De draad weer oppakken:
Zoals misschien vele vrienden al weten ben ik eind 2010 en begin 2011 geteisterd door blessures. Eind oktober na mijn toernooi in Ede heb ik een blessure aan mijn elleboog gekregen. Dit is na een maand over… dat dacht ik, na 2 weken trainen kwam de blessure weer terug.
Dit was midden december. Mijn caveman dieet was niet meer en viel in een depressie. Niet te zien aan de buitenkant maar aan de binnenkant ging ik er kapot aan. Feest maand december was volop bezig en ik at lekker veel. Dit ten slechte van mijn gewicht ik was van 98KG weer naar 110+ KG gegaan. Dit is niet veranderd in 2011. Ik had nog geprobeerd om het weer op te pakken maar tevergeefs, mijn motivatie was in een dieptepunt beland. En het kon me even niet meer schelen. Ik heb voor mijn gevoel mensen teleurgesteld, in de steek gelaten en niet laten zien wat er met me aan de hand was. Dit had ik wel moeten doen want ik weet zeker dat me zouden kunnen helpen.
Paar maanden daarna heb ik mijn grote idool ontmoet. Fedor Emelianenko. Dit was ongelofelijk, ik voelde de kracht die ik had tijdens mijn goede dagen. Helaas was de werkelijkheid anders. Immers de dokter had gezegd dat het niet meer verstandig was om MMA te beoefenen.
Op een avond paar weken na Fedors ontmoeting heb ik samen met mijn vriendin Marja gepraat, de tranen vloeide uit mijn ogen. Mijn droom om een goede MMA vechter te worden leek te zijn verdwenen. Maar juist door dit gesprek heb ik volgens mij het licht gezien. Ik moet dingen gaan doen die ik leuk vind om te doen. Je leeft immers maar 1 keer. Ik heb mij ingeschreven bij SVW´27 om te voetballen in een vrienden team. Omdat mijn eerste sport voetbal was en ik dol ben op voetbal en in het bijzonder Manchester United. En daarnaast vind ik Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ook te gek evenals MMA. Ik ga het op een lager pit gooien en gewoon puur voor de hobby doen gewoon om het leuk is om te doen. En waar ik over 2 jaar sta? Ik hoop weer veel in de Dojo.
Maar ik moest ergens weer beginnen om de draad op te pakken. Toen kwam Nico bij me aankloppen en ook Marja… Razend enthousiast als we zijn hebben we samen besloten om als partners de draad op te pakken. Beide geblesseerd, beide op de comeback.
Dit betekent ook weer Caveman oppakken. En omdat ik wil gaan bijhouden hoe het daarmee gaat verlopen, wil ik regelmatig verhalen gaan bloggen voor mezelf en voor mensen die het leuk vinden om het bij te houden. Ik probeer ook foto’s te plaatsen van before en after.
Maandag 18-7-2011 is mijn start datum. Ik ga vanavond boodschappen doen zodat ik goed kan beginnen!

Pick up the thread:
As many friends already know I was ravaged by injuries at the end of october and in the begin of 2011. In late October after my tournament in Ede, I received an injury to my elbow. This was over after about one month ... I thought, after two weeks training, the injury was back.
It was mid-December. My caveman diet was no more and fell into a depression. Not visible on the outside but inside I was devastated . The Festive month of December was very busy and I ate lots. This was bad for my weight I was back to 110 + KG while i was 98KG. This has not changed in 2011. I had tried to pick it back but to no avail, my motivation was at a low point. And I did not even care anymore. I have disappointed my friends, let them down and not show what was wrong with me. This was wrong i had to tell them because I'm sure they could help.
Few months later I met my idol. Fedor Emelianenko. It was incredible, I felt the power I had in my good days. Unfortunately the reality was different. After all, the doctor said it was not wise to practice MMA.
One night several weeks after Fedor meeting I talked with my girlfriend Marja, the tears flowed from my eyes. My dream to be a good MMA fighter seemed to have disappeared. But through this conversation I think I've seen the light. I have to do things that I like to do.After all, you live only one time. I subscribed to SVW'27 to play football in a friendly team. Since my first sport was soccer and I love football and especially Manchester United. And besides, I like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA also, it's totallyawesome. I'm going to do it just for a hobby just to make it fun. And In about 2 years? I hope to spend a lot of time in the dojo.
But I had to start somewhere. Nico came to me and Marja also.. Enthusiastically as we are, we gonna be partners and decided to pick up the thread.Both injured, both on the comeback.
This also means picking up again Caveman. I will regularly blogging stories for myself and for people who like to keep in touch. I also try to post pictures of before and after.
Monday, 07/18/2011, my start date. I'm going shopping tonight so I can start right tomorrow!
