Tuesday morning I found this San Shou / Wushu academy called “Dragon Dorado Wushu” (Golden Dragon Wushu), they are located in a municipal sport complex (pool, 400 track, soccer and baseball field, indoor basketball court) and it’s cheap!! ($200mx/month, about $20 dls) so I gave it a try, class starts 8:00 and ends 10:00 pm in a little classroom, and after the municipal handball team ends training we move to the court, turns out some girl next door goes and other friend go there I guess it helps that some people you already know go there, makes me feel a little bit more confident.

They have a team called “Iron Fighter Team” and also they’re starting a San Shou league where they invite other gyms, the winner take home the “Iron Fighter Trophy”, it would be interesting to join the team, lets give it a couple of months so I can get in shape and learn some more techniques or combos or whatever

Monday I had a 2km (1 1/4 mile) power walk, no music, just thinking about a lot of things…

Food this week has been as usual, green tea in the morning, beef or chicken for lunch, and this smoothie I make with 1 cup non-lactose milk + 1 teaspoon PB + 1 teaspoon oatmeal + 1/2 banana (sometimes)…

Body is still sore from first San Shou lesson, it got me really exhausted but I know I can handle the second one and the whole month… I feel something is coming… something really good… I’ll keep you posted!

So, this shorty is my main motivation, you will see the changes.

This in my journey from the big, fat, unemployed bastard that I am right now, to the big, fit, employed and still bastard I will be in the near future.

The goals are…

• First of all, get a job, not any job, I dont want to become a telemarketer or something like that, nothing wrong with it, but it’s just not me. I’m an architect, so, any construction /design related thing will do it. No strict financial expectations, I just need a job
• Get fit, or at least reach a healthy weight, wich, since I’m 1.70m the goal will be 66.00 / 68.00kg (I’m actually 90-00 / 95.00) this through what I call “backyard boxing” (just me and the “heavy bag”) later on I’ll join some MMA gym.
• Earn enough money to rent an apartment or house (big enough for me and my GF… and her dog)

I’ll be posting everything from work outs, to job interviews, to movies I watch, to the music I work out with, I actually can handle 4 x 3 minutes rounds on the heavy bag.

My gym equipment is the next: heavy bag, boxing gloves (14 on), mma training gloves, jumping rope, stationary bike (so old…!!) an old tire (R17 i think), a home-made medball (5 kg, is the first one I’ve made so, let’s just say it’s not very pretty, but it works), and a home made sand-bag (11 kg, can’t handle more weight at the moment)

So, the goal will be to complete 5 x 3:00 rounds on the heavy bag to the end of this week.

CHEERS..!!!!
