Pizza, pizza!

Oh my GOD! I love Joseph’s pita bread! I made pizza out of one for dinner and I swear, it was almost up to the standards of real Italian pizzeria-style pizza. YUM, YUM, YUM!! First I preheated the oven to 450F; dampened the pita bread with water to keep it from drying out too much in the oven; topped it with: 2 TBSP (32g) Hunt’s no salt added tomato PASTE, 1oz part-skim mozzarella cheese, 1 slice South Beach reduced fat mozzarella cheese (.75 oz), and sprinkled the top with dry oregano, garlic powder, and a little bit of water (reduced fat cheese tends to dry out quickly). I placed it on a baking sheet that was lined with nonstick foil and popped into the very hot oven for about 7 minutes. It came out PERFECT! Maybe it could have gone 1 more minute for extra crispy, but I loved it as is:

The pita pizza itself was only 230 calories and the entire meal with broccoli and salad was only 350 calories! For only 230 calories, I could work 2 of them into my higher calorie days. Of course tomorrow I’m going to have to go buyout every package of Joseph’s pita bread Walmart has LOL.

I didn’t exercise today; it feels good to take a break. I tried the Bowflex dumbbells last night and they are awesome! My arms should be all set for awhile; now I just need the full size Bowflex and I’m all set. I’d also like to add a stair stepper, treadmill, and stationary bike to my home gym — I like variety.

I can’t wait to get back on my normal calorie cycling menus — I’ve been soooooo hungry the past few days on only 1200 and 1500 calories. I was ravenous last night, I’m glad I still had my lunch left to eat from my menu or I would have been so cranky. I find it hard to sleep on an empty tummy.

It’s definitely time that I buy some new clothes, my pants are getting to be a hazard! I took out jeans that used to be too small for me to wear and now they’re too big! I’m literally stepping on my pants now lol. Ugh… well, I guess I have a good excuse to go on a shopping spree.

Today’s menu:
Friday December 28th 2007 – 1500 calorie day
