Pimp My Pizza

Hi blog buds!

Ahhh midweek.  I’m finding that Wednesdays are meant for short blog posts (or unfortunately NO post!)   Wednesdays are turning into my crazy day of the week.   Speaking of CRAZY, any Colorado readers out there who are also bloggers?  Did you see your notice from Amazon that they are yanking the Amazon Affiliates program out of Colorado thanks to the new tax law?  I’m so bummed about this because being an Amazon Affiliate was a MAJOR factor in my choosing to take FitFeat self-hosted back in October.

I told MSP this is just one more reason I’ll be adding to my list of “Why Shari Wants to Move to Arizona”… ;)

Well we might as well keep the Flavor Flav flow going (from yesterday’s post) so I’ll show you how I PIMPED MY PIZZA this weekend.

I don’t like to order “regular” pizza very often.  By “regular” I mean a typical delivery place that only has the overly refined white flour crust that you figure is probably full of fake oils, etc.  But sometimes  you just crave BAD pizza (or rather, your hubster does)…

So here’s how I compromised.  My half has just tomato sauce, sliced roma tomatoes and green pepper (no cheese) when it arrives at our door:

Then I pimped it FitFeat style!  By adding nutritional yeast, sliced kalamata olives and leftover roasted veggies (eggplant, mushroom, red & yellow peppers, zucchini):

MSP said “That’s not a pizza anymore, that’s a salad.”   :D

Today’s workout was an hour of PHYSIQUE 57 — all that progress I’d made with this DVD when I was using it 3 times a week is long gone.  It felt harder than I remembered!

Thank you Rihanna for helping make my current workouts more fun.  Her new song “Rude Boy” is my favorite workout tune this week!

Something else to check out when you have some extra blog reading time:  I happened upon a new blog this week and think that the author’s weight loss story is fantastic!  As a personal trainer (and someone who was heavier in the past) I love hearing about people who took it upon themselves to turn their lives (and their health) around!  Click HERE to see his before and after pics.  His blog is a ton of fun too!

Speaking of before and after pics, I ran across some old pictures of me from 2000 just before I embarked on my fitness mission … I’ll have to get them scanned in so I can share them with you.  The thing that shocks me the most is my FACE!  It looks COMPLETELY different!

OK, kiddos – time for some “Modern Family” laughing (aka ab work!) and then off to bed!

Have a WONDERFUL Wednesday evening!  See you next time!
