March 22nd

Nose still hurting, so decided not to spar and did heavy bag training etc. instead.

Diet
Breakfast: Oatmeal, nuts and sugar
Mid-morning: Tuna, ricecake, boiled egg, apple
Lunch: Homemade chicken curry, steamed veg
Mid-afternoon: Tuna, ricecake, boiled egg, apple
Dinner: Homemade chicken curry, rice, mango chutney

The curry is basically chicken in a tadka daal, so lots of lentils and spices. Didn’t go well with lunchtime vegetables though, so won’t be having it for lunch any more.

Exercise
Warmup: Skipping, 5 minutes or so
Heavy bag: Worked for about 30 minutes, doing various exercises including punchouts, jab drills, combinations, 2 minute rounds.
Weighted punches: 3lb hand weights, 3 x2 minutes, 1 minute break between sets
Incline situps with twist: 2 x50, 2 minute break between sets
Circuit: 10 pressups, 10 crunches, 10 russian twists, 10 squat thrusts, 10 burpees, 10 ring jumps. Repeat, rest 1 minute = 1 set. Did 2 sets.
Warmdown: 2 minutes shadow boxing.
Stretches

Good hard session. I wish I could have done sparring though. I’ve been told that we don’t spar after the weigh in, so we’ve maybe only got 2 sessions of sparring left before the fight.

Felt pretty good, was hitting the bag well and felt quite fit. I could do with more sleep though.

Weighed 74.8 kg this morning, still losing weight.

20 days to go...
