DAY 21

I can't believe it's officially been 3 weeks since I began this blog; time really flies! 

I wanted to kick off this post with a recipe for low carb/low sugar pizza.  I made it last night and it turned out pretty good; I thought you might enjoy it too.

You will need:

Shredded Mozarella cheese (I like the low moisture skim kind)
2 Smart Carb pieces of bread (I like the rectangular roll up kind)
HT Traders Basil Tomato sauce (or any other lower sugar sauce; this one has 4 grams of sugar for 1/2 cup which is pretty decent and it has a really great flavor to it.)
Low sugar toppings
(I made mine with mushrooms, vegetarian pepperoni--surprisingly good, and sliced roma tomatoes)

simple directions:

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Spread 1/4 cup sauce on each piece of flat bread (if you choose no sugar toppings, it's nice to know that even if you eat a whole pizza, you'll only be eating 3 grams of sugar--2 from the sauce and 1 from the bread) and sprinkle with cheese.  I personally like to add my toppings and then cover with another layer of cheese).   Bake for 11-12 minutes.  For firmer crust bake 12-14 minutes.

Now onto my reports for day 21.

Exercise:

I went to Kevin's FIT class and it was great.  We did a series of exercise that were very challenging including the Spider Man crawl, Frog Jump with push up, Bear Crawl, Cowbell Swings, and Inchworm crawl.  My shoulders are pretty sore today but it was a very exhausting workout.

Eating:

1 egg
1 peach (the most sugary thing I ate all day)
1 morning star sausage
cheese
broccoli with cheese
granola bar
pizza (I ate one entire rectangle and then gave the other to my daughter)

Tip for success:

Try to break up your exercise routine so that your body doesn't get used to the same workout; there are many people who get frustrated because they walk for exercise but don't see results from it.  If that's the case with you, try doing a totally different type of exercise like cycling.  Read more in this great article below by the Fitness Guy:
