Ratatouille Pizza

I did get an inspiration for that last ball of dough that I still had in the freezer. Best part is, I had all the ingredients I needed in my fridge!

Found this on Cassey Ho's blog Blogilates (tumblr).  Cassey claims this is "the world's healthiest pizza" - give it a try and let me know what you think!

ooops!

When I switched away from godaddy a while back, PaMSd.com stopped forwarding to this blog or the main site - thankfully a reader eventually let me know, and now we should be back in business!

201!

Finally, the plateau has been uh, well what do you do to a plateau, mowed?
Sunday morning I weighed in at 201 - ten pounds gone, five more to go.
My partner on the other hand, only has one pound to go - I'm getting my ass kicked.
In my defense, she had less to lose...
Now if I can make it through a Mariners game without gaining it all back....

The Dreaded "Plateau"

Ten days later, and I'm still within a pound of where I was.  A pound heavier - ug!  Somehow I avoided the plateau last time I did the pizza and shake thing, but not this time.  Maybe it's having a beer every night.  Maybe it's that hot fudge shake I had when I was rushing to meet a friend at a game, and it was the only practical option.  I don't know, but I do know the plateau can be a discipline buster.  It's hard to not just eat everything you want when you aren't losing any weight anyways.  It helps that I like all the food I'm eating, there are a few things I miss, but overall I eat just as well, just as tasty, as I ate when I could eat anything I wanted.  Hopefully next weeks weigh-in will be more inspiring.

Yes this is still the Pizza and MilkShake Blog - new format, few ads

trying a new, and I think better looking, but perhaps slower loading format.  And while the main site still is completely ad free, as I intend it to always be, since google puts ads on these blogger blogs, I thought I'd join the fun, click to support :)

Six pounds - in the buff.

It's been a week since we started, so I weighed myself this morning.  I was sans clothes, and I was wearing boxers and a long sleeve shirt when I first weighed in, so I had a pound or so advantage.  Anyway - I was 205, so up to six pounds lost.  Not as much as the first time I did the pizza and shake thing, but then I had more pounds to lose.  A good start, I know that weight loss can slow down after the first week, but I feel like I am well on my way... Nine more pounds to go!

Breaking all the rules, and still losing...

Yesterday I went out to breakfast with my parents, and out to dinner with my parents and my partner.  I was pretty good for breakfast, but dinner was another story.  The menu was a challenge for anyone staying away from white flour, and it was a day that required a beer.  And after a beer... well, I just ate too much, and none of it was salad, or a shake, or pizza.  So when I weighed myself this morning I wasn't expecting good results.  Instead of gaining, I lost 3 pounds!  I'm down to 208 - woohoo!  And today I'm back on track, so I am expecting to continue losing!

Killer Carrot and Rooster Pizza - so good!

Came up with a new quick, easy vegetarian pizza last week;

crust - dave's KILLER bread - whole grain and awesome.
sauce
italian cheese blend
carrot 'chips' - for sale in the produce section, or slice your own
dabble some rooster sauce over the top (garlic hot sauce)
bake/broil at about 370 until the cheese starts to brown

Enjoy!
...and let me know what you think!

Day 1

Weighed in today - 211, about 20 pounds over my ideal, and 20 pounds under what I was before I created this plan.  My partner and I are racing to lose 7% of our weight - 15 pounds for me.  She's at work, not sure if she weighed in this morning or not, but it will be around 9 pounds for her.
So far today -
2 eggs and a piece of whole wheat toast for breakfast - with black coffee.
Vanilla Rice Energizer shake (see the shake page) made with apples for lunch
Beanitos chips and black bean salsa for a snack
Need to get a big salad in next...
