Day Finish ready!
So I've left a good couple of days to write my final episode of this... I did it for several reasons. One being the annoyance with myself for being under par. The other because i wanted to reflect on everything that happened..I think the most annoying thing is that i know i lost. There is no question that i did and that gets to me. I'm not going to pull out any excuses why i lost. I don't deserve that and i couldn't have done any more! I have been given a lot of support after the fight which has been really nice. A lot of commiserations and kind words which has been brilliant.... But the simple truth was that on the night he was better than me. End of. I just couldn't get myself up for some reason. I don't know why! I didn't have this adrenaline rush everyone was going on about! I didn't have fear. I didn't have nerves. It was strange. I could have walked into the ring with mike Tyson and i would have done the same. Maybe i was over owed by the occasion but i don't think i was. Maybe in the back of my mind i felt like i was gonna lose, but i didn't think that was it either. His punching was a lot better than i had ever seen it and he was far more fitter than he usually was.. On the night he seemed to find what i didn't. I felt heavy and out of breath very quickly. I don't know if its cas he hit me in the nose early on and i couldn't breath though anything but my mouth...Strange. Like the animal i am i played football the next day (scored the winner against the Germans by the way) and i had so much energy! i ran people into the ground! I don't know, i just know that this will not be my last fight! i know what to expect now walking into the ring. And lets face it. If i fought again could they pair me up with someone that is 7kg heavier, a foot taller and 15 inc bigger reach again? I mean by all accounts he should have at least knocked me out!!! I would be quite annoyed if i was that much bigger and didn't do any damage to the other person! hahahah but that's just me being petty... .i wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Just like i said before i even knew who i was fighting! I love the David vs Goliath thing....Anyway hes a nice guy and was a true gent after he won and I'm glad that if i had to lose to someone it was him.... My wife gave me great support on the night and after she was a real star too..... She helped me a lot and I'm glad she was there to watch even if i did lose!
So back to reality and regular work weeks.. at least i have my baby boy to look forward too! That will be my enjoyment from now on! I want to keep up the fitness aspect of everything so am starting back in the gym from tomorrow.... Ive had bar the fight a couple of weeks off now! So ill continue doing the gym at lunch every day and my football. Once the beginning of the baby thing is out the way ill go back to the boxing and maybe try for another fight!!!!
TO BE CONTINUED?????????

2 days left!
Day 83
With all said and done and the day of my last boxing session before fight night on Friday i honestly can say I'm ready! I'm raring to go.. the pain in my neck still hasn't subsided but the rush i get every time i think about Friday takes it away in a flash..(plus the heaps of tiger balm!) I'm done talking now! I want my fists to do the rest. Prob wont really post much more in the run up... Will def give a full summery the day after... Tomorrow i will just have a relaxing day. Need to go for our last doc appointment before the baby is born. Get Keryn looking tip top by taking her the the hair dressers. We have her dress already sorted. Hopefully she wont need anything else! Everybody has their tickets.. The adrenaline rushing through me all the time is unbelievable.. God knows what I'm gonna be like on Friday! I feel like i could run a marathon then do another one straight after just for fun! My focus is down! Loving it! cant wait! Speak to you soon! ! ! !!!! xxxxx
Peace!

Still in Pain! + Apology...
Day 83
Right something is going on! Not only is my neck still hurting but i slammed my finger in the washrooms window! I must have stepped on a crack or let a black cat cross my path! Either that or i have suddenly been warped into a basil faulty set and will soon see a no English speaking waiter come running past! The tiger balm has come out and i have now got 2 of these Panadol patches on my neck.... I went to the gym today and had a little run which was fine and then i went into the pool and just floated for a while. This seemed to help a bit. I also went into the sauna for a bit to get some heat into it...
By the way its come to my attention... well shall i say i have been told that people have taken offence to the words used in my blog.... I'm sorry if i have offended you with what Ive said, to be fair i didn't think anyone was reading this ....i do however work for i.f.s. and should have known better as i am also representing my company as this is in the public domain... I have tried to write what ever has come into my head while writing this to fully convey what I'm going through. I didn't think there was much point in writing a shopping list style blog as that would be boring, and my rants are how I'm feeling at the time. Even though the training has been hard, whats been even harder is the mental side of it. Constantly pushing yourself and beating previous targets. Having no chance to relax. A constant everyday battle with not drinking, smoking and eating what i want i think has made me insane! Even on the odd day i haven't trained and tried to relax Ive had to watch others gorging themselves on booze and food!..I have that f.o.m.o. massively..for anyone how doesn't listen to Scott miles that's : fear of missing out! And being (some what) sane i have to vent my anger somewhere and have used this as an outlet for my raw emotions. Had i not i would have taken them out in an even more inappropriate place. While writing this i think about stuff and people that have annoyed me, and sometimes profanity comes out!! Plus i hardly ever mean what i say, i just say it for effect!!!lol
I am however sorry for my language and i should be old enough now to know better....
Anyway with fight night only 3 days away and 1 last boxing session (if I'm fit enough) I'm really starting to warm to the idea of fighting! I've had lots of dreams about Friday in the last couple of days.. really vivid dreams. Like I'm actually there and its taken away some of the nerves i had. I no longer care whats gonna happen and am just going to relish every moment I'm there! I'm not gonna think about the outcome. I don't want to let the night rush past me like i did with the weigh in! I'm really looking forward. Its strange days are going past really slowly. Like my body knows something really big is coming up. Like the calm before the storm. I can never really think about much else for longer than two minute until a thought about the fight comes into my head. Ive played the fight over in my head 20-30 times....Apart from my neck i feel so ready! I can not wait! COME ON!

Last Saturday Session
Day 79+80
The last Saturday training session today. I'm gonna miss it so much... I really want to keep this up after i finish. Probably a couple of weeks rest and then i will join up so i can go Saturday and Sunday mornings at least of at turf city...No Proper training on request from Alexis since Tuesday.... So it was nice to rock it out in the gym at 8 till 10am this morning. No Joel Carpenter in sight! I don't know why. Maybe he knew there was no sparring and was gonna do his own thing..Quite a few of the boys weren't there actually so maybe it wasn't that strange. I felt absolutely brilliant at training! I had power and work rate and stamina!!!! All multiplied by the lay off! I think i might have got this spot on coming up to the last week! I need to hit peak form by this coming Friday..So footy this afternoon, surfing tomorrow, boxing Monday and Wednesday and a big run on Tuesday...Thursday nothing, and obviously Friday fight... I'm guessing Friday i will not really need to get myself in the mood! i think the 1500 people sat there will be able to do that for me! You know where you are driving along in a car and you go over a small bridge really fast. you're stomach goes up and down and you get that giddy feeling. that's the feeling I'm getting atm every time i think about stepping out on fight night! The first fight of the night as well! i know people have said that the girls fight is gonna be amazing, but i tell you what : mine isn't gonna be too bad either!!!!!! I think Joel is a very good fighter. As i said in previous posts and actually in the odds i gave before the weigh in. Actually i made him so high odds as i thought he was too good for me to fight. I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or just as they want me to lose. But as Alexis (our head coach) had told all the other trainers weeks ago that he wanted to be in my corner for the fight, i cant see it being anything else but the former..like he told me today when i asked him what i should do: "just go out and punch hard! you're good enough! that's all you need to remember!"
So belief is all i need. Something that outsiders wouldn't for a second think that i didn't have. But that's where again everybody thinks they know me. Its a shield. The overconfidence isn't me being cocky. its a shield cas i don't want people to get close. Ca's if people cant get close they cant hurt me. I prefer people to not like me. That way i cant be duped into thinking they are my friend and that way they cant ever hurt me.... Maybe one day i will take advice given to me years ago and stop trying so hard to impress. Just be myself and don't care what people think..But its hard to change the habit of a life time. its hard not to be YOU!!!!!!!!
Anyway enough of this sentimental stuff! lol Back to business.. Back to positive mental attitude. I am ready! I am confident! I am a winner! It will be very hard. But i wouldn't want it any other way! If you beat up a little guy, then all you have done is beat up a little guy. If you lose against a little guy, you have lost against a little guy. The pressure is not on me. I'm the outsider! That's what i want. David vs Goliath... people get told that story in school. The movies convey that in every Hollywood story since the dawn of time! And come Friday 17th September they will have another story. Another chapter, and another hero!
COME ON PRICEY!!!! DO YOURSELF PROUD! DO IT FOR YOU!
Peace out!

