A change is in the air.

Last night was a rough one for me, I drank a little too much which is no big deal. Nothing wrong with letting loose every now and then. I ate a little too much, which is starting to catch up with me. I have become a little too lax in my diet. Normally that would be no big deal but with the fact I can not really exercise, well at least not like I used to, I am packing on some pounds. I weighed myself yesterday and  I was 230.4 pounds. I am up 30 pounds from my last tournament and even then I was up 15 pounds from my lowest weight. Growing up a fat kid you resort to food as your escape, So since being injured I have been comforting myself with food. I am not happy about this so the diet is back on hardcore. I am not going to go back to the way I was, I was unhappy at that weight and what makes me happy is being a lean, mean, Jiu Jitsu Fighting machine. I was hoping to get to practice today for the open mat, but when I woke up my arm was not feeling right and I am not about to push it, If I do not feel good about something I am not going to do it.

Last night was also a rough one for me because my teammate Pete "drago" Sell had a fight on the UFC card. If you saw the fight then you know what I am talking about. I am not going to go into details but Pete is a Warrior through and through, That man has a heart bigger than anyones I have ever seen. 

On another note, I am actually back at work. My elbow is not that bad to work with, just no heavy lifting and no full extension of my elbow. I am glad to have money in my pocket again, life unemployed and injured is not as glamorous as it sounds. I am back to saving money and soon back to training, My job is something that actually help my diet I have access to fresh produce and lean meats, I also get to cook my own meals which is something that if you want to lose weight you have to do, If you take the time to make your own meals you know what is exactly going into your meals and you will not be stuck eating crap.

I have been watching Jiu Jitsu Instructionals and one move has stuck out that will be one of the first moves I rep when the brace comes off. Its a Brabo choke, I have fallen in love with the Brabo choke and have been researching all the different positions and transitions you get from attempting this choke. Here is the choke that I will be repping like crazy.
