So I was at 145 lbs while eating comfortably and training every now and then (I was busy with school for the time being), but I have until the end of September to put all of my time in training and taking care of injuries and whatnot. Coach wants me to be under 135 lbs by then.

I've been changing my diet so that I eat smaller portions throughout the day. I usually eat some fruits and maybe a whole wheat toast for breakfast. Then a few hours later, I might have a couple fruits again. For lunch, I usually have a salad with red leaf lettuce, broccoli, cucumbers, celery, grilled chicken (or honey ham or salmon flakes), with a dabble of dressing of some sort. As the day goes on, I have some more fruits (whatever I bought or is in the fridge. Bananas, apples, peaches, oranges, the simple fruits that require no cutting). For dinner, I usually have brown rice and put curry sauce on it, or perhaps use the brown rice and make fried rice out of it.

So that's what my diet is like in a nutshell...

As for training...
*Boxing gym days*
9-10AM 30 minute jog in the morning
10AM~ Stretch/roll out legs to prevent shin splints
7PM Head to boxing gym
7:15-9PM Warm up, ropes, shadowbox, spar, bags, the typical boxing gym stuff
9-12AM Possibly icing down shins or wrists
12AM-1AM Zzz

*When I don't go to the boxing gym*
9-10AM 30 minute jog in the morning
10AM~ Stretch/roll out legs to prevent shin splints
whenever~ Bike over to a track and do half mile sprints. My goal is to do 5 sets under 3 minutes each. Right now I'm slightly out of shape and getting 3 sets in.

So that's what my boxing conditioning plan is like. I never knew how hard it would be to lose so much weight.

Thoughts/comments/feedback would be appreciated. :D

I do sets of push ups after my runs. So far I'm at 3 sets of 20, but I can do more than that. I just need to build back up to it again. Crunches are something I do in the gym, but I should start doing them at home as well...

and find out how much water weight you are carrying around. you'd be surprised how much you carry around on a daily basis.
My weight fluctuates from 141 lbs to 143.5 lbs throughout the day. My guess is about 1 to 1.5 lbs of water mass.

Have you guys ever heard of Paleolithic diet? I've been recommended it by a friend of mine who does crossfit training, and he guarantees great results. I'm just wondering if anyone else can vouch for its effectiveness or have ever heard of it.

The water mass in your body is related directly with your body size...

If you lose a couple of pounds of fat you'll be losing water too. Remember, losing water during a sauna section is barely relevant since that water you lost is supposed to be replaced.

You need to make sure you have a proper diet and training.

Eating carbs, such as rice at night, depending on how your methabolism works will not help you cutting weight. Carbs are used mostly for instant energy intake, so when you eat rice and go to bed your body will "store" that energy you didnt spend as fat.

At night, specially if you're on a diet I reccomend you eat lean protein (fish, chicken) and salad/vegetables.
