MMA and me; day 8

I'd like to consider myself a decent athlete, and I know that despite that athleticism, I still wont be picking things up right away. In my head, I expect myself to get the hang of things right away, and when I don't, I get frustrated. During boxing class last night, I was having a hard time with my footwork, and it was really bugging me. I'm not going to be a world class boxer, I know this. I'm also not going to be a half decent striker, so I think I need to stop being so hard on myself and remember why I'm doing this. All in all, I'm having fun, and the weight is starting to come off, so all else be damned.

Jiu jitsu class was more arm triangles, which was fun, and then some light grappling. My downfall, was not eating properly yesterday. I had a decent breakfast before noon, but then didn't eat hardly at all between then and class, big mistake. I need to make sure I'm fueling my body, as well as hydrating it. I've been going to the gym for nearly a month now, and that was the second worst I felt after a class, with number one being the first day. Let's just say, it wont happen again.
