So yesterday after work, I went to a meeting in Tokyo and we talked about very exciting things happening with my beloved company. \ud83d\ude42 (no sarcasm) I really love my company- that’s why I go to the meetings!<\/p>\n

Anyway, then at 7, I went to Oimachi for my test weight cut. I’d had a light breakfast, a light lunch, but a big melon pan (sugar bread) which is light weight but high in calories, hoping to hold me over through dinner. Then I stopped eating and drinking. So in the morning, I was like 132ish lbs…maybe even 131. (I actually forgot to weigh myself Sunday morning, but I was 132 Saturday morning…but I’d trained Saturday night, so sometimes I go down). When I got to the gym, I weighed myself on my own scale and I was 129 point something pounds. <\/p>\n

After jumping rope to warm up and break a sweat, I did 5 minutes in the sauna, 5 minutes on the eliptical. Then that changed to walking. Then when I got wobbly, that changed to the bicycle. Then, taking my shoes off seemed like too much effort, so I just sat outside the sauna. u_U After three hours of such a cycle, I made 125 lbs.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nIt was SO hot in there, that my sauna suit felt like it was melting, and the zipper on my fleece burned me if I touched it. The tips of my ears felt like they were burning, so I tried to sit close to the floor, away from the heater thingies on the ceiling. Are sauna’s supposed to be 91 degrees C?? lol<\/p>\n

Now….the whole purpose is to see A) How much weight I can actually lose by this method, B) if I can start from a higher weight and cut down. <\/p>\n

Because for Rosi’s fight in Cage Warriors, my legs were cramping up and for Black Eye, my arms were. I just don’t feel good at that weight, but I dieted to 128 and then did the ‘no drinking or eating for a day and change.” So I’m hoping I can start from 132 or 133, where I feel stronger. Actually, I feel strong BEING 135, but everyone else cuts DOWN to 135. *sigh* It’s such a problem! I’m so stuck between weight classes. <\/p>\n

Anyway.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I don’t think the circumstances were exactly the same as they might be if I were fighting. I should have started a little heavier, and I might have gone to bed and woken up lighter. I actually didn’t trust myself to wobble home, so I just rehydrated once I made 125. Then I had rice and bread and eggs( slowly). And I digested it well! I didn’t have the huge stomachaches I always do before fights, when I starve myself.<\/p>\n

I was telling myself that I should try again another time, but I’d already been doing it for 2 hours, and I’m sure my brain was telling me anything to convince me to stop, so I was determined to stick it out.<\/p>\n

But I’m exhausted from Saturday training. So my final test is to see how practice goes tonight, and I hope if I’m cramping, it’s because I did a zillion take downs on Saturday, not because of my low weight. I have to gain weight. ~_~; Good weight. <\/p>\n

Before breakfast this morning, I was 127.6 lbs. wtf…. ~_~; After, 129. DAMN I hope I didn’t lose muscle weight. I already can’t gain it so well. This fighter sh*t is so crazy. <\/p>\n

My mini-scale is too mini! It’s too small for my size 10 footsies! My toes always hang off, so I decided to try standing on my tip toes in the centers of each sides, and then I started getting different readins! @_@;; Well, the Oimachi Gold’s gym scale is TWO POUNDS off. I suspected this…

At least I can have an ice cream cone completely guilt free today…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
