"Aaah say-ah...my brethren...throw off your chains of fat!"

Just look at that number... 215.6lbs that means since I started this shindig 24 days ago I've lost almost 13 lbs. Lets call that a minor victory and a sign that I'm doing something right! My stomach is flatter, my freakishly overdeveloped legs are even leaner, there is more definition in my shoulders and arms and I think I'm down 1/2 a chin or more...

Muay Thai was a really good time yesterday. I learned how to slip punches properly and also how to mount a proper defense as opposed to attacking all the time. Sparring was a lot of fun as always and for some reason slightly less terrifying. I should probably purchase some headgear of my own as the last thing I want to do is catch some skin condition from the stuff they have in class. I only took two hard hits one while I was momentarily deciding which way to slip an incoming punch an instead did nothing and the second when I didn't block a rib kick from James.

I'm going to MMA tonight even though my legs are killing me and I would really like to see Raegan more. I'm sure she would like to see me more often but perhaps see less of me when I'm there. So it looks like I've got 20.5 lbs to lose and just over 93 days to do it in. Ultimately I need to lose about 1.5lbs per week for the next 13 weeks. If it was easy everyone would be doing it...
