Yesterday I was sitting in my room, STARVING, and I started thinking about the weekend and fighting at 132. Last night I was at 140 and I could barely concentrate on studying because my headache was so bad. I was on the verge of breaking...

So I ordered a large pizza and said, 'f this'...

It didn't play out exactly like that, but close enough. I talked with a buddy that is my size and he wrestles for Army and we kind of came to the conclusion that even if I were to somehow make it down anothe 8 pounds by Saturday - the last thing I should do is enter a Judo tournament.

So - I will fight at 145 and go into the tourney being well rested and energized. Its ok that I will be fighting up - I can deal with that.

Poker hasn't been to fabulous this week. I will make up for that tonight though

This will be my last post until after the weekend when I can update on the tourney. Until then...

Eating is good!! No one needs to fight if they're dizzy and weak.

i like your solution. being hungry sucks! my gabe and i were talking last night about having to cut weight for wrestling, and our consensus was that its hardly worth the horrible mood that you are in when you are not eating. i know i would probably be irritable and not want anyone to talk to me. gabe wrestled in the 130 weight class all 4 years of high school, and my general observation has been that freshman boys usually grow and gain a considerable amount of weight by the time they are seniors, so i can't even imagine how he managed that.

i think you made a good decision. good job! and good luck with everything. ttyl. take care.

Good for you! Going into a Judo tournament all dizzy and headachy would only get your butt kicked. Plus, a large pizza is enough to make anybody happy, as long as it's a veggie pizza. I hate meat on a pizza. Anyway, sorry I haven't been around. I've had a LONG week.........

Have fun and good luck at your tourny, and if you don't update by Monday with your results, I'm gonna have to drive up there and Judo chop your booty!! Later.........

P.S. You got an "honorable mention" in my post from today (Thursday), so be sure to check it out.
