As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Tapping Into My Water Weight... Wednesday, April 12

Water restriction 101.

In attempt to see how much I can manipulate my weight in one day, I tapped into my water weight and tested out restricting my water.  

I weighed myself before boxing.
I weighted myself after boxing.

Despite drinking 2Ls of water during boxing, I had sweated out 3lbs of water weight.

Three pounds of body water weight... Wow.  With temperatures at Elorde in the mid 30's and my training stretching out to roughly two and a half hours, it's a crazy drop in weight but not really when you consider the intensity of my training and training environment.  

I drank water to my heart's content during boxing but then limited myself to only the bare minimum with liquids for the rest of the day -- 2 small coffees and about 300ml during evening weight training.

I must have complained about a billion trillion times about being thirsty during the rest of the day!

Coach Garry thinks I'll only drop a few pounds, I'm aiming for 7 but expecting 5lbs.
