What is it about pizza..

I know that pizza is the killer for many of us. I literally think about pizza all the time. I love it. I love going out for pizza. I love sharing a pie with my family. Today I had this moment where I thought, "What is it about pizza that makes me want to eat it all the time?" Then, even though I was alone in house, I laughed out loud thinking - it just tastes good - the pizza doesn't make me want to eat it....

So, we went out, I ordered a big salad, barely had any dressing, and ate 3 pieces of a 16 inch bbq chicken pizza. I'm not feeling stuffed, I stopped when I was full, and feel pretty good about it- I also gave a bunch of the cheese to my hubby. When it was over, I literally had the feeling of - I kind of wished I would have ordered my original plan - a salad and baked potato - I didn't feel this big sense of gratification ---- could that be a stepping stone in this journey???

On another note, I weighed in today and lost 3 pounds. Goal number one, get back to my 10% is officially achieved. YAY! It felt so good this morning. I have felt really good about my eating the past couple of days, had two really hard sessions with my trainer last week, and I'm just in a good place. This week's workouts haven't been so hot, but I'm not feeling overly worried about it.

So, other than the sleep strike that is still going on at our house, things seem to be going well today. I'm actually feeling up, which I felt a little bit on a hiatus from over the weekend. Weekends are really hard for me. I'm off my routine and that throws me all off. I have to learn to work with that both emotionally and physically. That'll make this weight loss thing that much easier - and permanent!!!

Cheers everyone!