Joel " ice cold" Carpenter
Day 78
So the weigh in certainly pulled up some surprises! Personally I think the biggest one was my fight! And if you had put money on it yesterday you would be a rich man right now!
Joel "ice cold"carpenter....79kg , 182cm and cut like a steak as Colin Murray off fighting talk would say... Really didn't think i would be fighting him and he is so much bigger and heavier than me.... Plus the fact we have been sparring together all the way through the training which means we kinda know each other inside out. Is that good or not i don't know. I'm definitely feeling strange about this whole thing now. I'm actually gonna fight! Its finally sunk in that that's what this has all been about. I wouldn't say I'm nervous its more of a feeling of anticipation.... i Just want it to be over now. My wife keeps on saying that i should keep all this exercise up after the fight cas i look really good atm... that's gonna be hard as its been really hard work!
I don't know what else to say... For once I've actually got nothing to say..I'm stumped! I cant have trained any harder as I've said. I wanted a good opponent....which i have! A very good one! Really nice lad as well! Lot of respect for him. Looks mean as hell! Breath! Concentrate! Remember what you have learned. Use the force!
Football tonight! Not gonna go at it too hard, need to stay injury free! just using it for fitness!
peace out!
Please i just found out that this thing has spell check!!! Get in! My spelling is atrocious!

WEIGH IN TODAY!!!!!
Day 77+78
Monday night i went boxing, Tuesday i went to the gym at lunch time and had footy training at night!
Wednesday today and I'm looking forward to the weigh in tonight to finally see who I'm gonna fight... I'm really looking forward to it!
So lets look at the possible candidates...
Karan: good fighter strong right...very aggressive 1/2
Tax man: nice fighter, strong right, solid all round 2/1
daire:very good fighter, good close, 6-7kg heavier 3/1
joel:very good fighter,20 inc reach advantage,2 foot bigger, very mobile 5/1
i cant see me fighting anyone else apart from karan to be honest.. they have keep us apart almost since the start.. im 76kg and it would be a massive weight advantage for daire if i fought against him... although i think that would be a very good fight! Karan really does jump at you and you have to be careful you dont get caught on your back foot. technically hes not the best fighter there, but here will not stop coming at you for the 3 rounds. Plus fighting me gives people an advantage as everyone like to see me lose and i'll def be up against it! im not sure what i like more though..people supporting me or people cheering against me! i think the later. that way i dont have the feeling of letting anyone down if i lose and i love a bit of adversity...Everytime i think about the night i picture myself with my arms in the air tica tape falling from the skies... i feel good when i have that image in my head. maybe i dont want to think about the other image that we dont speak of! maybe its not worth thinking about cas it aint gonna happen. maybe i shouldnt worry cas as long as i do my best and fight like there is no tomorrow, fight like all that exists is 3 rounds of 2 mins, i cant lose anyway! im fit! im physically strong! im mentally strong! ive given myself the best possible odds to carve out a win! im not going for some ridiculous knock out, im gonna do what i know im good at. wear him down and kill him at the end! there is nothing more that i could have done to prepare for this physically... im in great shape! i just have to focus now. visualize my goal and go out and get the job done! cas thats all that matters...getting the job done.. no prizes for 2nd best. No amount of "well you did your best" "you were really good out there" it was a bad ref decision"will stop the pain after the fight!!!!... IM A CHAMPION AND IM GONNA WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im gonna win this for my boy who is born soon! No way is he coming into this world and the first thing he is gonna see is his loser dad! No way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOOYA!

Final sparring session(penisgate!!)
Day 74+75+76
Saturday was a mixed bag.. I'm now fit enough to get through the 3 rounds of 2min really without a problem. Its the actual boxing thats the problem! I cant get my head to start and constantly forget the basics of what to do! Stay on your toes, breath, move side to side body body jab! Simple you would think, but no, it really isnt! Its strange. I suppose through out your life when ever you get into (or shall i say got,im 29 and havent touch wood been in a fight for a long time, long may that be the way) a fight its red mist, swing, grapple, go to the floor,get pulled apart and come away with some scratches or a black eye... there is no real fight as such more of a collision....a)cas there are no rules so anything goes b)your usually pissed up c) its usually over something or someone.... because of all this your brain isnt working and you end up swinging your arms around,adrenaline pumping hoping for the best...i cant see how anything but sparring for real will sort this out but now we have no more.. fight night will be the next time we go at it and to be fair i still dont know if i can take a proper punch or can actually throw one! It really is going to be balls out on the night! What you are made of is really gonna come out! You can be all this and all that but when you are slightly down and your being beaten in the head, what you gonna do? Who are you? Flight or fight? Ive always thought of myself as someone who would stand and fight ....till the death or i win... people probably see me a just a big mouthy guy who never backs it up.. well lets see shall we! I know one thing for sure, i will break his fist with my head if i have too! Im not going to stop until that bell rings. Two things i have on my side: fitness and heart... and i recon my heart is big enough to go 10 rounds with tyson!
I did 3 times 2 minutes on sat morning with joel and vivian... i had a bit more in me so i asked if we could do some more sparring at the end if there was time! "No" our coach alexis said as he doesnt want us getting injured.. i said i wouldnt! he got stressed and said fine i'll spar with you at the end! i thought he was joking. He wasnt! we only had one girl on sat so to give her a rest in between rounds i fought the coach... He was pissed off with me i could tell as i had been a bit cocky to him saying i wouldnt get injured and he was definitely trying to give me a good clip. But to be honest failing... i could see he was getting more and more wound up as the round went on. Twice he tried to uppercut me when i was in full block and close.. twice he missed. Each time i gave him a cheeky clip on the chin as i bounced away off the back foot. I wasnt going to antagonise him further by hitting him full on but i think the fact i was just clipping him was pissing him off more!i was just hoping to get through the 3 rounds without getting hurt so i made sure i didnt stop moving and kept my distance while staying just in range...i mean i was never gonna get close to hurting him so i wasnt gonna try and then get caught with a big right! one one time i actually tried to fight he caught me in the face full on and really jolted me.(when i blew my nose after i left blood came out)so from then on i stayed just far enough away not to let that happen again! but it was the end of the 3rd round which was to be the controversial moment... i lent back a bit too far and alexis through a low shot to the body, which and i swear on my unborn child hit me in the penis!!!!!! i went down for about 4 sec... he smiled... at first i thought he had meant it... he then said he hit me in the stomach...it wasnt that bigger punch and if it was my stomach i wouldnt have gone down. dont get me wrong if he had properly punched me in the stomach i would have gone down like britney spears on a cucumber ,but it wasnt... anyway there wasnt really an argument or anything.. i actually thought it was quite funny and after i think believing me at the end so did he...
In the end it was a good workout and i defended well! a couple of the guys turned round to me at the end and said well done..that i had defended well and got a nice couple in... no one wanted to comment on penisgate! i dont know what that means..whether they think im lying or something i dont know! well im not ! end of! if you dont believe me step in the ring with me!
Saturday night and sunday just did some swimming with the mrs... Monday went to the gym at lunchtime and rocked the kazbar! Boxing at 5pm... tech sparring on the agenda! Wednesday i find out who is gonna be my opponent!! !!
Cant wait!

