Mmmm….Pizza (and Ice Cream!)

So let me tell you about my day.  It began with a lovely bowl of Kashi Heart to Heart Warm Cinnamon Oat cereal with 1% milk:

And some grapes:

Today was a school day for the husband so I made it a gym day for me as well.  I decided to prevent the frustration that I knew a lousy run would eventually bring and just use the elliptical instead.  I did 43 minutes but took it a little easier than usual.  I ended up doing 3.32 miles and burning (according to the machine) 453 calories.

We ran home for lunch, which was some more of the yummy Imagine Organic Light in Sodium Sweet Potato Soup with a little Chobani 0% greek yogurt mixed in for protein:

And on the side I had a lovely piece of Ezekiel Low Sodium toast with Sargento Light Ricotta and honey:

Then it was off to school again and while he was in class I had a (not pictured) Tall Skinny Decaf Cinnamon Dolce Latte from Starbucks and a very short cat nap in the car.  After class I took Bobby to a doctor’s appointment which was surprisingly short!  Love it when that happens.

I was starving when we got home and had a snack of 7 Kashi Heart to Heart Roasted Garlic Whole Grain crackers and a Meijer brand Light String Cheese:

I needed to pick up some things from Walmart for a picnic I am going to tomorrow so I headed there.  I also felt like doing some impulse shopping and had a little bit of cash in my pocket to burn so I picked up some junk food for the husband, some kiwis and plums, a yogurt cup, some chicken breasts and ground turkey, a container of ice cream, and some Jello Mousse Temptations.

After the store I was still feeling a little munchy so I snacked on some totally random things:  2 garlic croutons, half an orange Twizzler and 3/4 of a plum.  Then I ordered dinner.

Earlier I had thought about how we have not ordered a single pizza since we moved to Louisville over 2 months ago and figured it might be time.  The idea came to me when we passed a pizza place very close to our neighborhood on the way home from the doctor’s office.  Originally I had decided it would just be a treat for Bobby and I would stick to the dinner I had already planned.  But later I thought what the heck and decided to have a slice or two for dinner.

So we ended up getting a large pepperoni pizza from Borromeo’s Pizza after reading several reviews saying it was the best pizza in town.  After trying it, I can tell you those reviews are wrong!  It wasn’t bad, but I’ve certainly had better pizza in Owensboro and if this is the best Louisville has to offer, then that would make me kind of sad.

I ended up having one whole slice and a couple of the Bobby’s crusts.  I’m the designated crust eater.  I feel that the crust is a very crucial part of the pizza.  And this crust did not really help the pizza that much.  It was too thick and chewy and lacked any flavor.  It made the pizza very heavy and filling.  The pizza could have used less cheese, less grease, and more sauce.  It wasn’t bad but I’m glad I only had one slice since it was VERY filling and I didn’t LOVE it.

The pizza slice kept me full all night and I could have skipped my usual evening snack(s) but I couldn’t wait to try the ice cream I bought earlier.

It was Edy’s Spumoni Ice Cream

and it was SOOOO GOOD!!  This is officially my favorite flavor of ice cream now (although I didn’t really have a favorite to begin with). Chocolate, cherry and pistachio ice cream together in perfect harmony.   This was my serving size:

I think it was definitely more than 1/2 cup but hopefully less than 1 cup.  My only problem is that now I have the container of this in my freezer beckoning me.  But I shall resist the temptation and make it last as long as I can.

I went to bed last night pretty full and extremely satisfied.
