Monday weigh in

Weight today 220.

I held on at 220 this week and at this point I'm used to that. It only starts to bug me after 3 weeks of holding because I am convinced that things are changing the scale does not see. First off I know how I feel and I also can see things like my forearms or ankles...I can tell that progress goes on that does not show up as a lost # on the scale (that can be measured in 7 days).

21 days is a different story and to me signifies either that I am slacking off or I have reached a new mile marker that requires more effort to get results.

For the virtual fight at 205 idea.....

It was a fun idea but it's not going to work for several reasons. :(

What I can say is that I got to a gym with my buddy Shaun and he showed me some Mui Thai techniques that were eye opening. I have never seen how to throw a Mui Thai leg kick properly. I had also never been hit with one....it hurts. :) Due to some introspective thinking I've decided that I really do want to get in a gym and learn various fighting styles I have not seen before and possibly get some instruction but my reasons are a lot different than I thought they were. I am not looking for the healthy competition in that arena..... I just like hitting things and learning how to hit them harder/smarter than the average Joe. Just how terribly rusty you get after taking about 20 years off of martial arts was brutally obvious in the first 10 seconds of hitting the bag. I don't like being that rusty and "unprepared" those are the reasons I'll pursue something to remedy that not because I want to test my skills and go for a trophy, ribbon , or patch. I used to hate that back in the day and only wanted to train and spar. Tests, competitions, breaking demos....I hate that stuff.

Anyway it's Monday and work is calling me. Booo work. -:
