Hardcore Training Time

About an hour ago I weighed myself on the scale and it read a whopping 236.5 lbs. I didn't realize that my weight got that much out of control. After running for about 2 miles of the treadmill and another 1 mile outside I got back on the scale and it read 233.5 lbs. I felt a little better but realized that I have a lot to do this month.

A lot has happened since I last posted. About a month and a half ago I was promoted to blue belt. However, I have not been able to get my mat sense or perform the way I want to. I've struggled on the mat and have since decided to re-evaluate my style and my training.

I decided to join a fitness gym to further increase my cardiovascular fitness. Also, I feel that joining the gym would promote more weight loss. I've got big goals for myself this year and this month is the first step.

My goals are defined in the following:

1. Improve guard and passing the guard tactics.

2. Be able to run 4.5 to 5 on the treadmill

3. Improve fighting in the pocket in kickboxing.

I'll be posting regularly this month, stay tuned for updates.
