After the Olympic Trials in February, its been pretty hard for me to muster any energy into networking and updating this site. For those who are reading and not really sure what happened during the trials, I will direct you to the LA Times. I’ve spent months talking about it and well, let’s just say I don’t really feel like talking about it right now.

With the Olympics going on, I want to say I’m happy for all the athletes and I am wishing Team USA all the best. Yes, this is true, but its like wishing your ex-girlfriend good luck after she shattered your heart. I am cheering my former teammates on and wishing for only gold medals  but it definitely is rough doing so. My heart is broken, but I will love again. As soon as I get in the ring and start my professional career, I can set my sights on new goals and leave behind the disappointment of my amateur career.

I need something to do in the meantime however. So I brainstormed a little project to keep me from getting too fat while I’m putting in the finishing touches to my rehabilitation. Like many boxers, I can be a little porker in my downtime. To keep myself honest, I’m going to give myself 6 weeks to start getting some pre-training camp juicyness. Whether anyone reads this or not, putting my tubby picture up online is certainly motivation. Plus I hate losing, so its my method of holding myself accountable! Bonus side-effect, it may help out other people who are curious on how a butch gets back in shape.

Stay tuned. Tomorrow I’ll have up my starting pictures from Monday, July 30th and explain how I start weaning myself into a healthier me!
