I just watched LIVE, the 12-round demolition of Miguel Cotto by Manny Pacquiao earning Manny the WBO welterweight title. Manny created history by winning a seventh world title in an unprecedented seventh weight division.

Manny was simply superb – very lively, darting in and out, punched with lightning speed and accuracy and although he stepped up in weight, it did not show one bit.

I watched the David Haye Vs Nikolai Valuev WBA Heavyweight title fight a couple of hours ago. There was a lot of hype before the fight billed as “David Vs Goliath”, given the whopping 7 stone weight difference and significant height difference between the two boxers.

It’s been a little more than a week since I started my fitness regimen and I have seen some good results (lost 1.4 kg). It’s been ages since I last saw myself weigh under 80 kg. Now, that’s what I’m talkin’ about! Well, I have to ensure I keep following the regimen properly to obtain consistent results.

Today, the inaugural Airtel Champions League Twenty Twenty (CLT20) kicked off with the first match played between the Royal Challengers Bangalore (India) and the Cape Cobras (South Africa). The Cape Cobras won the match with some exceptional batting by Jean-Paul Duminy, scoring an unbeaten 99 of 52 balls.

With the T20 format becoming wholesome entertainment, I guess the Cricket Administrators took a cue from the UEFA Champions League and created CLT20.

I haven’t blogged for about a week, because I’ve been busy planning a fitness regimen and getting mentally prepared to execute it.

Well, I was looking for something challenging to do and realized that the biggest challenge I could give myself is something I have so often repeatedly failed at in the past – a fitness regimen.

I’ve read a lot of literature on weight loss and fat loss (library books, my own books and www resources) and I’ve decided that it’s pointless following some fad diet out there or paying for a fitness instructor/program, because all it takes for a fitness regimen to work is a combination of knowledge and determination – the knowledge of how the human body works and how it reacts to diet and exercise and the determination to do the correct thing and avoid temptation.
