My Daily ASS WHOOPING!

Liz's ASS getting WHOOPED

...and its not the ass whooping I wanted... :)
Though I knew I needed my ass kicked after 3 months in India... and training twice per day for about 2-3 hours per session is MOST certainly doing that! I do LOVE LOVE LOVE it... but it really does put you in your place and forces you to have a fuckin' think about it.

Besides the muscular pain, which was expected! The bruising plus the shin and knee bruising / damage is something else. Oh yeah and cardio...I won't even write about that. I know I will harden up in the coming weeks...but 4 days in and I am claiming that "I'm a girl" waaaahhhh crying like a weak little B*&%H. Yep...that's me. PT of almost 12 years and writing this blog to let the world know that I am in pain!

Granted...after a session off yesterday arvo...today I was loads better. A total day off through the week, would most definitely help the recovery, but that's not till Sunday. So am sucking it up and leaving it there and will write more about it next week...

My bruised and beaten body is signing off!

hasta luego

Greek Mythology - Sappho


Sappho and Errina
Traveling on your own is fun and usually pretty random. Right down my alley. So after a nice arvo nap and a bit website fidgeting and study. I decided to grab some food and get take away so I could keep plugging along. But at this place I go to, called "Good Life", the little Thai ladies love me and insist that I eat in. Usually its after training and I could potentially stink, so I get my take away omelet and head home to eat. Anyways... she said to me, "it better you eat in, food hotter". How could I say no to such an invitation? 

So I take a seat right next to this massive book case and grabbed the first book that jumped out at me. ahhhh Greek Mythology...ok.... Open to the contents page. ahhhhh Sappho....ok....LOL the Isle of Lesbos...

Here's the story of Sappho and her Lesbian Island

I pretty much read anything on anything these days, knowing a little about allot definitely keeps my mind entertained, even if for only 5 minutes.

Now I'm learning how to speak my own language...yeah that's right! English. Breaking it down to the balls...makes me really grateful that English is my first language. Fuck learning it, what a ball ache! But I will crack teaching it, just like Tom Hanks did the Da Vinci Code! Just call me Mizz Holman!

don't go chasing waterfalls...

please stick to rivers and the lakes that your used too...

amazing, imagined waterfall

I added this random 'google' image, becUZ...I went chasing a waterfall today and am going to imagine that this is what I missed out on...Hang on wait! That actually makes me feel pretty shit...But for the 5 hour effort I put in, I should have seen something like this...

BUT... don't get me wrong!! I am 100% aware it is about the journey and not the destination....

I didn't bring a camera, because it was a totally spontaneous hike that I decided to venture out on. I literally jumped onto the back of a scooter with a guy from "Portland, Oregon", Caza, that I met a few nights before, with the "Yellow Sun O.M.G crew!" and headed out there. The scenery was fucking stunning and picturesque. We had to criss cross the river pretty much the whole way, climb rocks, duck under fallen trees, balance walk over some fallen trees and get 'prune feet'. It was pretty amazing. But 3 hours in, and your not there yet, and you have been told 2 hours you start to wonder. Then the TLC song came into my head and now I totally get it...LOL But nevertheless. NORTH THAILAND IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. MAS BONITO!
