I'm a big fan of pizza. I love it sans meat, with pineapple, mushrooms, and, if I'm in the mood, black olives or green pepper. Yes, this makes sharing pizza a nightmare. What I don't love about pizza is the nutritional info. (Also onions.)
I was cruisin the aisles of the Co-op last Thursday and at the end of the frozen foods section was a sign that said "NEW". It was McCain's thin crust Roasted Mushroom and Garlic pizza. Drool. Give me garlic on a cardboard box and I'd probably eat it. I avoided eye contact with the price tag and threw it in the cart before rushing off to find milk for Roger D.
Last night I made the pizza. It's freaking awesome! Half the pizza is 8 points. Don't mind if I do!
In exercise news, I've been doing the Couch to 5K, to build up my running ability to train for a 10K in May. Each week the ratio of jogging:walking changes, obviously adding longer periods of jogging and shorter periods of walking.
Last May I did a 5K fun run with a friend. It took me about 45 mins (still a smoker at this point). Yesterday I did 5K in 37:23! I pretty much hate running because it's hard, and I don't like things I'm not good at. What I do like is seeing myself improve. Last week jogging for three minutes at a time was tough and then I got to walk for 3 minutes. Last night I jogged for 5 minutes, and only walked for 2.5 after. It's awesome to see my pace come down and know that I'm still a beginner.
I am weary of one thing. All of my training so far has been done on the treadmill. I'm worried that when I get outside it will change drastically. Starting tomorrow until Tuesday it's supposed to be 0 and above, so the plan is to take to the streets. (I like being outside better because my Garmin > the treadmill calorie counter.) Plus, we have 15 - 12' baseboards in the middle of the living room with no place for a treadmill. But don't get me started on that.
