The Aftermath

It's been three weeks since my semi-pro Title fight and I can honestly say I'm: 10 % heavier, 20% as fit, 50% as attractive and 100% happier then I was last time I blogged on this website. As the DVD hasn't been released yet I can't comment on my performance but I can say I'm happy with the result and everything else, except the fact my opponent; Christopher Spang was better looking then me, I'm pretty devastated about that.

After the fight my manager: David Kirkland (Fighters Only's Advertising Manager) and my Dad walked into the changing rooms to see me but they got more then they bargained for. They found me with my head in a bucket, filling it with the contents of my stomach. Standing beside was my coach Eddie Ng laughing at me saying: "that happened to me the 1st time I went the distance". I found out the hard way I had fell into the trap of eating too much food after being weighed in. I felt a little bit sick before the fight, but thought that was just nerves. Turns out it wasn't. What really annoyed me though was I was too ill to enjoy a post fight pizza and had to resort to going to bed on an empty stomach!

After a fight is when your most inclined to binge on the type of food that just isn't meant to be ate: MacDonald's, KFC's, pizzas, chips....and the list goes on. I've been eating nothing but this religiously for the past 3 weeks resulting in muscle loss and fat gains. Every time I attempt to get back on track with a good diet the chocolate brownies and cookies sneakily work their way back in there. If I keep putting weight on this fast I'm going to become the first fighter to jump 3 weight classes in 3 months!
