weekend looks something like this!

Going Down Swinging

Happy Friday! Which has taken on a whole new meaning now that I'm employed.
I've decided to try my hand (har har) at boxing. By that, I mean I went to one class and my arms are noodles, but I loved it. It was so refreshing to get an upper-body workout and plus, boxing doubles as self-defense. I may make this official and spring for a pair of my own hand wraps. Have you ever tried boxing? What do you think of it?

Have a wonderful and crisp fall weekend!