I cant get my head to start and constantly forget the basics of what to do! Stay on your toes, breath, move side to side body body jab! Simple you would think, but no, it really isnt! Its strange. I suppose through out your life when ever you get into (or shall i say got,im 29 and havent touch wood been in a fight for a long time, long may that be the way) a fight its red mist, swing, grapple, go to the floor,get pulled apart and come away with some scratches or a black eye... there is no real fight as such more of a collision....a)cas there are no rules so anything goes b)your usually pissed up c) its usually over something or someone.... because of all this your brain isnt working and you end up swinging your arms around,adrenaline pumping hoping for the best...i cant see how anything but sparring for real will sort this out but now we have no more.. fight night will be the next time we go at it and to be fair i still dont know if i can take a proper punch or can actually throw one! It really is going to be balls out on the night! What you are made of is really gonna come out! You can be all this and all that but when you are slightly down and your being beaten in the head, what you gonna do? Who are you? Flight or fight? Ive always thought of myself as someone who would stand and fight ....till the death or i win... people probably see me a just a big mouthy guy who never backs it up.. well lets see shall we! I know one thing for sure, i will break his fist with my head if i have too! Im not going to stop until that bell rings. Two things i have on my side: fitness and heart... and i recon my heart is big enough to go 10 rounds with tyson!
I did 3 times 2 minutes on sat morning with joel and vivian... i had a bit more in me so i asked if we could do some more sparring at the end if there was time! "No" our coach alexis said as he doesnt want us getting injured.. i said i wouldnt! he got stressed and said fine i'll spar with you at the end! i thought he was joking. He wasnt! we only had one girl on sat so to give her a rest in between rounds i fought the coach... He was pissed off with me i could tell as i had been a bit cocky to him saying i wouldnt get injured and he was definitely trying to give me a good clip. But to be honest failing... i could see he was getting more and more wound up as the round went on. Twice he tried to uppercut me when i was in full block and close.. twice he missed. Each time i gave him a cheeky clip on the chin as i bounced away off the back foot. I wasnt going to antagonise him further by hitting him full on but i think the fact i was just clipping him was pissing him off more!i was just hoping to get through the 3 rounds without getting hurt so i made sure i didnt stop moving and kept my distance while staying just in range...i mean i was never gonna get close to hurting him so i wasnt gonna try and then get caught with a big right! one one time i actually tried to fight he caught me in the face full on and really jolted me.(when i blew my nose after i left blood came out)so from then on i stayed just far enough away not to let that happen again! but it was the end of the 3rd round which was to be the controversial moment... i lent back a bit too far and alexis through a low shot to the body, which and i swear on my unborn child hit me in the penis!!!!!! i went down for about 4 sec... he smiled... at first i thought he had meant it... he then said he hit me in the stomach...it wasnt that bigger punch and if it was my stomach i wouldnt have gone down. dont get me wrong if he had properly punched me in the stomach i would have gone down like britney spears on a cucumber ,but it wasnt... anyway there wasnt really an argument or anything.. i actually thought it was quite funny and after i think believing me at the end so did he...
In the end it was a good workout and i defended well! a couple of the guys turned round to me at the end and said well done..that i had defended well and got a nice couple in... no one wanted to comment on penisgate! i dont know what that means..whether they think im lying or something i dont know! well im not ! end of! if you dont believe me step in the ring with me!
Saturday night and sunday just did some swimming with the mrs... Monday went to the gym at lunchtime and rocked the kazbar! Boxing at 5pm... tech sparring on the agenda! Wednesday i find out who is gonna be my opponent!! !!
Cant wait!

The Weekend has landed!
72+73
Wednesday night i got to boxing for our 2nd to last training sparring session... with only 2 weeks to go they dont want us getting injured so they have told us no more sparring after saturday.. I kinda see where they are coming from but on the other hand i think its not a good decision.. but hey what do i know. I think the problem is that everyone was so dead by fight night last time that they dont want that happening again!
The sparring session for me went really well. Ive learnt to fight off my back foot now and my range finding is very good. I dont really need to be that aggressive to point score and if that was a real match i think(in my opinion) i would have won on points... So all is looking good. I went for a big gym session thursday lunch time and did a massive 14.5km run in the evening to open up those lungs... Friday now and ive taken today off to charge the batteries for our last sparring session tomorrow morning which will definitely be interesting! I bet people will be going for it and im sure there will be no punches pulled!
No footy on sat or sunday so ill have to find something to do..might go surfing on sunday and def gonna get into the sun!
The weekend has landed!
peace out!

17 days to go!!!
Day 70 +71
I was trying to work out the other day if the day thing is right... I think ive lost a couple somewhere. Not really sure where and i'll be dammed if im changing them all.
Ive been reflecting alot over the last week as everyone keeps on asking me if im ready. To be honest i think im as ready as i'll ever be. Looking back maybe ive had a couple too many treats here and there. a couple of drinks too many. But from listening to everone that did it before, they went insane trying to stay off the booze and after the fight went on month long benders.. im like the olympics, i want this to be a lasting thing.. ive not lost all this weight to put it back on again! i def wont be able to keep up this amount of training but i will certainly keep up the lunch time thing and obviously the footy will stay. I also dont want to give up the boxing as i really enjoy it and i want to get better win or lose! I like the challenge of fighting different people. its like those games you played as a kid like street-fighter and tekken... everybody has differnt qualities and weakness's and strengths, and when you finally figure them out you can beat the shit out of them! in my head i used to be the best at those games..although some people might disagree..james hicks for one! i remember the battles! epic man, epic!
So its now or never really... the last couple of sessions before the weigh in . This time next week i will know who im fighting! get my small nips out and staire him in the eyes. The photos flashes will go off and for a second, just for a split second i will put the fear of god into him!! Ive worked harder for this than i have worked for anything in a long time. Probably even harder than trying to get into my wifes knickers for the first time! My hearts racing as im writing this! i can hear the entrance music. No show, no fear,no dancing around. Just full concentration!
BRING IT MY BROTHER!
Trained tuesday like a ho and boxing tonight for 3 hours... see you tomorrow!

2 1/2 weeks left to go!
67+68+69
Well what i nightmare... forgot my gumshield in the office on friday.. Well i didnt exactly forget it, i asked ross to drop it off at my place cas i wasnt going back to the office and the muppet forgot to so they wouldnt let me spar!
It was a shame as the numbers were low and we everyone got a good 4 rounds in!
My own fault i suppose, never rely on anyone!!!!!!
Saturday afternoon i played footy and sunday too... plus went surfing sunday afternoon ..
Monday today and the top of my legs are killing me! I went to the gym at lunch time and did a slow walk for 10 min to try and loosen them up. then i did my pullups and then relaxed in the pool. i did alot of stretching but not much is helping!!
i have boxing tonight.. should be interesting! Will probably get told im unfit again! lol
Not long to go now.. only 2 1/2 weeks left! Rumors are that im fighting the Indian guy karan on the night... He is a decent enough fighter. Im kinda glad that im fighting him and not any of the bigger boys.. Gotta really put in some work for the last couple of weeks now!!! lets get it on!

Sparring sparring sparring... its all about the sparring!
Day 65+66
Wednesday was fun. Went to the gym at lunch and did all my sets.. Really working hard on the arms and shoulders to try to get quicker punching. Got to boxing around 5pm and warmed up then sparred with normal guys and another beast vivian..it went well and i figured out a couple of nice little angles. well apart from vivan who i couldnt get near!! but he is like 15+kg heavier than me and 2 foot taller!!. i seem also to really be holding back alot as i dont really want to give anything away yet. i mean sometimes i feel like i could explode but cas we have been told to not go 100% im not sure i could control myself.. its gonna be weird when we finally get unleashed on fight night...dont get me wrong im not bigging myself up, i dont think im better or worse than the guys im sparring against( maybe not as good) im just saying that i know i have a lot in the tank that im holding back.... im not sure whether its helping me sparring with all the bigger guys and im starting to think they might put me in the bigger category which is worrying...... theories on who we are going to fight now dominates most of the talk! The more leaner and sleek looking daire (minus 4kg lol) and i are looking less and less likely even though he has come down in weight on the basis we spar together every session, so its quite hard to tell who is gonna be fighting who...i dont really want to think about it too much as i dont want to try and specialize myself for one person. I need to sort out a lot of kinks first before i start worrying about who im gonna fight. Atm i dont really see who anyone can beat me as im amazing(yeah i know you lot are reading this!!!!lol) Lets just say i know what ive gotta do. And more importantly what not to do. Ive def sorted out that defense! its nice and tight and not much is getting through. im glad i tested it out in the way i did. I know i lost all the rounds but now i know more about myself and how to use the defence... as we only have so little time to try out these things in sparring you really have to work on things you want as a priority. my priority is gonna be defence! defence, wear down, destroy.. i mean fitness is my strength by miles.. and anyone can throw a punch. but can you take one........
So now that thats sorted i need to work on aggression..(as someone said!!) so saturday i need to work on that !!get in, attack like there is no tomorrow, get out before he hits me, then back in for the counter....not really worried if i get hit so its gonna be a bit gung-ho style to see how that works...
I've got a couple of days off now. im gonna let my body rest for the whole of thursday and friday. With the fight so close i need to know what my fitness levels are gonna be like come fight night without all these constant aches and pains from all the training which is holding me back abit. So lets see what saturdays sparring is like...
should be interesting!

