Starting all over

Well today was my first day back at training since my disappointing performance on DARE Championships 9 days ago. I had planned on getting straight back into training last week as I never picked up any injuries in the fight, but after getting back to Phuket the fight and all the events before and after started to sink in and it all hit me hard.

I had the week off and thought comforting myself with ice cream and chocolate would help but it we all know it never helps for long. I finally came to my senses and realised that staying in my room eating junk and thinking was just making everything worse and that I needed to get back in the gym and train for the next one.

I started off with the morning Muay Thai and this afternoon had a private lesson with Nazee. It was good to get back in and train, going build myself up this week and work out and proper training shedule to get myself fighting fit ASAP. I know that the best thing for me to do is to get more experience in the ring/cage so I can get used to dealing with the whole mental side of things and perform the way I know I can. The plan is to keep training and get more experience by doing Muay Thai fights and more MMA smoker fights.

Once I work off all the ice cream and chocolate I stuffed down my face last week, look out for me fighting Muay Thai in Patong very soon :)
