Thursday 05/03/09
Went running in the evening. Ran for just over an hour without stopping. Took it at a moderate enough pace so probably covered around 11K ish.
No calorie deficit (or very small, maybe 300). No access to weighing scales.
Friday 06/03/09
Walked a good bit, but didn't exercise. By the time I got home I was banjaxed from all the travelling so just kicked back.
Around a 700 calorie deficit. No access to a weighing scales in the morning, so no weigh in.
Saturday 07/03/09
Weight 64.3KG. Happy enough with that. Starting to look leaner alright. Forgot that the home scales is slightly heavy, so that's nice.
Going training in the club later. Looking forward to it. Expect to run a 700-1000 calorie deficit today.0 -

Thursday 12/03/09 (and Friday 13/03/09)
Weight was a disappointing 64.5 yesterday morning (and again this morning) though i did feel bloated and that has only gone today.
Ran a calorie deficit yesterday. Decided to front load the weight loss now since my fitness and strength are both good and weight isn't shifting the way I'd like. Don't want to have any crazy weight to lose in the last week.
Did two MT sessions yesterday. Enjoyed both a lot. Slept terribly last night. Seems 2 sessions in one day doesn't agree with my sleep. Taking a rest day today.0 -
Saturday 14/03/09
Weight was 64.1KG.
Went to the usual training session today. Got my nose busted open by one of the less experienced lads in the first round of sparring.
First time that's happened to me at the gym. Weirdly, I can smell really clearly since. Good padding session though, which was nice. 0 -

Weight 63.3KG.
Was a bit short on time at lunch today. Did my 5 rounds on the pads and ran a mile.
Will go running later to make a decent deficit for today. Getting tired of running a calorie deficit. Really looking forward to the day after the fight. Hope to have another fight 5 weeks after it, so not having to lose a chunk of weight for that will be nice. 0 -

Weight was 63.7 this morning which is high for now but I felt really bloated (still do a bit). I think it's because I've been eating a lot of fruit and veg over the last while and my body's still adjusting.
Anyway, I think my "real" weight is around 63KG at the moment (allowing for the bloating and my slightly heavy scales). That leaves around 1KG of normal bodyweight to go and 1.5-2KG of water / food weight with 9 days to weigh in. Tired of dieting tbh.
No more moaning.
Went for a run after dinner last night like I said I would. Enjoyed it more than I expected (not a fan of running). It's a lot more enjoyable when you're fit. Lets you take in the scenery a bit more.
Going swimming at lunchtime today for a few reasons: Good for breathing control, moderate for calorie burning and I enjoy it.
Training tonight.0 -

Weight was 63.2 this morning (so under 63 given the scales). Pleased enough with that. Yesterdays bloating was really bloating. I feel better today as a result.
Yesterday I tried having a (very) light breakfast before leaving the house (I've a long commute to work) to try to keep the calories low before lunchtime. This was a total disaster. Didn't feel decent until after training yesterday evening. Treated myself to a high calorie breakfast this morning (~600 calories, around 40g of which were protein). Good for the head as well as the tummy. Feel really good today.
Focus has to be on weight loss a bit for now so I'm going to go running this evening and work strength throughout the day by doing chinups. I'll post my total tomorrow. 0 -
Sunday 29/03/09
Weight was 62.1 this morning. I got another scales. The old one is f*cked it seems. I suppose it helped me though, by being horribly over. I calibrated the new one to make sure it was correct (or as sure as I can be).
Anyway, Friday I did a measly 22 chin ups (12, then 10 later) but went for a run in the evening. Saturday went training in the day time and went for a walk in the evening. Going running tonight (Sunday's supposed to be my rest day, but I've got ants in my pants and a run doesn't really take it out of me that much).
T-Minus 1 week and it'll all be over, i'll be locked on 2 pints and holding a filthy kebab (and / or a shiner).
I've another one lined up for 5 weeks after it.0 -

Weight 62.0 this morning. About perfect. Weight cutting starting to annoy me a bit. I actually don't mind the pre-weight in not eating / not drinking bit that much (or at least, that's what I say now).
Worked what I consider the weaker side of my game at lunchtime (like I have one. Amirite? High five anyone?). Normal training session this evening.
<moan>Getting very tired of getting home late in the evening. Really looking forward to a few days off after the fight.</moan>
Less than 5 days now. Less nervous than I expected to be. I feel confident in my own ability anyway. My fitness is really good. Strength is really good and that'll help in the clinch. Skill is about bang on for C class fighting. Not really concerned about the bare shin on shin aspect of it (though I hate that sound when I'm watching fights.....*shudder*). Everyone says you don't feel a thing anyway. I'll find out soon enough. 0 -

been following your log your weight has come down nicely, just a couple of questions re the weight in, wen do you weigh in? (24 hours before the fight?) and when do you stop eating before the weigh? (24 hours before that?)0 -

Thanks for reading.
Weigh in is supposed to be 24 hours beforehand for pro fights (can be as little as 2 hours for amateur). Because we're
flying in, then straight on the scales it'll be around 18 or 20 hours (ish). Should be plenty of time for a full recovery anyway.
Fluid and food restriction will start 24 hours before the weigh in alright. There are a few other things that I'll be doing which should make some difference too. Nothing crazy like laxatives or sweat suits or anything though.0 -

Just got home. Lost a very close, hard fight on points. Thought I'd done enough to shave it to be honest. One judge scored it a draw (which I would have been happy with), the other two scored it for my opponent. I heard after that all three judges were from his gym. Anyway, it was a really good scrap. I learned a shed load. Have a nice shiner too. 0

Richard Chesler: [Reading a piece of paper] The first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club?
Narrator: [Voice-over] I'm half asleep again; I must've left the original in the copy machine.
Richard Chesler: The second rule of Fight Club - is this yours?
Narrator: Huh?
Richard Chesler: Pretend you're me, make a managerial decision: you find this, what would you do?
Narrator: [pauses] Well, I gotta tell you: I'd be very, very careful who you talk to about that, because the person who wrote that... is dangerous.
[Gets up from the chair]
Narrator: [Talking slowly] And this button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho might just snap, and then stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers. This might be someone you've known for years. Someone very, very close to you.
WHAT A FILM!

Cheers. Next fight is just over 4 weeks away now. Looking forward to it already. Would love to do a fight a month for the next while, just to build up experience.
Weight was 64.5 this morning. I've been eating crap the last few days though. Gonna start back training tomorrow. 0 -