Butterflies!
Day 63+64
Monday sparring went a lot better than sat. A few bits of tweaking and abit more aggression and i think i will do really well. I have noticed that im still not switching on quick enough and not going through what i need to do. In-out need to be quicker, side to side movement needs to happen more and parrying and counterpunching need to be a bit better....
I decieded to really focus on my defence on Monday and didnt really throw a punch.. I stood my ground really well and didnt get pushed back onto the ropes like i did on saturday... I took some really hard shots kinda just letting them go at it. I think joel and daire really enjoyed hitting me fullwack! hahahahaha I was really determined to tighten up that defence and stand firm and i think i found a nice couple of angles to explode out of once thier flurry of punches has stopped. ive just gotta be careful to not swing out of the defence just as they are throwing one into my head!lol Now its really all about combining the defence with the attack. Exploding out of defence and then moving.. thrying to wear them down and get some shots to the body in there.... right in the ribs! I saw our coach use a short jab to the ribs on a guy and it really took the wind out of him!!
I'm really starting to get to like most of the guys and its gonna suck that on the night one of us is gonna lose.Its obvious all of us are putting so much effort and time into this.. I know they say in things like this there are no losers, but there really are! I dont want to even entertain the idea that im gonna lose. I really really really will never hear the end of it if i do.....
I suppose what will be will be and all i can do is train my arse off and do i can to win on the night. The butterflies are going in my stomach now.... the anticipation is starting to build. The weigh-in is on wednesday september 8th... Time is slipping through my fingers.. Training needs to move up another gear again! HOW DO PEOPLE DO THIS FOR A JOB??
Tuesday went to the gym and killed it! Had the night off as im going to the gym at lunch time and i have boxing this evening... Lets get it on!

Big sparring session!
Day 61+62
Saturday was fun. Its the first time we have sparred properly. Well i have. There was last week but that was a disaster. 3 of us donned the ring and did 4 rounds. 2 times 1 min then 1 min rest then 2 times 1 min again. So you fought two guys.. The two guys i fought were very good. One of whom is 12 kg heavier thanb me and the other 2 foot taller than me which was fun! Joel is a very good fighter. very tall and has a massive reach. its very hard to get close to him without getting smacked in the face 5 times before you get to throw a punch! He did also catch me with a beauty that i got a standing 8 count for! Well done mate! that will teach me for not bringing my left hand back quick enough..lol! Daire is also a good fighter but very different. He fights alot of his front foot and trys to bully you. he comes at you very quickly and if you dont step sidewards quick enough he can pin you against the ropes... its good fighting him cas it teaches me to cover up and move. you have to otherwise you get hit!!!! the video of myself and daire is on facebook and i must say he really gave me a pasting.. no other words for it. he did really well. I was really struck by how fast he came at me and maybe a little taken a back! I need to learn how to step sideways faster and remember to counterpunch! maybe i was too afraid also as some of his shots really hurt. i mean he has got 12kg extra on me and that does not sound like much but it reallly is when you are throwing punches.. he is a rugby player as well and knows how to get his weight behind himself!
So lots of things to improve on and alter.. the videos helped alot as well as straight off i can see where imn going wrong! gonna tape the next session as well to see any more faults...
Sunday had a day off so i went surfing! Very good fun. The beach is also a leveler! yeah i not as ripped as i thought! hahahahahahaahhaahahahahahahah

dupped again!
Day 58
No proper sparring again.. Just the technic sparring where you both kinda dance round eachother getting dizzy! kinda bored of this crap now! it doesnt really teach you anything in my opinion.. basiclly cas when you get to actually fight and realize you are gonna get hit all this shit goes out the window anyway. obviously when you get better and further down the line of course this stuff is key.. but we have been fighting now for 8 weeks and still have that swing for th ehilt kinda mentality and that wont go away for a while yet no matter how much you drum it in to us.. I did hear a good explaination from ally... apparently last (season) they sparred twice a week for the last 5 or 6 weeks and by the time it got to the end everybody was destroyed and nobody was fit to fight cas everybody was punching lumps out of each other.
I think what you have to remember is people are paying a lot of money for this and they want to put on above all else a great show. Wether a win or the other guy is null and void to them. They jsut want 20 people turning up on the night that are super fit and ready to give all they have for 3 rounds and put on a great show! i mean there are over 1500 people to impress and entertain. All this is well and good, but not only does it not help me but i really dont care!!!! I WANT TO WIN! and the only way that can happen is if i learn whats gonna happen when im actually fighting. I mean look what happen on sat! i found out that i needed to change my mouthguard! whats next? is my defence open? am i dropping my hands? am i aiming my punches properly? can i make it 3 rounds? can my opposite nr? i have so many questions and none of them are getting answered!
Anyway gym at lunch time yesterday went well ..burppies sets swimming and pullups.. then boxing at night...
Thursday i have gym at lunchtime and footy in the evening...
Peace out!

Back in form?
Day 57
Well the mouthguard worked!
Movement and punching was good. We did tech sparring last night. No proper fighting. Just focusing on doing all the right things. I'm still not convinced that im out of the woods yet. I need to fight the guy i did last week. i think he is the best one out of all the people in my group. There is him and one other guy. I want to test myself against him again. Its the only way im gonna know if ill be ok on the night. Since saturday even though i feel like shit cas i lost i have suddenly rediscovered something.....I dont know where all this energy has come from. All of a sudden i want to work hard again in the gym. I want to hammer it! last night i felt like i could go on forever. is this all cas i got beat? was i coasting? maybe i thought i was walking it.... i dont know. at least ive got it back anyway.. just hope it doesnt disappear again with only 4 weeks to go!
Gym at lunch time and a sparring session tonight with my mate....
See you tomorrow where apparently we will have another mock fight(the one we should have had YESTERDAY)

Gym at lunch time and a sparring session tonight with my mate....
See you tomorrow where apparently we will have another mock fight(the one we should have had YESTERDAY)
On the road to recovery?
Day 56
Iwent for a pretty brutal session at lunch time! My body is paying for saturday. i dont know what to make of it after the time ive had to reflect. I dont know why im being so hard on myself. i couldnt breath simple as! it wasnt my fault and im glad it happend now and not on fight night! at least ive sorted it now and i can move on.. Still i dont like losing as everyone knows and its gonna take a while to recover from this!
Boxing tonight and another mock fight night! lets see if i can redeem myself! Two bad showings in a week will completely destroy me for sure.....
Read tomorrow for a hopefully better showing!

Oh dear!! Houston we haev a problem!
Day 54+55
What a big pile of ball bags the weekend was then!
Lets start with the big one... Saturday morning boxing session: I turned up and we get told that we are goning to do a mock fight. I think great! had a quiet friday night, feeling fresh, this should be fun! I didnt realise how bad my nose was though and as soon as i put my mouthguard in i knew straight away i wouldnt be able to breath... my nose has been blocked for a while now due to my allergies and recently i got a cold that i cant really shake, but it hasnt bothered me too much... i asked for a 1 piece mouthguard but alexis said he would get it after the session. So i started the fight and literally from the word go i couldnt breath! Imagine trying to throw punches and move around while holding your breath. It doesnt work does it! i tried to blow my nose after the first round but 15 sec into the 2nd round i couldnt keep my mouthpiece in anymore cas i couldnt breath... Well brilliant! i can tell you one thing, i didnt like that! i was the unhappiest bunny in all of bunny land...the saddest lion at the fair and the most pissed off ive think ive been since i lost at tiddely winks in the grandfinal when i was 6! Dummy came out with my mouthguard and dolly was thrown in the corner.. i then had to stand there and watch everybody else fight!wee poo wee poo! anyway after the session i got my 1 piece and moulded it round my now firmly shut gob... i tried it out yesterday and it was a lot better... still not perfect but at least i can breath! Im now really worried that if my allergies continue to harrass me i might be struggling for the fight! ive had this problem all my life and recently its been ok, but i dont know wether its due to all the recent rain or time of year but my hayfever is back with avengance! It doesnt help also that the new office we have moved into has really thick carpets and we have no cleaner atm! Im lost and i dont know what to do... its strange cas i played football in the evening at 5pm and was fine... i ran around no problem... but obviously i didnt have the mouthguard in and i didnt need to breath through my nose!
What to do, what to do? I need help!
So as i said i played footy sat night.. we drew 2-2 after being 2-0 up! THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR TAKING OFF YOUR BEST PLAYERS! and sunday i went into the gym and had a boxing match against the wall with my gaurd in and headgear on to see if it was a one off.. i think its better now with the one piece but my breathing still isnt good...

