Here's to 2 days of consistency...
Well it looks like I’m back to difficulty sleeping which makes it hard to get up and train in the morning. That being said I’m doing my best to kick my ass at home with calisthenics and then give it my all at night training.
Here’s to getting my shit together.

Random pushups
So I have a shitty shoulder. It hurts to do pullups and pushups and any similar motion. So I have decided that to strengthen them I should do those exercises I find most difficult. So now at random intervals throughout the day I drop and do some pushups or if I’m by my pullup bar I do a few. It’s been 3 days I already feel stronger in my pushups.

Good jits training at ATT Sunrise tonight.
Maybe it was my week off cause I was sick… Maybe it was the meh food since i was just sitting around being shitty…. maybe it was cause I came in on fire and pushed pretty hard the whole time…. but tonight I gassed HARD. I almost passed out after class.
Do it again tomorrow… Cause some havoc at Crossfit and then Muay Thai at ATT...
walking alone.: Investment in loss. →
wayofwalkingalone:
Its a term that I read about in what has become my favorite book, “The Art of Learning” by BJJ brown belt Josh Waitzkin. To see “failure” as a tool, a lesson learned. I’ve seen too many people train with fear,fear of getting tapped or taken down or getting caught with a over hand right. That fear…

Wake up weight: 223lbs
Goin back to solid food has slightly slowed my weight loss but overall I feel better and less angry so thats good.
Last night I headed in to ATT HQ for Master Katel’s Muay Thai for MMA class. We focus’s strongly on distancing for straight punches, head movement, head & body movement, head & body movement while counter attacking, etc..
After that I...

Had work this weekend and was a little more lax with my eating than I’d like to be but wasn’t too too bad. No real progress on the weight loss because of it.
-Question- Does anyone else have trouble focusing on their diet without a major goal in mind? I get distracted.
None the less…
Good training this morning. Gi class with Master Parrumpinha and Junior. Started the class off...

Wake up weight: 223.2
so the majority of the weight I put on the other night is gone. PHEW. I was really stressing. My groin is feeling better so Monday should be back to work. Maybe go for a run tomorrow since I got work in an hour.
With the amount of gym time I put in i think pure juicing might make me insane so what I think I’ll be doing is 2-3 juices a day and anther 2-3 veggie meals...

Wake up weight: 226
So last night I went out to a meet and greet event for his friend’s tattoo shop. I was good, no booze or anything like that but I didn’t bring any juice with me and afterwards he wanted to stop for food and I was too fucking hungry to wait till i got home. I ate. I’m ashamed, but I did. It wasn’t even the kinda place where I coulda got a salad,...

Wake up weight 220.2lbs
Pulled my groin last night. really wanna keep on the grind today and train more but every time I ignore something minimal like this I just aggravate it and make it worse for longer. I’ll end up doin an at home workout maybe go for a walk or a jog if it doesn’t hurt too badly.
None the less, juice fast is goin great. I’m aching for some...
