Constructive Criticism

I was working out with Igor today, and it was going well.  We started our regular end of session boxing a little early.  Sweet, extra time punching stuff.  But then it just turned.  Or I just turned.  I felt like I was doing it right.  I felt like my body was doing what I was telling it to do.  A couple of times I felt my hands drop, and I did try to correct myself before he had to say anything, but alas, he still noticed. 

Then I was doing some drills on the bag, and he pointed out that I wasn't pivoting my toes and that I was doing something wrong with my arms with how I was throwing.  It was like a switch just flipped inside of me.  I turned and tried to walk it off before I finished the drill.  Igor even asked me what was wrong.  The anger just flared inside of me.  I didn't tell him though.  I felt all these crazy emotions rise up inside of me and I wanted to cry.  The tears filled my eyes, but I held it in.  Then when I was alone in my car, I couldn't cry at all.  I don't know what any of that means.

I don't even want to list any successes for today.  I feel like my bad attitude, cupcakes, and emotional eating undermined everything successful that I did today.  Crap.  :(
