Last night's classes at Inferno MMA were great. It seems every week, a few new faces come in for a trial, and that is encouraging to me. Both the students and instructors are all patient and accommodating of new people, even big lugs like me, but there's an additional confidence that comes from knowing your not the only one starting out from scratch.
I got to practice grappling with several partners, notably a guy on the Inferno Fight Team named Chris, who is nearest my height and weight among the students I've met. After practicing passing the guard, we learned some new moves, and then took turns free-rolling with different partners.
Today, I am happy to report that not only did I feel better while jumping rope, my calves feel amazing today. The only soreness I feel comes not from working out, but from lugging around camera gear at work. I'm feeling bold enough to consider taking a swim, rest day be damned.
In an unexpected development, I seemingly dropped 10 lbs overnight. By my personal scale at home, I weighed 390 lbs before bed, and 380 lbs this morning. I know it's all water weight, but I'll take any encouragement I can.
Starting Weight: 395 lbs
Current Weight: 380 lbs