And so the countdown begins!
Day 53
A new era of this training has kicking in now! A countdown! With only 5 weeks left its time to get really serious.. Monday i start back on the creatine after 2 weeks off and some real hard work is gonna be done! Tomorrow football starts with our first league game against the japs! Should be fun... The added football into the workout routine is gonna be an added bonus.. If i had the choice of running a 14km run or playing football i know which one id take! I've had a lot to eat in the last 2 days to try and get the weight back up.. all good foods.. pure meat ! protein shakes and energy bars....gonna try to pack on the muscle in the next 3 weeks then rest for the last two!
Did all my pullups and pushups and swimming today at lunch time with a bit of swimming and sun bathing. looking forward to boxing tomorrow..hopefully sparring will be on the menu! Need to remember what i said. slow it down and take aim and be a bit more tactical and move more!
See you on Monday...hopefully with a good report!

The Force is strong in this one...
Day 52
Ive been a bit slack on my blog lately. A combination of work ,training, football and running havent left me with much time to write anything but a general run down. I really need to take some mesurements down to see how everything is growning or decreasing.... My fitness atm is out of control! I notice it when we play football. I can run all day without even breaking a sweat. I feel physicaly very strong. My reps and sets of pullups is redic! i am feeling very tired constantly and my body is always aching but once i start training that all goes away and i can put in some serious work! Im actually very addicted to the gym. Its very hard to not go and give it my all eveyday. And if i miss a day like sundays which i have off i feel like its been forever since ive been there .... 5 weeks and 1 day to go till fight night which means 36 days to go... I'm actually starting to get a bit nervous now. i dont know why. Maybe cas everybody keeps telling me i should be and everybody keeps asking me how the training is going and who im gonna fight against and am i gonna win.. Its ok i dont mind talking about it but i feel like im having the same conversation over and over again which is making me over analyze everything... i need to forget about everything and just accept that what will be will be. ive just gotta give myself the best possible platform, which to be honest im doing. (diet-good,training-good,mental approch-good) so what do i have to worry about? i cant change what a person is gonna do in thier training so why worry about it. And i am always good in big situations.. the one spot kick aside!
Today i chose my entrance music and name! Come on Rob "The Gob" Price!

Day 49+50+51
On Monday i had an all day footy tournement which started at 11am and finished at 4.30pm. We were very poor and a lot of people were unfit! Not looking good for the start of the season.... On tuesday i went to the gymn at lunchtime and played footy game at night. And on Wednesday i went to the gym at lunchtime and did 3 hours of boxing at night.
The Boxing session was really good on Wednesday. I really need to spar more though! Its strange cas when im looking at people sparring i can instantly tell whats wrong with what they are doing, but as soon as i get in the ring i tense up and forget everything. Plus i seem to have got into this habit of laying off people. I really need to start pushing it now. The only problem is do i give away everything that i have been learning or do i wait? i dont mind during the sparring to just stand there and get hit a couple of times but if i continue doing it ...... well you get it. Im not to impressed with the way everything is done anyway. I mean we are 5 weeks out and they still havent showed us anything else but straight punches and stepping in and out. everything is one dimetional. i mean with 15 sessions left i really want to know a bit more!
Loads of people are getting secret training session with the coaches now. There is no way im paying 100 bucks an hour! not even if i could afford it! but i can see a vast improvement in the people who have been taking the lessons. its def showing! fair play to them i suppose...
Thursday tomorrow and gym plus possible footy game.., not sure yet.

Not long now!
Day 44+45
Time is wizzing past and every time i go boxing a feel like time is running out! I dont know how much fitter i can seriously get..... its strange ive never reached this level of fitness before! i feel really fit but still everything feels hard to do.. i suppose im hitting harder and doing more than when i started but i feel like death after every session.. its crazy!
Wednesday we did some more sparring.... Its got to the point now that everyone is talking about who they think they are fighting.. I cant see it being anyone else but two people! i'm not worried or scared just apprahensive.. I mean im very gobby and like to blow my own trumpet, so what if i do lose! i havent really thought about it till now but people keep on brining it up. The problem is that im expected to win and everyone would love to see me get beat! Thats a dangerous combination. I had the chance to drink yesterday but i didnt ... i really am going to take this massively seriously now! im gonna take some messurements tonight to see how they are.. that will give me an idea how far ive come. I think i started at 80 odd kg .. i know im now close to 77.5kg... the problem is that the longer this goes on the better everyone gets! hahaaha i jsut have to keep my feet in front and continue working hard! i should have the fittness in the bag. i mean the amont i do is ridiculous... there is no way that im going to lose on that! im doing well in the boxing and i can take a punch. so that side is ok. I think the biggest thing is going to be the mental side of it! Making a game plan for the fight and exectuing it to the letter! not going off on some sideshow look at me dance routine and then end up losing the fight cas i wasnt focused. its all a balance... sure its gonna be nerve racking and im gonna be tempted to show off but if i dont get the end result its gonna have been all for nothing! And there is no fucking way thats gonna happen!
Thursday lunch time i had a team lunch so i skipped the gym but played footy at night and went for a swim....
Friday and a big session in the gym looms....

Weekend Madness!
Day 41+42+43
Saturday was an action packed day! 3 hours of boxing in the morning followed by a 4 hour footy tournement! It was really nice to play footy again. Ive missed playing a lot as we are in the off season atm..and playing footy is like training but fun!!! especially the way i play, running around like a mad man! 1 thing i have noticed over the weekend is though : Im not superman im human@! After the last game i felt something ping in my knee... At first i feared the worst. I couldnt walk and had to sit down for 15min before i could get up. and then i could only hobble! I let it rest for a day and im still not very confident about it so im gonna give up my run this week as i think it will be too much! Im at a major dilemma atm! Do i push through all this pain and keep at it or do i say right thats it and take a whole week off.. With all my commitments its a bit hard but maybe i have to. Yesterday at boxing on Monday night i had no interest at all. I couldnd spark myself into anything. I got there as i do at 5pm and there was nothing. Not even the sparring put me right. I think i know who im fighting and maybe im trying to adapt myself to him ... He is bigger than me with a monster right! But he telegraphs it. I mean he might as well send me a text that its coming it takes that long and is that obvious.. i really want to tell him but its kinda stupid telling him right? i mean this is the guy that in the end could make me look like a muppet! and ive gone and told him how to beat him.... Yesterday i just wanted to take a beating in the ring so i didnt move or jump around like i usually do, or throw quick so i could feel what it was like to be hit.. cas im thinking that this guy is gonna catch me at least once! and what happens if i get to the ring and i havent been hit or spun yet and he clips me! Ive heard lots of people say that the best fighters are the ones who can take a punch. That it can change you... I know sparring is suppose to be 40% bla bla bla but none of us have been throwing less than 100%.. how can we. its our first time in a ring and its a natural instinct for us.... any fight i have been in through out my life ive fought back a hundred percent. Its the sparring that teaches you to control that fight.. and we have only had about 6 ish sparring sessions... But i havent been hit in these 6 sparring sessions, and when i have god for thier sakes i hope they were 40% hits cas they were shit!
Look im not trying to be hard or an idiot, and my point is valid! You need to if you're gonna flake after you have been hit! i need to know! Anyway i left my whole face out there got punched god knows how many times and i didnt.. so now im happy. the coach wasnt. he said if i do that im gonna get my jaw broken. but now i know a little bit more. im still not sure what will happen if i get hit properly but im sure ill find out and i hope thats soon!
Maybe im jsut a sadist... i dont know!
a secret session with my friend tonight who is giving my a bit of 1:1 tips... did it on sunday and it was good! learned a lot of new things...
peace..

