Medical update, physicians opinion and back to the training

I went to see a doctor today for my gout and things looked fine.
My physician, Dr. Ramos (great doctor) recommended
that I keep dropping my weight.
I asked him to give me a weight loss homework.
It is 220 lbs.

I am 233 today and I am dropping,
so I am hoping that in 3 months I will be at low 220s.

I started training Judo 3-4 times a week.
I also went to gym today for a swim for 20 min,
run for 10 and fast and intensive high repetitions weight
training for 10 min. I always do endurance-circuit
training to avoid bulking up.
I bulk up too easily, and that will not help my weight drop goals).

All was good.
I do have some hip joint pain from Judo this last week,
but it must be from not doing Judo in high speed for a while.

Training Log

After series of injuries,
and starting the PhD program I got seriously out of shape.

It is time to start getting back in shape for serious Judo.

I am still recovering from what some doctors think is a
bone spurt and some think is a gout, so I cannot run.

I am starting the fitness program with 235 lbs.
My goal is to get to 218 lbs within three months and to
get back into 4x5 min Nage Waza randori and 2x15 Ne Waza
randori shape.

I will be posting my progress on these pages.
