Today is Day Zero.
Weight: 169.6
My birthday is on June 3rd, 2010 and that is exactly 52 days from now.
My goal by my birthday is to get down to my goal weight of 150 pounds and have less than 19% body fat. I want to be in fighting shape so that when I get to my goal, I can enter into an amateur mma bout.
There are alot of things that I already see myself having troubles with.
1) Drinking. I have a horrible habit of drinking and it’s almost a problem. I will have to fight off the urge to drink..and if that doesn’t work…I just won’t go out.
2) Smoking (Green and Cigs). I’ve quit smoking cigarettes..but as we all know booze and ciggys are like bread and butter. They just love each other. The Green wont be as hard. The only thing that I forsee having a problem with is sleeping.
3) Diet. My diet has always been pretty good, but for the next 52 days I’m going to keep my count under 1200 calories and I’m not going to eat after 6pm. If I happen to have a late dinner (caused by late training) it will be an isopure protein shake.
4) Menal Game. I am a physically strong woman and I’m not ashamed to say it. But when it comes down to crunch time, my mind makes me run. My brain is the like the factory of negative thoughts. I need to learn to not allow my fear to run my life.
I will be training four days a week at my gym. Training will include boxing, kickboxing and gi/no gi jiu jitsu. My schedule will be like so:
Mon: boxing/jiujitsu
Tues: Jiujitsu/kickboxing
Wed: boxing/kickboxing
Thursday: Jiujitsu/kickboxing
Friday: Weights
Saturday: 9AM cardio training with the MMA team
Sunday: Weights with dad
I will have photos posted everyday of progress (physical) as well as my weight and if I was naughty.
Here we go, 52 days and counting.