Weekend of fun
Day 34+35+36
Its Monday and its been a long weekend! Saturday we had our profile videos done at the boxing club. We had some questions (given to us the day before) put to us and some video taken for our entrance on the night! I was really looking forward to this and had mentaly prepered all my questions in advance. Adding humour and honesty into them.... So i get there at 8am and they start filming me asking me the first question, i go off on one then he says: right that was great but can you answer every question in under 15 seconds...Apparently my 5 min speech was too long! Ok i said. But what came out was shocking! I am not looking forward to hearing it... it sounded retarded! Believe me it was suppose to be witty and obviously make sense. Now it does neither... boooooooooo
Anyway afterwards we had a 2 hour training session and at night i went to a party... i got pissed!! (boo again) gotta stop allowing myself a couple of glasses of el vino! its not good!
Had Sunday off! Weather was shit so i just watched tv all day!
Monday i decieded to have a week off my midday sessions and really focus on the boxing training when i get there... im getting to tired by the time i get there and the workouts feel a bit lathargic lately... it was a good idea and i really gave it some for 3 hours! We did sparring bag work and padwork in a circle training exercise for over an hour! it was intense! My group got told off for trying to kill eachother in the sparring rather than using our technical skills we have learned. I dont think i saw one block!hahahah just a million haymakers! lol Love it!
Apparently wednesday is the same so im going to do the same again and just do the one three hour session!

Another sarring session down!
Day 31+32+33
A lot more professional, alot more controlled. That what i got told at the end of my sparring session yesterday. I cut the cockyness out and just went to work. Never really letting the other person breath and moving well when they were throwing, I caught a couple of right hooks at the end when i was trying to see what would happen if i just blocked and didnt throw. NOT GOING TO DO THAT AGAIN. One thing ive found out is that even though its not really that painful, i dont like getting hit in the face!
I went for a big run Tuesday night and obviously did gym on Wednesday at lunchtime, Then boxing.
Thursday i played footy at night but didnt do anything at lunch.
Friday is going slowly. Im working from home so i havent been to the gym today. Gonna do my 8km run at 5pm so that i have done something today. Tomorrow is video shoot for our promo videos for the boxing event! Gotta look good so i shaved all my hair and beard (bumfluff) today.
looking forward to that!

can you ever be too over confident?
Day 30
Its a good question. I mean went you are stressed, worried or nervous you tense up and therefore have a higher chance of messing up. Its well know. Its proper science. So when i do something i like to do it with rhythm, with swagger and fernes... i might look as though im being cocky but really im just going through the motions! I can see how it might look and in a place where there is always somebody ready to challenge you it def is kinda dangerous! But thats what makes it fun! i mean being scared of being hit is pointless cas at one point you are gonna get clocked....no doubt about it! Once you realise your jaw isnt make of glass it does give you a certain bravado. And if you do get knocked out you aint gonna notice it till way after anyway so who cares. getting kocked out doesnt hurt. waking up does, but by then the fight is already over!
No sparring yesteday just a lot of doubles attack and defend while all the big guys did thier sparring. We get ours on wednesday... Two more people from my weight range were there yesterday and im def not worried about them. So all is looking good in terms of fittness and confidence i just need to find a bit more motivation for training again as its wearing off slightly! Im in the middle of the beginning and the middle of this training so i have nothing to look foward to and im already in a routine so its kinda hard to motivate myself. I think i hit the ground running a bit too quick and the amount of sets and reps im doing is getting a bit out of control. Its just quite daunting atm thinking about how much i have to do and how long it takes everyday. i mean my gym sessions at lunch are starting to get longer and longer and this week i have really hit a wall. today was really hard .
I did 10 min running and my pull ups(3 times 6 + 3 times 5 wide arms) plus 3 sets of burpies sets.. now up to 25 pushups 50 situps 15 burpies 25 squats 50 starjumps and 50 foot shuffles.....
and to finish off 5 lengths of the pool.. i m going for a big run at 5pm so i tried not to do too much!
date night tonight! Inception! sick..... treat myself to some popcorn! well deserved!
see you tomorrow and 2nd sparring session! woooooooooo hhooooooooo!

Rocky gives Rocky a black eye!
Day 29
So its Monday afternoon and what a few days its been! Saturday morning i went to boxing training and had my first sparring session. There were two of the guys i think are in my sort of weight group at training. When it came round to sparring our coach Rocky and these two joined in. I came off a bit better against the two guys.... ok im not gonna be modest, i fucking took them apart! Seriously! I felt good. My movement was good and my punching was deadly! I did however get far too cocky and got told of twice for it! I was just playing and just wanted to test my limits. It was fun aswell! lol But from now on i have to be professional and remember that everyone is gonna get better so stay in front from the beginning! Anyway i got put in my place by our couch. Abite i did give him a black eye!!! He represented India nationally and internationally for 10 years at bantamweight and is quick as lightning! I think i got a lucky one two punch in after some light sparring and then he decided to put me down! The next two seconds are a blur but i didnt go down and managed to stay up! god dam he was quick and landed about 5 haymakers right in my face! I did give him a quick cheeky look as to say is that all you got. Lucky the bell went and he didnt have chance to obviously say no!
Sunday i rested as the weather was shit so no surfing this week!
Monday was back in the gym at lunchtime but i was really lazy! Pullups,pushups,swimming and then i laid in the sun for an hour!
Looking forward to training tonight again and hopefully some more sparring!

Footy tonight! Yeh!
Day 25
My god i hurt so much! I really do feel like im close to burning out.. the only thing keeping me going atm is that im so close to losing the last bit of my belly its crazy! 2-3 more weeks of training and good eating should do it! plus im now back playing footy most weeks that should give me the extra push ! Boxing last night was really hard. It was all punching, shadow boxing, bag work, pad work and technique... My arms were fucked! I really enjoyed the defending and attacking part. I have to stop blinking though everytime somebody throws a punch at me!! Big time! Its strange cas something is coming towards your head and your immediate reaction is to blink... but everytime you do so you miss where the 2nd punch is coming from and you get hit in the head! I find my punches (especially my jab) are very weak! i dont know if thats overtraining or im just a pussy... probably a bit of both! its hard t otell when your hitting a bag! well we will see when we finally do some sparring on Saturday...
So light session at lunch then footy tonight. We only have 11 players so that should be a good run out!
Viva la spania!

Back into some serious training!
Day 24
Yesterday pissed me off and i went a bit o.t.t.! I got home around 5pm and had just enough time for a short run before date night. I suited up and started running with my ipod blasting out some tunes. By the time i knew it i was finished and had just done 8.08km (mapmyrun.com) in 45 min exactly.... This sounds slow. Believe me its not! The run is do is rediculously hilly and i have to cross the road 5 times and there is only an overhead walkway available! I absolutely beat it! No stops on slowing down! But boy today my legs hurt! And my neck! And when i went to the gym at lunch today i thought i was going to die! Because of the pain i had to change it up today so i streched for 20 min. Then i walked for 10min on the treadmill. Then did my pullup routine. Then did the pool but only managed 6 lengths before i started to tighten up again. I have boxing at 5pm so i didnt want t0 push it so i sat in the sun for 30 min. i really am getting quite off white now! hhahaha
Must say im really looking forward to boxing tonight as the rumor is we have our first sparring session. We will get split into two groups so i might be in the group that does it on sat. I would actually prefer this as my neck isnt 100% and i can look how everybody else is before i get in!
Come on !!!!!!!!! Finally i get to hit someone!

Not Happy with my Health scan!
Day 23
Ridiculous..... its the only word to describe what happened today! I went to the gym at lunch and they were doing free health tests so i thought that would be worth doing! You know to find out what sort of stats i was at and in 2 months compare them with now. Well according to them i need to lose 8kg! I mean that is mental! I need to lose 8kg and my bodyfat is 23.7%... im sorry but that is rubbish! That means im carrying 18.6kg of fat! Mate i might have a bit of a belly still going on but its disappearing fast and they is certainly not 18.6kg of fat there! There is none on my arms and legs... so that leaves my back and my stomach! I can tell you for sure i have no back fat so that leaves my stomach. I dont have a 9 year old child stuck to my front...believe me id know if i did! what a joke... idiots, idiots,idiots! I looked at the ticket and said thats kinda high and he started saying that i need to do more cardio! What? I train at lunchtime for 2 hours monday to friday. do 3 times 2 hours of boxing a week and play a minimum of 2 game of footy a week! do more cardio? When? While im sleeping! If they are telling me this then what are they telling people who are actually fat? Are they telling the they are obese? For sure they are using this as a marketing ploy to get people to join up for an extra contract or take one to one sessions... I mean they must be! There is no way im 8 kg overweight !
Anyway it kinda spurred me on. I didnt really start thinking about it until i got back to the office so i just went and trained. I did 5min run for warm up then 3 times 5 pull ups .(arm curls) 3 times 5 pull ups (arms wide apart) 4 times 6 lifting own weight and 30 lengths of the pool in 20 min. I topped that off with 2 min skipping, 20 push ups, 50 star jumps, 50 foot shuffles,20 squats times 3.....
God my arms are burning! Anyway i think i might skip date night and go for an hour run tonight!

