Today I have decided that I LOVE walking. Not always at first. I have to really force myself out the door, and for the first good mile all I can think about is turning around and just going back home... but once I really get going, I LOVE it. It makes me feel great, and it's great for me. I took a different route today and walked down Eagle and got to take in the sun sparkling on the water, LOVE it. I drove and measured out a new route for tomorrow, 4 miles! I did 3.4 today! In case any of you missed my extra post earlier today, I stepped on the scale this morning and for the first time in over 4 years saw a number UNDER 200! 199.0! I'm quite excited! We'll have our 'official' weigh in tomorrow morning :) I had decided Sundays would be my 'rest' day, but if it is as nice tomorrow as it was today, I might have to go for a walk just for the FUN of it, at least to the park with Kye! If I walked 4 miles, 6 days a week, by the end of this year I will have walked more than 1,000 miles! That's insane! Looking forward to tomorrow and not stressing much over what I eat, though we'll probably just have a big breakfast and then I'll be good the rest of the day. Good night for now, I'll be back in the morning with my officially weekly weight loss post, hoping it doesn't fluctuate upwards from today's 199!

Pizza- I bought a store-bought thin pizza crust (before dieting), 1 cup of canned pizza sauce, 1 7oz package low sodium mozarella, 5oz of cooked, cubed chicken I had already made and frozen, mixed with a little cavendar's seasoning, and 4 cups of fresh spinach that I put in a steamer basket (it cooks WAYYY down) before I put it on the pizza. Layer everything up and it makes 8 slices, at 219 calories a slice :) Next time I'll cut it back even more, with skim mozarella, and a better crust, maybe whole wheat?!
Try using english muffins as your pizza crusts, your kids can have fun making their own "pizza" and you will have bigger portions for less calories. A whole muffin makes 2 "pizzas" and they are very filling specially when you put delicious toppings on!
