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!
Peace

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!
ROCKY BROWNBOWA!

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!

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.

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!

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...
