Toasted Tomato and Cottage Cheese Sammich
I weighed in tonight at 226.6 lbs. Wow.
A week and I’ve already dropped some weight. I don’t think I’ve done much other than try to make some better decisions when eating. L and I are trying to cook only vegetarian dishes at home and we’ve been pretty successful. When we do need protein we are sticking to eggs and fish. We’re not cutting out meat, chicken or pork completely though. We save those for when we eat out at restaurants which we try to keep down to a minimum anyway.
One big change I have made this past month is what I eat after my weekday Arnis classes. Instead of a regular meal I’ve been eating cottage cheese melted on toast with tomatoes. Very tasty with a little salt and pepper for seasoning. I know what you’re thinking but it tastes pretty good and is surprisingly satisfying. I used to think that I needed a big meal after practice but I find just this, some fruit and a good couple glasses of water are all I need.
While it’s great that these little diet changes have dropped my weight I’ll still need to start increasing my activity levels. That’s the next step in the plan, fitting in at least another session or two of exercise sometime during my week. Maybe some Hip Hop Abs or perhaps a session of Turbo Jam … we’ll see.
