Day 1 of 25

Today is the first day of my 25lbs in 25 days, this morning I woke up hopped on the scale and said "Damn, this is gonna be a long month" hahaha . took a second looked back down at the scale and thought to myself, what have I got myself into? Those thoughts we quickly over shadowed by my voice, I said out loud to myself, " I've been here before, I've done this before and I will do it again!!" Negative thought and failure is not an option I want this too much! So with my gf still in a deep sleep in bed I went to the spare bedroom, my gym.

I hit the pavement, well not litterally I just turned on the treadmill and ran for 3 miles, cranked up the space heated that I have and ran. So about 20 min and change later I took a quick shower and ate a ceral bar for breakfast. Lay back down in bed for about 30 min then on the road. Drop the gf off at work and then straight to training.

I get to the gym, change and start to stretch. I warmed up with 3 boxing rounds on the bag as I waited for rodney my stand up coach to be done teaching his 9am class. When he was ready, we started, slowly and then picked up the pace as we got deeper into the rounds. We did 4 rounds of mitts ( just boxing) and then followed those rounds with 6 of thai pads, every round starting with 50 left and 50 right kicks. As I got deeper into the 7th round on I can feel fatigue start to set in, that's when I really started to fucus more on technique and let my instinct kick in. After ten rounds on the pads and 3 rounds on the bag, I returned to the bag for a lil extra 50 power right kicks and 50 knees. Almost done with the morning session, Conditioning... one round of kettle bell sprints, not bad right, but after that one of my trainers assisted me in doing some leg conditioning. This is to get your legs used to taking kicks and hits. So pretty much all i do is stand there and let him kick me over and over again in the quad! Fun right, but it gets better, then after 25 on each side he moves the kick up towards my ribs and what do I do still stand there with my hands above my head taking the kicks!! This is supposed to help you both with your breathing and knowing when and how to exhale upon impact. Followining this was just 100 push ups and 100 sit ups... Morning session over.

After training I did some grocery shopping, my list consist of fruits, green vegetables, and chicken. When shopping was completed I made some chicken salad mix and ate this for lunch and washed it down with nothing other than water. It is currently the afternoon and I still have to hit the gym one more time to run, and do some circut training with weights. I have to get to work, so this will conclude day one, stay tuned...
