New dish

I call it Mike's Tuna surprise. The surprise part is you cant tell that there's tuna.

Ingredients:
1 small can of tuna, squeeze out the water.
1 egg.
1 slice reduced fat swiss cheese.
onion (red is preferred)
pepper
olive oil.

I used to just heat up the tuna w/ pepper in some olive oil and eat that with rice. If I wanted to go fancy I'd add some mayo. This version is healthy and you get way more vitamins. Tuna itself is already 20g protein, add the egg and cheese and you're good to go.

Simple dish, cook some onion with the oil, then add tuna w/ pepper. After it gets a little brown, add the egg, scrambled first. Once the egg's cooked and mixed in, add some cheese. Cook till desired and there you go. Serve with rice, brown rice obviously.

Back to being fit

A couple of weeks ago I weighed myself in and was pretty sad to find that I've gained roughly 15 1bs from the past year after I had first lost all that weight. Of course, it didn't really look it since Ive still been hitting the gym 3x a week and dancing on the weekend, but still, not a good sight to see.

Sooo, being summer coming up I decided to go back to my original diet - eat 5x a day, no junk except for 1 day and eat tons of veggies, whole grains, almonds and fruit. Started running again on my off days and yes, I started to see results again. But just not as fast as before.

So this week I had extreme goals that worked w/ each other.
1- I need to get extremely good at dancing, to the point where its undeniable that I should be advancing forward in battles.
2 - Lose weight faster than 1 1b a week.

So what did I do? Danced more. I dance every single day now but not just drilling some moves, I'm working on everything to the point of exhaustion and I see sweat dripping down my face. Otherwise there's no point, I'm not working hard enough and the results show: This week alone I've lost about 4 lbs already and its only thursday. Conclusion, no more stupid running, just dance hard.
