Ramping up, trimming down

So, my weight goal is 135-140.  I started to weigh myself daily to hold myself accountable.  Starting out, I was 146 (almost 147). I know I  have 7 pounds to loose (maybe more).  Not just that I care so much about the scale, but also my pants - and more importantly my fight shorts- are tight.   As of this morning I am 144. 


Already I am almost in range, with a little more than 10 weeks to go.  The weight will come off as I am doing cardio. If I can swing it, I'd like to be 140, less fat more muscle than I have now.


Last night, training was good. Got myself a fist pump for smashing the Thai pads.  Max and I did 3 rounds each before class, then 4 rounds in class.  The fourth round was more technique oriented, so I tried to give it my all for three rounds.  Jeff will be amping up the rounds, length of rounds, and then ramping it back down to what we will see on fight day.  Sounds like a great idea.


In other news I told Jeff teacher about my fight. The guy who helped with my health and such.  He asked if he could watch, gave me LOTS of compliments and some advice.  Such an honor to hear (or see rather) those words.  Hopefully, he is there.  


Next week, I will be asking my fellow training partner, Nicole to be my number 2 corner. Very exciting stuff.


Work is busy, earlier this week there was a rumor more work is coming down the pipe but I haven't seen it yet. So for now its normal working hours, and time for me to train.  Going to try to keep this balance as consistently as I can.
