Im determined not to count grams or calories properly as I train and try to lose weight did it for years even when cheating on diets or not really dieting. I was always mindful and writing it down.

This time its about exercise NOT diet for me.

I am trying to lose 2 stone! I am 16st 9 and want to be 14st 9lbs! ie MMA Light-heavyweight limit. Seemed like a good idea. By the time im that weight ill be well into my MMA learning and fitness will be full on. I imagine to get there I will need to lose a little muscle - probably around my glutes and thighs, but will also need to be ripped. So for now Im just massively upping cardio, training bodyweight hard with the beast skills and eating clean...ish.

And I cant wait to start MMA but my rib is still so bad and the twins aren't out yet!

Training has been good. Today was great:

Cycled to station initially. 2 miles downhill, 6 mins heart rate approx 150bpm.
Then after a quick ten min walk/jog from the tube station in the gym for circuit training. 3 x circuits of the following:

10 x 5+ hit bag combos full power with 8 limbs.
15 press ups on knuckles
5 pull ups
40 leg to leg jumping lunges
10 crunches
6 hang clean and press @45kg.

At about 90% effort with regards to pace in between exercises around the circuit.
Eah circuit took 6 mins with 2 mins rest in between. Working towards 5 mins 100% all out as hard as I possibly can with 1 minute rest in between for 5 rounds – a la MMA rounds basis.

Cycling home from station later. 2 miles UPhill. Aiming for 10mins.

Just have to say im loving this new training. Im going to really transform myself. Cant wait to be ripped, fit and light. And an MMA fighter!
Need to get on the mat and learn and train.
