day 2 and 3

Day 2...
----------
Yesterday I decided to skip morning training and let my body adjust to this heat!
The hard thing about that, is I am living 2 footsteps from the ring and every time I wanted to use the bathroom I have to walk past the trainers and one trainer in particular (BUNG) gives me dirty looks as to say "you lazy bastard". he probably isnt but it seems like that.
I went for a cool motorbike ride around southern Phuket and got pretty burnt.. Not applying any sunscreen doesnt help. I had a sports massage and the lady brusied me pretty hard but there are alot of knots in my calfs that she has to work on.

I sparred yesterday afternoon and did quiet well seeing though it was my first time.

I ended up going to bed at around 830.

Day 3
--------
I didnt something this morning that I havnt done since I was a kid..
After shadow boxing, I started punching the bags.. I had a weird sensation in my stomach, I then started coughing and before you knew it I was throwing up in the garden next to my punching bag! No one looked twice, I ended up having a swig of water and going back to my training!
I then started some light sparring with Jordan (Canadian guy), as I went to kick him he blocked with his shin, as i have virgin shins my right shin got really inflammed really fast! I decided to use my left leg and the same thing happened so i pulled the plug on sparring and waited for my shins to stop throbbing then I went to doing 100 sit ups, 100 front kicks and 100 knees to the bag.

Im not going to train this afternoon as I need to listen to my body and its about time i have a rest for this afternoon. Its going to take a few days for my body to catch up as my head is in the right place.

Well I'm here!!! Oh MY Fuc*en GOD!!!

I arrived at the airport last night and the second I walked off the plane onto the Airbridge, the humidity SMACKED me in the face... The smell of humidity really woke me up..
I woke up this morning (5:30am) and went for a run.. I jogged for about 2kms and came back like I was put through the washing machine, My clothes wre drenched!!
WHen I got back from the jog, one of the trainers told me to put my wraps on and work with him... 2 Hours, 350 situps and 20 pushups later and I was done!! I took off my singlet and wringed it out like drenched towel!!

Pics to come...

T- Minus 5 hours

Hey Guys,
Well its finally time. Its 9am on the morning of tale off to the land of smiles.
Im showered, shaved and ready to go.
I have packed my suitcase, its weighed in at 18kgs (allowable limit is 20kgs). Not too much room to play with to buy gifts etc so I may have to FedEx my clothes home so I'm not charged the crazy excess luggage fees.

I thought I would post my before shots now so you can all see the transformation..... They are a little embarrasing and inciminating, but hey, all the more to change it right?

Ill conclude with my pics & a favourite saying of mine which is from the man that was befor his time Cassius Clay.. AKA "Mohammed Ali"

"I hated every minute of training, but I said, ''Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.''
