Okay, so I started this whole boxing thing, and man, was I heavy. I mean, we’re talking really heavy. I got into it, and right from the get-go, I knew I had to drop some serious weight. It was tough, no doubt. Cutting back on all the good stuff, you know? But I stuck with it.
I started hitting the gym, not just for the boxing but also to shed those pounds. I remember stepping on the scale at the beginning and thinking, “Whoa, this is going to be a long journey.” But every day, I pushed myself. More workouts, better food choices – the whole nine yards. It was a grind, but I was determined.
Slowly but surely, I started seeing changes. My clothes fit better, I felt lighter on my feet, and my stamina in the ring improved. It was like, “Hey, this is actually working!” Every pound I lost felt like a small victory. I kept track of my weight, celebrated the milestones, and kept pushing forward.
- Started boxing: Weighed a ton.
- Diet changes: This was the hardest part.
- Gym time: Became a regular, no excuses.
- Seeing results: Clothes fitting better, feeling lighter.
- Keeping track: Every pound lost was a win.
Then came the time for my first big fight at 165 pounds. I had to lose another 20 pounds for it. I remember thinking, “Can I really do this?” But I doubled down. More intense training, even stricter diet. It was grueling, but I had a goal in sight.
The Weigh-In
When the day for the weigh-in came, I stepped on the scale, and boom – 165 pounds. I had done it. It felt amazing, like a huge weight off my shoulders, literally. People around me couldn’t believe it. They were like, “Is that really you, Salt Papi?”
Looking back, it’s crazy to think about the transformation. I lost over 165 pounds in total. It changed my life, not just my boxing career. People started noticing, not just in the boxing world but everywhere. They say I’m an inspiration, which is still kind of weird to me, but cool, you know?
So, that’s my story. It was a long and hard road, but totally worth it. It’s not just about the weight I lost, but what I gained – confidence, health, and a whole new outlook on life. And hey, if I can do it, anyone can. You just gotta put in the work and stay focused. It’s all about the journey, right?
