Planning Ahead

Last night I made a SUPER yummy pizza for me and my boyfriend. Trader Joe's whole wheat pizza dough, red sauce, light mozzarella cheese, onion, mushroom, spinach and canadian bacon. I was really surprised with how well it turned out! It came out to 190 calories per slice, which isn't too bad. It also wasn't greasy at all like pizzas are from take out, it was clean yummy goodness. (Now looking at the photo, I feel that I could have used even less cheese. I still have left over toppings and all I need to do is buy more dough, looks like we might be having pizza again this coming week!)

After dinner we dyed some eggs. They came out great. I was very pleased with them. And since I did a dozen with my roommate the night before I left them at his house (by the way, they are yours to keep and eat. But only the whites! haha). We then started to talk about what we might do tomorrow, see a movie, go to dinner or make dinner... We decided to go see American Reunion, which I'm very excited about seeing. Also, my boyfriend has been craving frozen yogurt for the past week, and so we decided to make a trip to Pink Berry tonight. I put a mini coconut froyo in my phone for tomorrows "snack". And then the debate about what to do for dinner. I had already planned out my breakfast and lunch (and dessert), and was waiting to see what we decided to do for dinner. My boyfriend thought I was silly for planning ahead that far. But I don't have that many calories to "play" with so every meal counts. We landed on shrimp tacos for dinner,and with this I hit my calorie goal on the dot.

He had to work a half day this morning, so I decided to catch a BodyPump class at 10am. When I got there I set up my weights and waited for the instructor. Fifteen minutes later a 24hour employee comes in and says the instructor isn't showing up. One woman suggests we just do the class on our own, which I was all for. But some people packed up and left. I thought to myself, you set aside time for the gym and a workout, why would you leave? At one time in my life I would have been one of those people to leave, but instead today I did sit ups while waiting. A few minutes later the same employee came back in and said that a trainer and spin instructor volunteered to cover the class (although he had never seen or taught a BodyPump class). He came in and we kind of guided him on what we do, and he added some of his own weightlifting moves. Since it's not what I normally do when I lift weights (added reps, and different moves) I expect to be sore :) I did about ten minutes of the stairclimber and elliptical and headed home for a healthy lunch. I'm looking forward to our healthy dinner tonight, and to see what the scale holds for me on Monday! *Side note/thinking out loud: I need to remeasure my body to have other ways to gauge my progress.*
