Weigh In Day: Lost 4 Pounds In Two Weeks
Weighing in is a Saturday morning ritual for me. Because of the weight classes, competitive boxing heavily involves weight management, diet, etc. At this point I probably fret over my weight and diet more than most women.
Everybody has an ideal weight class, where they are at their fastest, have their best strength-to-weight ratio and can take the punches. In the past when I’ve trained rigorously, I’ve been able to get down to 178 lbs, which for me was about 10% body fat and gave me a 4 pack (damn those persistent love handles!).
Yesterday I weighed in at 182.4 lbs. Last week I weighed 183.8 and 186.4 the week before! Four lbs lost in 2 weeks and I’m almost in the 170’s!!!
