Yes yes, I am back thanks to someone sending me a nice gift 
. Thanks!
At any rate, I've been uber busy and not around at all. Ya wanna know why?
Today is the day of my first Muay Thai fight. I had about 5 weeks to dump almost 10 lbs. Last week I got down to 119 and I'm fighting at 118. I think I'm probably 118 this morning although I haven't weighed myself. Yeah, I am skinny looking but it's hot and I lost a lot of my junk in the trunk. It's okay.
So yeah, I've been doing school shit and then working out for 12-13 hours a week, 5-6 days a week, for the past month to get ready. The training load was a lot and the last few weeks I was feeling major fatigue bu then this week was just training down to recover my energy. Now I just have 10 hours until weigh in.
I'm fighting a woman from Boston. It'll be both our first fights. Nervous but fucking looking forward to eating food!
To lose the weight I basically started eating small meals every 3 hours and limited my caloric intake to 1800-2000 calories a day (an average workout day can burn over 1000 calories for me). I cut out carbs after 2 pm and whatever carbs I did have were whole wheat. Almond butter was my best friend because I put it in my oatmeal to tide me over until my next meal. I tried to eat my last meal by 7:30 pm at the latest and kept all my food super clean. No/minimal salt and fats. Which meant a lot of seafood, ostrich, and chicken. Very little red meat. I found it difficult to consume 1800-2000 calories of good quality food simply because the volume became overwhelming. That's when 2 tablespoons of almond butter did the trick to bump me up to my goal intake.
Today I just get to drink a tiny bit of water. No coffee. No major breakfast. Just almond butter. After 5 pm weigh in I can eat and I plan on pedialyte, a candy bar, and a clif bar to restore my glycogen/glucose. After the fights I'm going to Blue Smoke for bbq ribs and cake. So excited.
wish me luck!
