Week 4, Days 4 & 5

Once again, I'm late posting updates, shocker.  Anyhow, here's a 15min video I made yesterday covering both Friday & Saturday's training.  Hope y'all find it interesting.

2 other things that I wanna make note of real quick:

1. Weighed in this morning at 215lbs.  I've hit my mark weeks ahead of schedule, but I'm going to continue my same diet & exercise routine.  With any luck, my weight will keep dropping & I might even have a shot at sliding into the Heavyweight division (189-202lbs).
2. Tomorrow begins Week 5, aka BOOT CAMP!  22 classes in 6 days, plus lots of sleep in between!  Tomorrow's a bit funky, because I actually still have to go to work, so I'll be getting up for the 6am class, going to work, then hitting the gym for the 3 night classes, coming home to crash, & then getting up around 5:30am to hit Tuesday's early class, as well.  I fully expect that to be a decidedly rough class!!

Week 4, Day 3

Another video.  It's under 10min this time!!

By the way!  If you wanna know who "Andrew" & "Fahs" are that I've mentioned a coupla times, check out the brand new instructional video below:

Week 4, Day 2

Rough night.

Week 4, Day 1

Sorry for the laziness of today's post.

Week 3, Day 4

Again, I'm posting late.  Sorry.  I've forgotten what I ate Friday, so unfortunately I've got noting to add here other than the recap vid:

Week 3, Day 3

Crap day at works gets turned into a fun one, just by virtue of training.  I love how that stuff works out, man!  Seriously, I was late leaving work, frustrated by the way everything was going & pissed that work had now made me late for Judo.  I showed up after warm-ups & already into drilling the first technique, but by the time randori began, I was feeling good again & by the time I walked out the door, I was smiling.  I went home, ate, & then headed back to the gym to catch the late BJJ class (sorry for skipping Muay Thai, Jon).

• Diet
• Breakfast - CHEAT 2 bacon egg cheese Croiss'anwiches, Dr. Pepper to drink
• Lunch - "Salad" Bar at Shoney's (Pork BBQ, baked beans, green beans with bacon, banana nut pudding, strawberry shortcake), sweat tea to drink
• Dinner - Chicken & pasta, lemonade to drink
• Dessert -  Chobani greek yogurt ( )
• Exercise
• Only pull-ups.  I need to stop slacking on that

So, as I said earlier, I hit Judo, skipped Muay Thai - Advanced, & then hit Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - Advanced.  Came home in between to eat, shower (mainly just rinsing the sweat off so it didn't ferment before he late class) & change.  Here's the recap:

Week 3, Day 2

OK, quick & dirty on this one, let's get her done.

• Diet
• Breakfast - bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios, Red Smoothie to drink
• Lunch - Meatball Marina sub, 10 Sour Cream & Onion, can of Dr. Pepper to drink
• Dinner - Chicken & pasta, Romain lettuce, Sweet Tea to drink
• "Dessert" - Slice of bread & butter (to mop up leftover marinara sauce & Italian dressing on dinner plate), Chobani greek yogurt (blueberry), cup of Mountain Dew to drink
• Exercise
• 2 pull-ups every time I went into the chicken (roughly 10 pull-ups)

Rather than type it all out, I decided to yammer on a bit about training tonight:

 

Lemme know what you think of the vlog-within-a-blog idea.  I like talking & being on camera, so unless y'all really hate it, I think I may transition to this from here on out.  Either leave a comment here or back on my Fb post & I'll tally the results, decided if I care & then make a decision.  Until then, I'll see y'all around the intra-webs.
