I figured going into this show that this would be the very last reasonable chance for me to make the middleweight class, so at 1 day out (day of weigh ins) I decided to try to make it down and here's what happened.
Last night (2 days out) I weighed between 188 and 192 throughout the evening. This was likely due to drinking 5 gallons of water throughout the day.
I woke up weighing 181-182.
I went into weigh ins and stepped on the scale unofficially for the first time at 179, then 178.9.
Team Rodriguez (my girlfriend Loren and I -ha) decided to see if we can make it down to the middleweight cutoff of 176.25 one last time.
We went next door to a gym and I sat in the sauna/steam room.
went back weighed in unoffically (just stepped on the scale by myself) at 177.4 ; back to the steam room...
finally third time was a charm and I officially weighed in at 175.2!
So middleweights it is.
Here is a 1 day out picture... Cooking/eating beef and brown rice in the hotel room (no kitchen=electric wok).
