Wednesday before a weigh in


So this fight cycle has been rocky to say the least.  My head has been all over the place. I lost an opponent, got another one. And so many other  things. My weight has been a struggle. I made some mistakes to assist with other issues. I also found it hard to stick to it without a for sure opponent. And then I panicked that I might not make it. And for the last 2.5 weeks I have been extremely strict with what I have been eating.  And the last few days have been a breeze. It's Wednesday before I weigh-in and I honestly feel the best I've ever felt. I'm a bit thirsty and a bit hungry, but nothing unmanageable.  I can still tell Im doing good because I can listen to the shuffle on the iPod in the car while Im driving.  That has never happened. I usually have to make a playlist of about 10-15 songs that aren't annoying me at the moment to get me through this week.

And I almost posted this. And realized its wednesday, didn't want to go messing anything up since I still had 48 of the toughest hours to go.

So now its 16.5 hours from weigh ins and I am right were I need to be.  Other than being wide awake at1:30 in the am.  Though I have had nothing else to do for the last 12 hours other than make weight and relax.  Now Im almost there and just need to sleep to I can keep the loss going.  And then make weight.  I still feel the best I have ever felt.  Im dehydrated no doubt but Im also very lucid with plenty of energy.  A little too much.  Makes it hard to sleep.  But also means my weight cut went well.


So with that, Im going to attempt sleep again and go back to fantasizing about Pedialyte.

So I have thought about this for a while.  Do I actually write this post?  Do I put my dirty laundry out there for everyone? Or the handful that read my blog.  And if I do, what do I say? Do I slam those involved?  Do I take the high road?  When is a “good” time to put it out there?  A few days under my belt and there is probably no better time. So no secret, my ex-boyfriend was my coach.  That worked out mildly well while we were together but add a breakup and somehow it just doesn’t work out as smoothly.  Add a few of the worst things a person could do to another in there and disaster doesn’t even begin to describe.  But I have this eternal belief that I can make any situation work.  That I can fix things.  It’s what makes me good at my job.  I’m an eternal optimist. But it’s what causes me to not be so good at my personal life.  Even when things are clearly not good, I still think I can fix it and make it right...

Defensive eating

I like to think I have complete control over what i eat, how much and when. It's my body, who else would have control? Over the last week, I have realized the level of influence the person you live with can affect it. I have lived for a while with someone who has no self control and thus sees a package of cookies on the counter and eats the entire thing or eats an entire 1 lbs bag of PB M&m's in one sitting. So instead of eating just one of my favorite cookie, I would eat 3 or 4. Yes I know cookies will not be gone forever but in that instant I become territorial and eat more than I normally would. It makes me wonder about the strange behaviors those in large families must have about food. Clearly our parents define a lot about the relationship we have with food but this realization brings to light a whole new level of influence on my eating. There has been a package of cookies on the counter that's been there since Monday and is still half full.

A Friendly Little Bet

So I like to think I take very calculated risks. That may sound like the dumbest thing I've ever said (though I can guarantee I've said worse) considering my extracurricular activities. But that's still a calculated risk, given the right training it isn't too crazy. So over lunch on Sunday I got into a disagreement over my body fat and what weight I could cut to. I believe at my current weight of 147 that my body fat is over 20%, he disagreed. So naturally this devolved into a friendly bet since I'm doing a Bod Pod test on Thursday. The looser had to wash the others motorcycle.  Not really fair since I think I’m right and mine is brand new.  But then a real wager was put down and there was no backing down, especially because I still think I'm right. Until I told my roommate and her response “there is no way and that’s going all over facebook when it happens.” So in a slight moment of panic, I considered “throwing” the bet but we’...