Day 22
Monday morning was a write off! After a good session on Saturday and some serious sun caught i was looking forward to my day off on sunday. We went down to sentosa and i went on the wave machine for an hour! it really hurt my already tired legs! It was fun though... i got really burnt in the two hours we were there although its now browned off a lot... we went to bas's house at 1am to watch the footy and i didn t get to sleep till 6am so Monday didnt rally happen for me!. I did go to boxing training at 6pm but my heart wasnt in it although i did get into right at the end!
I hope tuesday is better in the gym!

Sun Sun Sun
Day 17
Used my lunchtime session today to get some sun as i have a long hard one tonight.
Did 2 km in 10 min ,my pullups, skipping and pushups then headed into the pool for 45 min and caught some serious rays. It was so hot that you could see those waves on the floor and people were burning thier feet on the wooden decking! Im not really going brown fast but at least im no longer blue!!!
I've eaten really well over the last three days and feel really good! Looking forward to a hardcore session tonight and really working those arms out!
Hope to have some good news tomorrow and looking forward to the weekend....

Feeling good again!
Day 16
Its amazing what a couple of sessions can do. Monday morning came about, i had been naughty and the world looked grey. Tuesday afternoon and i have a big fat smile on my face!
Yesterday i went and did my normal light session. Only thing that was different was i'm now doing 6 pull ups instead of 5 , 50 situps instead of 45 and 25 pushups instead of 20...(3 sets) After my swim i laid by the pool for a while and caught some rays.
Boxing was really hard yesterday! We did our normal warm-up and cracked straight on with shadow boxing,pad and bag work. Cas i had turned up just after 5pm and hit the speed bag for 45min my arms were a bit weak. Something that my coach really noticed and told me to stop hitting like a girl! I would have loved to, apart from i thought my left arm was just about to fall off! But i got through it and we did a coulpe of burppies sets and the dreaded plank. I really looked as though i had just been swimming! I was drenched! Just before i went to the shower i did my 2 sets of pull ups that im determined to get up to 10 by the end of this! the pull ups at the end really hurt and they are a struggle but hopefully the more i do them the easier it will get!
I headed home and the wife had cooked me chicken breast and veg! OFF THE HOOK BTW!
My sleep patterns have been really shit lately! I seem to have real insomnia.. Its like i cant find the off switch. I just lay there and nothing happens. Im not quite sure why this is as i should be really tired. Its not helping during the day as my eyes feel really heavy at work but by the time i get home im fully awake! its starting to annoy me!'
The gym was good today ! 3 sets of 5 pull ups. skipping+situps+pushups(1min,50,25) times 4....
Really working those arms! Then into the pool for 20 lengths. did it in 13min. 0.5 km in 13min. is that good? i wasnt really going fast. i did 10 breast-stroke and 10 crawl. Then got some more sun! Im starting to actually get a bit of colour which is making me looked more defined. NICE:) Just need to lose this bloody stomach! Im gonna do it if it kills me!
Stats after 2 weeks i took yesterday:
Weight: 79.1 kg
Stomache: 35 inc
Waist : 33 inc
Bum : 37 inc (minus2:)
Thigh: 18 inc
bicep :11.5 inc all rounded up:)p

Nowhere to hide!
Day 15
After a great Saturday morning boxing session i was feeling good. My shoulders were burning from the boxing, but apart from that i felt good! Miles and cat were having a wet the poo monsters head party at 2pm and keryn and i were going to pop by for a bit and i had said to myself to not drink! Its really starting to annoy me now that i cant do a simple thing like not drink. None, nada, null, nichts.... it just doesnt exist! im incapable of lasting a week! i probably had a bottle and a half of red wine, which in itself is not that bad, but i woke up the next morning with a hangover and just feeling shit all day. I went on this journey for a couple of reasons. One of which was to stop drinking. I'm getting to the point where im so fed up of the day after that im not enjoying drinking anymore! but still i persist in getting drunk. Coupled with the fact that my wife cant drink and gets very jealous and has a go at me for three days doesnt help either. Lets face it i have been known to act like a penis on rare occasions and if you dont put yourself in those situations you cant do anything wrong. So to be so inept and not follow through with this properly is starting to get on my tits. I'll tell you what it is. I feel so good and well after a weeks training that i feel the need to counter balance it with feeling like shit! im never happy unless i have something to maon about! That and if you dont drink in Singapore there really is nothing else to do! I mean really nothing else to do! Especially when all your friends are piss-heads:) come on you know you are! I could just gloss over these indiscretions, or not write them in here. But i think that would defeat the object and plus there is nowhere i can hide. If i lie about one thing you might think im lying about the training and then this blog becomes pointless!
Anyway 5 days now of pure hardcore training on the horizon. Starting at 12 today. light session as i have boxing at 5 till 7.30..... The sun is shining so after my run, situps and pullups i might catch some rays by the pool....
See you tomorrow, hopefully i'll have forgiven myself by then and i'll be in a better mood!

What a gym session!
Day 12
I'm not being funny. No really im not! But todays session was the bomb diggity snop d o double g tastic get in there my son sesch!
45 min on the treadmill on 2.5% gradient.. (15min on 10km/h,15min on 11km/h and 15min 12.5... 3 sets of pull ups! 3 burppies sets-you know the drill and 10 lengths of the pool! Then i went into the steamroom and sweated the evil out!
Now that is a sesch... Really feel good aswell. Dont feel tired and in pain. Sweet! And to top it off there is about 3 more hours of work to go and then its the weekend! Although to be fair the weekend is not what it was as i cant drink! (now i know how my lovely wife feels!) it is hard work and i really admire her for going 6 months without getting pissed or smoking... ! I hope i have the strength to get through the rest of this without drinking either. The smoking is easy. I've never really smoked anyway went i havent had a drink in the other hand. So giving up wasnt hard. But i must admit that i still get the urge every now and again. But then i think to myself that if i have one i will have another one and then im back where i started! And lets face it i havent just worked my arse off in the gym to just go and mess myself up! I feel so strong and quick atm. Why would i want to jeopardize that for a cig! i mean really! You know im actually getting quite stubborn about this now. The drinking and smoking. And as anybody who know me knows when i get something in my head...... ill do it just to prove people wrong! People who think that im not capable of going 3 months without it! ill go 6 just to say i can and prove you wrong! Just like the people who ask me why im doing this!
Boxing tomorrow, rest on Sunday with a well deserved sleep in! (tried to spell ly in but nobody knows how to spell it!!! lol!
Have a good week peeps! Ps press follow on the right side please if you already havent!

