Weight = 203 lbs

Drove the hour to the boxing club... got there at 6 PM

3 x 2 Min Rounds on Pads... then switched and held pads for my partner... I felt very fast last night even though my legs still felt like jello from skiing the night before.

The rest of the evening spent on various bag drills throughout the gym... mostly heavybag... but did get to all stations... basically 2 minutes on and 1 minute rests

Left the gym at 7:30 as they were closing up early last night...

Drove the hour back home... ate a BLT sandwich on whole wheat... haha... yea that's not such a great way to loose weight but it was good!

Decided I wanted to work out more and so headed over to the local gym... got there at 9 PM

15 x 65 lbs Preacher Curls

Four 3 minute rounds of shadow boxing at full speed... planning for Friday night sparring... 1 min rests. I didn't monitor heart rate that much... the one time I did take it, was after the 2nd or 3rd round and my heart rate was 160.

Couple of things I noticed tonight... feels a lot more natural to throw a double left hook low and then go high as compared to throw high and then go low... timing just doesn't seem as easy... don't know why that is, I am going to have to study on this one...

Talked to a couple of the pro fighters in the gym... one of the pro fighters is interested in getting in more sparring time... so am I... so we might start meeting on Saturdays as well as Friday nights to spar.

Talked to a guy that owns the local MMA school/club in my hometown... they spar on Sunday... he said that if I came in on Sunday's that they would let me spar with them... but that they would only work on stand-up... wouldn't take me down... haha... I have no desire to be in a grappling match at this point...

Feeling good... it was a good workout... starting to get back into shape... now if I can just get my wind back it will all be good...
