2 weigh ins for the price of one

Ok now it's time for a weigh in update!!!

As you guys are aware I missed last week due to some family stuff. Amidst all the craziness that was going on I did not get a chance to take photos last week but I did weigh in and I lost.... Drum roll please... One pound. 

With everything going on as well as being on my shark week I wasn't moving as much and not making the best food choices. I was so tempted to be angry with myself but I had to remember and remind myself multiple times that I did not gain weight, I lost weight. That before in a stressful situation I would have ate myself into a food coma or not eat it all and then binged. This tiny 1 lb loss is a victory and so many ways.

This week was a bit better though not by much. I was still dealing with things but we did see a 2lb drop this week. 

All right y'all I'll be back next Monday with another weigh in.. until then may the scale be forever in your favor.

Lavish

*Sorry I missed last week. Had a bit of a family emergency but everyone is ok and I'm back with a super yummy pizza recipe (or two) and I can't wait to share it with you.*

If you're anything like me pizza is life. Carbs are life. And we have been told time and time again to stay away. Well no more I say.. no more. 

It's time to make pizza completely customizable while being calorically responsible. 

These are my personal favorites. Pepperoni jalapeno and pineapple as well as barbecue chicken jalapeno and pineapple. But there are so many options we've now tried mexican pizzas and Greek pizzas. The options are endless. The secret though is your crust and no it's not cauliflower. It's lavish bread. 

Pepperoni Jalapeno Pineapple Pizza

260 calories for the whole plate 🍽️

-Ingredients-

*1 Lavish bread - 90 cal (I prefer Joseph's which is readily available at Walmart but any low calorie flatbread will work just fine)

*12 Turkey pepperoni - 40 cal

*1oz Shredded mozzarella - 80 cal

*1/4 cup Pineapple tidbits - 10 cal

*12 pieces of sliced jared Jalapenos - 5 cal

*Dealer's choice amount of Garlic powder - 0 cal

*1/4 cup Pizza sauce - 35 cal (I use chef boyardee pizza sauce in the can. I know what you're thinking but it's surprisingly delicious and does not taste like their ravioli. It's low calorie low sugar and very few ingredients. Best part is 1 can is enough for my whole family and then some.)

1. Preheat your oven to 375 take out your lavish breads and go ahead and put them on the baking tray, Pizza Pan or whatever you're working with. 

2. Once your oven is preheated go ahead and slide in your lavish bread. But stay close maybe even set a timer for like 2 mins. (These are thin and they will burn fast if you don't watch them.) After the 2 minutes if they're looking Brown flip it and go another two more. After it's reached desired doneness pull it out and let it cool while you get all your pizza ingredients together. 

3. Now that you have your toppings go back to your crust and begin assembling. Start with the garlic powder sprinkle it across the top especially around the edges. Gives it a nice little garlic crust touch. I've also used ranch seasoning which is pretty good as well. Then continue with the rest of your ingredients and whatever order you'd like.

4. Once you've got it all assembled put it back in the oven and set your timer for 5 minutes. Once the cheese is melted it's ready to go.

*If you're interested in the barbecue chicken pizza all you have to do is swap grilled chicken for turkey pepperoni and low calorie barbecue sauce for the pizza sauce. It is a few extra calories but still well under 400.*

Simple easy yummy and has become a house staple in this home. A Little pizza and salad goes a long way with my family. 

Also don't let these little guys fool you they are super filling and that comes from somebody who has eaten an entire Domino's Pizza on their own and asked or more.