Now that is a sesch... Really feel good aswell. Dont feel tired and in pain. Sweet! And to top it off there is about 3 more hours of work to go and then its the weekend! Although to be fair the weekend is not what it was as i cant drink! (now i know how my lovely wife feels!) it is hard work and i really admire her for going 6 months without getting pissed or smoking... ! I hope i have the strength to get through the rest of this without drinking either. The smoking is easy. I've never really smoked anyway went i havent had a drink in the other hand. So giving up wasnt hard. But i must admit that i still get the urge every now and again. But then i think to myself that if i have one i will have another one and then im back where i started! And lets face it i havent just worked my arse off in the gym to just go and mess myself up! I feel so strong and quick atm. Why would i want to jeopardize that for a cig! i mean really! You know im actually getting quite stubborn about this now. The drinking and smoking. And as anybody who know me knows when i get something in my head...... ill do it just to prove people wrong! People who think that im not capable of going 3 months without it! ill go 6 just to say i can and prove you wrong! Just like the people who ask me why im doing this!
Boxing tomorrow, rest on Sunday with a well deserved sleep in! (tried to spell ly in but nobody knows how to spell it!!! lol!
Have a good week peeps! Ps press follow on the right side please if you already havent!
Football today yeah!!
Day 11
The gym last nght was fun. As the sessions wizz past we are upping the pace. Longer punchout times on the bag, faster sets, more reps..ect..... Maybe on days where i have boxing training its not a good idea to go to the gym at lunch, or maybe thats what is going to give me the edge come sept 17th. I will be really stessed if i lose and will never live it down@! This is one of the main reasons im kinda going hammer and tonges at this training atm... Every day when i get home i'm so tired. Not i feel tired, i mean i literally cant keep my eyes open and i fall asleep where ever i sit down! I've managed to not eat anything past 9pm for the last week and im not sure what that is doing to me. I dont know if its a good thing or not. I mean i have lost weight, but that is to do with the training im sure. One thing im def. realizing is how much energy is in certain foods. salad and fruit cant get you though the day im telling you that. And if there is no energy in the tank the training is pointless! underpowered and lackluster if you dont eat properly!
So boxing yesterday was good as i said and gym at lunch today had to be skipped as i went for a team lunch. We went to carnivore and i ate a lot of meat and veg no sauce ... it was good and some good protein taken on board!
Football at night and a full game played! Unfortunately i only played in goal but got quite a lot of situps and pushups in while the ball was down the other end!lol we won 5-1 and i make some good saves! the only bad thing was christer not listening and playing a blind pass back to me and scoring an own goal to mess up my clean sheet! hahhahaahaha must admit it was funny!
Gonna rinse it tomorrow in the gym! Feel a big one coming on! Peace...

Remakes of classic films should not be allowed!
Day 10
So my night off and date night on the horizon. We went to see karate kid with jaden smith and jackie chan, what a giant load ! The acting was terrible. I mean really bad! Plus it was kung-fu that they were doing, not karate so it made no sence. Plus if you are going to remake a film why do it scene for scene! karate kid is a classic! just re-release it in the cinema or something. I dont know about you, but i would qiute happyily go and watch it in the cinema for date night! hollywood! nothing better to do with thier money. i mean it was so bad that at the end the only thing that was different was one of the cobra kai guys wasnt shouting : your going home in a bodybag daniel... apart from that all the same
Anyway allowed myself some popcorn and an ice-cream as a treat. Ally said i should let myself have one thing a week so i wouldnt go insane so i did! I really needed some sugar too and do you know what no headache today! get in!
Went to the gym for a really light session as i nearly died on monday. Did a light 2 km jog in the treadmill some skipping, push ups and sit ups. 15 pull ups (3 sets of 5) and 20 lengths of the pool(25meter pool).
I'm actually really looking forward to tonight. will get there just after 5pm again. I can feel my stomach and shoulders firming up now. i have been back in the gym for just over a month now and have really noticed the difference on how much i could do before and now! the intensity is a lot higher and the form in which i can do things is so much better. i mean in only over a week ive gone from rubbish pull ups to 10 good ones.. and 5 reducers which really hurt.. getting stronger everyday and with the added football factor coming back in its only going to get better. ive got my first game tomorrow in 2 weeks. im looking forward to seeing if my gym fitness will show on the pitch or it will have made me slower due to putting on muscle mass...i havent played reguarly for a while now and i hope i havent lost the stamina part of footy... we'll see!

Settling in...
Day 9
Boxing training yesterday was the first time i actually noticed that this training might well kill me!
I went for a light session at lunch yesterday. I did 3km ,15 min run. 3 sets of push ups,crunches, star jumps, foot shuffles, burppies and skipping. Plus my normal sit up routine which consists of 45 times 5 of different crunches... I've now started to add in pull ups as i said the other day. They really hurt! I did 2 times 5 pull ups. and 5 pull ups where you let yourself down really slowly...i call these reducers! they hurt more than the normal ones....
As normal got to the boxing gym around 5.20pm. Played around on the speed-bag till 6pm while listening to em's new album Recovery! Off the hook btw! then did some stretching and was very warmed up by the time 6.30 came around. Actually i wasnt warmed up, more on fire! we started with cardio sets then shadow boxing and skipping.. Then the dreaded punchbag punchouts came in where you have to punch as much as you can in 15 sec. then 15sec rest then repeat 6 times. then for 20 sec. then for 30. well i must say after that i almost threw up! the thing is everybody does things to thier own ability. Its the same with the sets. people are skipping whole exercises or doing pushups on their knees and then jumping around cas they finish first! do it properly or if you do finish first think how can i do it harder next time! The form you do it in also has a lot to do with it. If it doesnt hurt you are either he-man or your not doing it right! '
anyway....... so after we did the bags we do the dreaded burppies sets (crunches,burppies...ect) 10each times 3. and then the plank at which point i fell in a heap and didnt move half way through the 2nd plank! I was really tired..
I had a protein shake and a shower and went home.
i woke up this morning feeling not to bad though i must say. Strange seeing how much i hurt yesterday! I did a light session at the gym at lunch time today (15min 3km...sit ups routine, skipping and burppie sets 10 times 3 and 20 lengths of the pool to relax the body). I had pasta and tuna couscous for lunch and muesli for brekki... need to have some complex carbs for dinner. i dont think im taking in enough energy atm... creatine before workouts isnt giving me much energy. i've almost cut sugar completely out of my diet. in fact i prob have shut out all sugar apart from the natural sugar in fruit... I keep on getting headaches and my shoulders are killing... the mental part of this is starting to kick in now too. realising im only a week into it and i still have 11 to go! I need a beer.... i need a diet coke and an ice cream! all at once.. in fact i want it so much i would inject it into me so i dont have to go thuogh the long winded thing of eating it!
I feel myself going insane! god help the person im going to fight! The quicker i finish him the quicker i can have a beer! first round knock out anyone! lol :) just joking..

First Week down!
Day 8
So i've got through the first week of Training very well. Stayed off the bad things on Friday and Saturday night but ended up having a couple of vinos on Sunday watching the football. Anyone who watched that game would forgive me for that! I went out for dinner on Saturday and stayed off the booze thanks to my wife who constantly reminds me what not to eat and drink! Thanks honey!
So Saturday in the gym went well. More cardio, sets, punchbag, circuit training and the plank!!! Ended up staying for the next session aswell like a sick puppy! So all in all i did 2.30hours training and took Sunday off for recovery! I've got boxing training tonight so just a light training session at lunch. I need to start focusing on weights and toning now. The running is going to have to be done outside of the gym now so i can dedicate more time to the other.
A few stats i took down last week...
Stomach: 35 inc
Waist: 33 inc
Bum: 39 inc
Thigh: 17 inc
Bicep: 11 inc
Weight: 80.1kg
See how this changes over the course of the 12 weeks. My main focus is the belly! I really want to win obviously but even more i want a 6 pack. I think if i get it i will keep it.
So off to training!

Oh dear!
Day 4
As confucius said : Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising everytime we fall....
3 days in and the training was going swimmingly. The diet was very good and not a beer or cig in sight! Oh England why do you do it to me!
Right lets start from the beginning. I got into the gym yesterday at lunch and after streching felt kinda good! I my usual 6km run, situps and 20 lengths of the pool. I didnt want to do too much as the boxing was looming in the evening. I got there at 5pm and started on the speed bag till 6pm. then warmed up and did the boxing training. We are still focusing on the fitness aspect so it was mainly cardio exercises, sets and bag work with some footwork exercises thrown in... i finished on a real high and have started doing pull ups after every session to really get those arm and shoulders muscles bulging.. (i can do 4 :)p ) rubbish i know! and the 4 i do are pretty rubbish at that. So i had a shower and put my England shirt on and headed down to meet the mrs and some friends... The Yanks were late so i was standing with a couple of aussie mates who were ribbing me about how shit england were... fair enough! Waiter comes over and askes me what i want. "I'll have a fuit juice please .. orange juice or cranberry juice.. How much are they? " .... 9 dollars! "9 dollars, are you fucking mental!!! If i have 3 or 4 of those i will have to take out a bank loan!" "Fuck it give me a beer"... Actually its only 35 dollars for 6 coronas... "Sweet give me a bucket then!" Oh what did i just do? .......................................................................................
I dont know why i can spend 35 bucks on beer but not on juice! i know it was a scandal but i really have to learn not to drink. The last thing i want to do is become a recluse for 3 months but going out without drinking is hard! I am a muppet and need to grow up!
Today was ok in the gym did what i did yesterday... i'm just pissed off i failed already!
Im going off to sulk! boooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
