Killing it

GermanyMarine — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:47:56 +0000

There are days when I just get crazy, yesterday was one of those days. I am sure it was because my motivation as way low and I posted a Blog about it and several people responded, this gave me a lot of motivation so thanks for that and "Nic" you are the sh-t…So yesterday I hit a 4 mile run in the morning, then at lunch hit 20 minutes on the Elliptical to warm up, curshed legs and chest (back to sets of 225lbs), then hit the pool after work for a 500 meter swim. Yeah I was wasted, at the end of the day I hit the rack at 9pm and slept until 0615 and it was a sound sleep. So today I have arms, i skipped the cardio this morning but I have Thai boxing tonight so I will get cardio then for sure. Sometimes it feels good to kill, the bad part is I can’t do that all the time, it sucks getting old;)

Wondering who cares

GermanyMarine — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:11:10 +0000

Sometimes I wonder who really cares and who is just on BB to show off. I always message people trying to give words of encouragement or checking on folks after a weekend etc…However I only get one person who seems to care enough to write back (Thanks Jen). Now I know I am not the most beastly guy out there, but I am in decent shape, yes I am a tuff guy and yes I have fought 7 times in a cage (or ring) as an MMA fighter as well I have way to many boxing matches to try to remember. However I still find myself in need of some motivation or really someone to take an interest in how I am doing physically. Truthfully I have been hitting a downslide, now I am not sure if it is due to personel issues a lack of a solid partner or what but it is really getting to me and I am having a harder and harder time staying focused on the diet and now even on training. I am not sure what is going on with me, maybe I need a new goal. Not being able to compete (fight) anymore has really set me back I am sure. I don’t know, however I do know that it does bother me that I seem to care a lot more about people on here than they care about me maybe if I finally get rid of the luv handles and get teh 8 back people will care more, but how shallow is that. I don’t know, maybe I am just having one of those days. I hope everyone else is keeping there motivation up there.

Getting my focus Back

Well I had to see the doctor again this week being I am still tender for my butchered vascetomy, turns out they could not finish (because the military doctor was a dumb ass) but they might have destroyed my left tube anyway in there attempts to finish. Well that being said I am not going to have another surgery for a bit so it is time to re focus and get my motivation back to a clean diet, cut the drinking/partying and work to get back into fighting shape. I am not as young as I used to be but I would like to rock the cage a few more times. It is more of a rush than I can even explain..Everyone needs a passion, but these days (being in Germany) I feel it is going to be a real challenge to keep the diet clean without the partying. I am going to need strong training partners and good training sessions planned to keep me focused and motivated. Lets hope things work out for the best…

Fight Stuttgart Germany

GermanyMarine — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 13:34:52 +0000

My partner/hommie/Protege is making his Pro Debut tomorrow night here in Germany. He should do well if he preforms to his potential, stays calm and focus’s on his Technique, stays in the box and does not turn it into a slug fest. He is fighting a Turkish kid who has a fat chin and monster round kick, so it should be a good show. It is more nerve racking being someone coach then actually fighting, being I want him to perform but can’t make him, he has the tools to go far in the game and he is young all I can do is pray for focus. I have learned a lot of things in the fight game the hard way, which is why I try my best to impart that knowledge to him for his future. Lets see how he does folks, and hope he gets a sponsor out of this one Takeanapfightgear.com has come through with the gear, now if he wins lets hope they come through with the deal….

Working out with my Lady

GermanyMarine — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:06:40 +0000

Got a great workout yesterday with my lady, we hit back and arms. I was way supprised when she said she was ready to get back into the weight room, and excited at the same time. It is super motivating to spend that quality time with her in the gym and have her push me when I am getting tired. I am recently back into the gym so I am starting of slow again so that helps her to keep up being she has been away from the wieght room for a bit. Her youth keeps her looking good with out a lot of training. I hope I am not the only one who enjoys working out with there loved one, it is pretty cool.

UFC 99 this weekend

GermanyMarine — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 17:28:28 +0000

I am so ready for the week to be over, so I can watch the UFC live here in Germany. MMA is a passion, that takes much sacrifice to be great. There are a lot of tuff guys out there but it takes a lot of determination to be great. I can not wait to see some of the fighters I look up to throw down in the cage it is going to be great.

Going to Texas San Antonio

GermanyMarine — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:58:23 +0000

WOW I got lucky and I am going to San Antonio next week and I am pretty excited because I get to see my kids (previous marriage). I am hoping there is a good gym at the Hotel, it looks great on the website but we have all be through that one before LOL. I was also hoping to get in a training session at an MMA or Thai boxing gym if I can find on in the area but we will have to see. I am sure I will have some fun with my children as well and even though I am there for work I am so looking forward to seeing them. Anyway if anyone knows a good gym in the downtown area please let me know and I am looking forward to being in the States for a week.
