Going In the Right Direction

ENTRY 390

With just three weeks to go until the Golden Gloves preliminaries, I am slowly beginning to ramp-up training.

I have been doing target pad work with the coach plus working on a couple of things he suggested, in addition to that leg-killer treadmill exercise. I have also been working abs every day, and cardio.

Working on both technical and power on the heavy bag, and defence using the double-ended ball.

I have even gone back to using the speed bag. I have not done speed bag in a long time. 

I didn't forget how.

On Saturday I sparred eight rounds. Four with Coach Brock and four with Sarah.

I like sparring the coach because he can give me feedback better than if he was just watching.

I have a couple of small things to still work on. 

That is not a problem. My feeling is that there is no such thing as the perfect athlete. 

There should always be something to work on to continue raising the bar.

. 

As I mentioned last week, in addition to more training, I will be on a special diet to keep myself well within the Light-Heavyweight division.

It seems to be working.

With my new diet plus just an additional 20 minutes of cardio three times this week, this is what I was able to achieve in just one week.

Here are this week's readings:

Compared to last week's:

Fat is down, muscle mass is up, and I lost a total of two pounds.
That is always a good thing.
It is not a huge change, but it is a change in the right direction.

Three weeks to go! 
Let's go!
