Still Shrinking!

Well the new changes to my diet and the new training regiment seem to be doing the trick. As of last night I was 156.5 pounds. I want to be 155 lbs by Saturday and hope to make my new BJJ fighting weight by the following Saturday. The weight class is pena which is 154 lbs with the Gi on. So I need to be about 151 in my boxers.
The new diet is a little extreme so its not what I will be doing long term but I am going to try to keep it up for at least a couple weeks. It consist mostly of Tuna out of a can and fresh watermelon. This may or may not seem that bad but when you do it all day every day it is horrible! I am eating a little carbs in the morning (Wheat Toast), a reasonable dinner (Salad and maybe some chicken or a couple eggs and some fruit) and maybe a granola bar or rice cake for a snack but it is still horrible.
I am still running and doing Jiu-Jitsu classes everyday but since my shoulder is getting a little better I decided to add some circuits this week. The circuits are still a lot of cardio but I am also doing some upper body exercises (things like pull-ups, rows & kettle bell swings).
I had to work a little late today but I am heading over to the school now. I wont be able to running tonight until after my first class since I'm running so late. I am going to try to run 3 miles then do Kate (circuit consisting of sprinting and squats) but I'm also going to add rows and presses. Should be fun!
This weekend I will be meeting with a real fitness trainer that trains professional MMA and Jiu-Jitsu fighters. Hopefully he will give me a better routine then what I have been trying figuring it out on my own. Its a lot easier to just pay someone that does it for a living then spend all day on the net trying to figure out what is best, not only to loose weight but to be at a peak fitness for fighting!
