Its been about 3 weeks since I started cutting weight and rehabbing my shoulder. The training has been going well. I am loosing weight and my shoulder is getting stronger.
Over the last few weeks I have lost about 8 lbs. I am about 158 lbs now. I would like to loose at least 6 more pounds to get down to pena (Feather Weight) which is 154 lbs in the Gi. Which means that I need to be about 151 lbs the day of the tournament. So if I'm walking around at 152 to 153 that should be good. My goal was to get the weight down by the middle of next month (for the next round of Jiu-Jitsu tournaments) so I still have a few weeks to get there. It may be close but I am pretty confident that I will make it. I also want to fight at the No-Gi Pan-Ams this year which means I will need to be 149 lbs in shorts and T-shirt but I have a little more time for that.
Yesterday when I got off of work I went straight to the school to teach the 5 o'clock class. Then I ran 3 miles, did the No-Gi Class and then did the advanced class. After that I taught the 10 o'clock class got some food and went home for an Ice bath. Its a very long day but I love it.
I did another Ice Bath last night. I'm trying to do about two a week. It is miserable but it really helps me to train hard every day, and I need to keep up this pace to get my weight down in time. Right now I am only going in up to my waist. I need to try to get my shoulder under but it is very hard to get that low. I tried last night and it didn't go well...
The only thing that concerns me about being ready for next month is my shoulder. I separated the AC joint 2 weeks before worlds this year. It has really hurt my ability to train over the last couple months but it is finally starting to get better. It is still week and sore if I roll on it. I am hoping that it is also ready by next month.
