I have my first fight in a year on Sunday. I’m fighting my brain more than anything right now.
But I’m working. Doubles every day. Sparring & bike in my sauna suit (3lbs left to drop.)
I’ll see yall on the other side. #SamiferSweats

Not shadows, but sweat. Only 3.5 miles today and not the entire time running. I’m working with some lower back pain so I modified when needed. #SamiferSweats

This ain’t your pretty insta influencer with the filters and aesthetics. Just #SamiferSweats, tryin to up her shit again. Bag work, rope, shadowboxing, and a quick run before work. We gon get there.

“How are you feeling?”

Well. I didn’t cry today. And my ass looks great in these jeans. We’ll call it a win.

1:1 today, 2 mi run, bag work, jump rope.

TW: weight talk, eating disorder(?)

Not every day is great. My weight isn’t moving. Yesterday I resorted to binge eating. It’s a thing I’m working on in therapy. My point is, the journeys you see online are just highlights. It’s messy. But I’m choosing to believe it’s worth the work. #SamiferSweats

Looks like I did more than I did. Wasn’t the best calorie burn but 45 min on the bike this morning. Didn’t feel like driving to the gym.
I gotta push or I’m not making this weight for golden gloves. I need a mindset shift.

#SamiferSweats Still working on losing pounds for Golden Gloves. Skill in the sport seems stagnant so shifting focus so I don’t want to walk in traffic. 🫠

Not all days are good ones in this journey. And that’s ok.

4 rounds sparring, 5k. Last day of work. #SamiferSweats #ChangesComin

#SamiferSweats
Four 1 minute rounds with a girl training for a charity boxing event, then three 2 minute rounds with a girl who had been watching and just wanted to get in lol
5k today, not 10– but still a decent workout.

10k after work. Broken into 2 cuz the treadmill workout is only an hour + 5 min cooldown

I’ve still been on it. Came back home last Tuesday, had a 1:1 Wednesday, sparring Friday and Saturday, workouts throughout. Coach ran me ragged today w/conditioning but we’re in fight mode. Golden Gloves will be here before I know it.

Tired woman sits in a car with a cup of hot coffee at an ungodly hour, likely contemplating what got her to this place in life.

Good morning. It is 545am. I have been up since 430 to get things done before leaving for sparring.

I may have lost my mind. #SamiferSweats #FightWeek

Not my coach telling me I’m getting shark tanked for my last day of sparring on Monday & to make sure I get there early so we can start promptly at 7am. 😩🫠

Shark tanked: one person stays in the ring for sparring and 2-3 others rotate, usually 30 sec break between rounds.

Fitness+ breakdown of a five mile run including time, distance, average heart rate, and calories burned.

Y’all I have never run 5 miles before. In my LIFE. I’m emotional. #SamiferSweats

7am 5k. The layers are part due to the cold, part to help sweat out some extra in this weight cut. Holy shit. Two weeks out. #SamiferSweats On to sparring.

“Why am I so tired it’s 7pm 😭”

…might be the 7am sparring and the 5pm sparring today. #SamiferSweats
Also #SamifersDumb

Tryin to get past this mental block because I know it’s the root of the physical block in sparring/fighting.
Five rounds tonight sigh Claire. Good to have someone different to get in with. #SamiferSweats

Proof I do move my fuckin head, despite what one of the coaches says 😂 #ImWorkinOnIt #SamiferSweats
Four rounds in a row, break, two more.

Sparring partner felt ill and didn’t come. Got a 1/2 mile warmup run, the another girl was there & said she’s always wanted to get in…so we did. Not hard sparring but got to work on movement & volume. She said she’s excited to come back. Finished the night with 10 rounds on the bag. #SamiferSweats
