I have a few foods that regularly compete for the title of "favorite." French Fries are often in the lead...and burgers go so nicely with fries that they are always part of the conversation. A variety of meats are always in the mix too, so steak, bacon, meatballs, etc. If pressed though pizza might well win the argument...but pizza has one major problem. I'm never all that satisfied with a little. If left to my own devices I will almost always order too much if I'm getting it from a pizza place. Even making it at home, I can pretty much guarantee that I'll eat too much. Today I was craving pizza, and was really worried about how to address it. In the end I compromised and got a frozen pizza from the supermarket. It's not nearly as satisfying...but a Newman's Own thin crust cheese pizza doesn't have too many calories (about in line with most of my dinners), and at least I can more easily control the "portion" size. I don't precisely know when I'm going to have a "cheat day," as the fear of water balloons is high, but when I do there's a good chance pizza will be involved.
Food today: egg and cheese sandwich with diet mountain dew for breakfast (247 calories), two burgers (one with cheese) on reduced calorie wheat rolls, with diet mountain dew for lunch (570 calories), a Newman's Own thin crust cheese pizza with more diet mountain dew for dinner (900 calories), snack was some random peanut butter during the day (100 calories).
Exercise today: the nice weather got me out walking with the dog again (12,000 steps) but for the purposes of the diet, I did another hour and 19 miles on the exercise bike (572 calories).
