Low calorie Pizza Quest

Tuesday, August 31st 2010

Recently I had been craving pizza because I've virtually been 'real pizza free' for nearly 6 months straight. But I'm not ready to delve into Papa John's or Pizza Hut just yet. So I started doing some looking around for the lowest calorie pizza I could come up. Nothing was panning out until I tried using a pita loaf for the crust and was pleasantly surprised with the results of my experiment; which I will now share with all of you.

The pizza described is 227 total calories, Fat 0.7g, Satur...

Okay, so my first seven days by myself at the gym is complete, and I'm feeling good about this so far. I still find myself not wanting to go but then I'll think about all of the benefits I'll reap and before I know it I'm in my work out clothes walking out the door. I've been progressing little by little each day while there, and just trying different things to see what works best for my burn.

If only I had started doing something about this weight back when I was 17 years old. I've missed out on so much I wanted to do because of being too fat, including becoming a shut-in.

So here it is, today is the day a whole new chapter in my life begins. It wasn't an easy task coming to this point and it certainly came a lot sooner than I had wanted or expected, but nevertheless it's here, it's happened, and I have to own it NOW!

This morning after work Brock, a co-worker (police officer/swat team member) was out behind the department parking lot at our exercise track along with other members of SWAT working out, doing chin-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, and jogging around the ...

I'm in jail but get out in eight hours. . .

Monday, August 9th 2010

"As I ate the pizza with it's strong taste of the tomato sauce and it's faint taste of herb that the cold soda washed away, leaving only the taste of grease and the succulent texture of the cheese, and as I ate the bread from each slice and washed it down with the crisp taste of the soda, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and make plans."

I was thinking about Ernest Hemingway how he never forgets to describe exactly how things taste. I like that, and so I wondered w...
