My computer crashed so that's what took so long with the update. Since the last post it has been business as usual. Losing weight is not as challenging as I thought. I saw sub-180 for the first time since High School this past Saturday after sparring and running. This past week was spent training for a few days but I did manage to run 3 days. My word schedule has finally changed which means I can do MMA on Monday and Wednesday (awesome). I need to concentrate on my defense for July because Sifu said he is going to be getting me a "San-Da" kickboxing match. That means there will be kickboxing as well as throws and grappling. The clinch is awesome and I am in love. I personally like using my knees and then ending with a throw.
I sparred with Luch and Xavier on Saturday. I know why they have weight classes. Luch weighs around 250 and Xavier weighs about 220. They threw me pretty easily while I had a hard time throwing them (maybe got X down once). Luch said aside from the take downs I would have won the round with striking due to my kicks. That made me feel good. Also Sifu asked him to attack me with wrestling so that I could work on my takedown defense. I think my sprawl is pretty good but we shall see.
Nothing has changed on the running front. I still love doing it and even got in some sprints before my football game on Sunday. This will definitely help with shedding the pounds. I am consistently below 183 pounds and I hope by this Saturday (4/17) to be consistently below 180.
My weight goals are as follows:
May 1: 175
May 8: 172
May 15: 170
May 22: 168
May 29: 165
June 5- Fight day: 165 +Lifting
Positives:
Running started, dropping weight, not hungry, hip hurts less
Improvements:
Throw Defense, Kicking with good form and power to avoid kick-catches, constant head movement (UFC 112 Frankie Edgar!!!), regular running regimen leading to HIIT
