I didn’t really have a cheat meal this week, but I ate a few things over the week that were  treats. For example:  Tortilla chips at Maria Maria(they were pretty greasy and really salty…mmm yummy goodness 🙂 B, I did only have a few! The Kerbey Lane Pancakes are not the best choice even though I made them at home.  They just do not have much nutritional value.  Again, my serving size was pretty small. I had three glasses of wine Saturday night and although that is not a lot to have, especially if you have not had a drink all week, but for me that is unusual because I normally don’t drink at all.  You will see I do every now and then.  Lastly, I probably could have had less ice cream tonight! It’s all good though, because I am waking up tomorrow with a healthy menu planned and my exercise routine lined up for the week and that is all that matters,  that goes for you or for me.  I want to reiterate my thoughts on splurging.  Splurges happen.  Shit happens, life happens.  Sometimes you will not feel like working out- that’s OK.  Start over the next day.  Every now and then you might have more than one cheat meal in a week.  No worries, start over at your next meal.  The key is moderation and no regrets! Beating yourself up for screwing up does not fix the mistake. Actually, a lot of the times feeling sorry for yourself or mad at yourself starts a spiral of bad decisions.  The best  thing that you can do is start over.   Get up and move on.  What are your thoughts? How do you deal with set backs?  Share your stories here to help others… Love y’all!

I use all different types of low fat cheese,most of the time it is whatever I have in the fridge 🙂     any combination of the following would probably be good: Mozzarella, Feta, Asiago, Parmesan, Colby Jack, Cheddar, blue cheese and so on.

Slather on the tomato sauce, sprinkle on all of the seasonings, top with cheeses and bake in the oven at 350 degrees  for about 10 minutes or so.

You can add all kinds of stuff to your pizza, sometimes I use turkey pepperoni but most of the time I like good ‘ol cheese pizza!
