Pizza
Sorry I haven't written... work is very, very busy right now.
Yesterday I had another of those pizza meetings. Yes, locked in a small row house office with six pizzas from 3 pm to 6 pm. I had a nightmare the night before in which I had eaten three slices of pizza. When I woke up safely next to the Orange One, relieved that it was all a dream, I resolved not to let the pizza monster push me over my calorie target for the day with its empty calories and saturated fat. I threw a fat free fruit yogurt in my bag just to have something to eat in case I got very hungry in the afternoon, so as to minimize the chances of being starving in the presence of pizza. My normal eggwhite and Carolina Treet breakfast plus my salad (kale, mustard greens, tomatoes, green pepper, arugula, romaine, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and salsa) plus cup of cottage cheese all adds up to less than 500 calories total, so I can either have an afternoon snack or a large dinner.
I made it through the entire afternoon without taking a single bite. The day was very stressful... crisis after crisis. But not one bite. I didn't even eat the yogurt. Waited till I got home for my brewers yeast and vegetable soup. I had so many calories left that I ate two slices of fat free cheese, for a total of 60 calories and 60% of the RDA of calcium. I also ate 100 grams of cute little organic yellow tomatoes from Whole Foods. Made my favorite new cocktail as a dessert: Canada Dry Diet Cranberry Ginger Ale with an ounce of port. Very sweet and delicious. I also ate two of the blueberry sugar free hard candy that MR's mom sent us in a care package. Thanks, MOMR!
Here's the weird thing: when I left my meeting and walked to my car, there was only one other car on the roof of the parking garage. Its license plate said: PIZZA.

Maybe on those dreaded pizza meeting days, you could ask MR to prepare his famous & delicious CR Pizzas for dinner. Or, keep one in the freezer & take it with you for lunch on that day. The curious might even request the recipe! JD
