I’s been over a year since Christina, Mara, Michelle and I got together! What do you think of a 2010 Summer meet up at a Schaumburg Flyers game? I am not sure how many Chicago area readers there are, but I thought it could be fun! Just leave a comment if you have any interest – I’ve always wanted to go to a Flyers game but never have!
My breakfast pizza was pretty good – not sure I like how thin the mission low carb tortilla was, but it was 11 grams of fiber! 😀 Breakfast comes in at 385 calories, 43 carbs, 22 protein, 15.4 fat and14.7 fiber.
With more cantaloupe on the side:
I had a great workout – did a 3 mile bike ride on the Alpine setting – holy shit those hills were steep! At some points I was standing to get up the 30% incline! Then I did a jog/sprint on the treadmill for 25 minutes, my highest sprint was 6.5 which I held for 1 minute! 😀
On the way back to my office I saw this thing: a sun oven!
Have you ever seen one of these before? It looked like it had a pot of baked beans in it – love how I am in the reflection in this picture! It had a temperature gauge and it was at 200 degrees.
I had a hugh jass salad for lunch – about 5 cups of greens, 2 ounces leftover steak, 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese, carrots, radish, apple and Newman’s own light balsamic – this took forever to eat but I ate every bite!

But around 4:00 I was starving! I had a tablespoon of no sugar added peanut butter and that held me til dinner 😀
My freezer dictated what I was going to fix for supper. I thawed some Italian sausage, so simple pasta was on the menu!
The fresh picked and chopped basil made this dish – so flavorful! Dinner comes in at: 516 calories, 79 carbs, 16.6 protein, 16.1 fat and 11.6 fiber.
Sadly, I ate a serving of flaming hot cheetos before going to bed – those things are like crack to me!!
So with my peanut butter and cheetos, snacks some in at 358 calories, 34 carbs, 7.1 protein, 21 fat and 2.2 fiber.
Stats for Thursday:
- 1,761 calories, 187 carbs, 85 protein, 79 fat and 39 fiber.
- 16 minute 3 mile Alpine hill bike ride
- 25 minute jog/sprint
Dave, one of our 101 days of summer challengers wanted to know the best way to send me your weekly update. Whatever works for you was my answer! Some people just send me an email at bdl319@gmail.com and say “check out my latest blog post” and I’ll just cut and paste it – whatever works for you . . . just don’t forget to send me your week 3 update before Sunday!
Happy Friday!! Maybe Tony will be up for Party Pizza Friday? 😀
I’m up for the blogger meet-up if I’m in town.
The sausage looks cool all coiled on the grill like that! And I’ve never seen a sun oven! Weird! Although I can definitely understand how it could get up to 200° today! I went to get the mail and thought “it feels like I’m trying to breath in hot jello” the air is just so humid and hot and sticky!!! Ack disgusting!
would love a get together… any chance of moving it to St Thomas???
I wish I lived in Chicago. I would totally go 🙂
Thanks for the comment on my blog. I found yours the other day and love your posts. If you send me your email address – I will invite you to my “real” blog which is updated regularly and is more focused on health, fitness or my lack thereof…
so love your breakfast pizza….something about an egg on pizza and i start drooling!
Wait? You’re from the Chicago area? Me too! I live in the Southwest Subs!!!
Btw, I came across your blog by way of Marisa at Loser for Life!!
i wish i lived closer too!!!!! that would be SOOOO fun! maybe you guys should take a field trip to Boston? but seriously, if you EVER take a vacation in New England, i’ll be there!!!
i love the spoon of peanut butter- its such a good trick. i remember always going and grabbing a tablespoon of peanut butter whenever my energy was low and my blood sugar was heading south- such a great tip.
urgh i wish i lived near chicago to be able to do a meetup. thats such a great idea!
xoxo
Man, I wish I could come to the meet up…but wait – don’t you NEED to visit your brother in Texas soon? Austin isn’t very far from me – just a thought! 😉
That sun oven is awesome and would work great here! Kinda expensive (yes I had to google it, lol), but tres cool.
How is Hannah doing?
The breakfast pizza looks SOOOOO good! I am usually lazy and just roll my stuff up in a tortilla but it looks so much better this way!!
I wish I lived closer and could come to the meet up! How fun!
I am addicted to flaming hot cheetos too. I can’t buy them anymore cause I’ll finish the entire thing.
I would be up for a blogger meet up!!
Your sausage on your pasta looks so frickin good!
Oh! I wish I lived close- I would love a blogger meet up! 🙁
YUM to EVERYTHING! I always love your EATS! 🙂
Happy Friday! 🙂
What is on the breakfast pizza?
Hi Joy!
1 mission low carb tortilla (80 calories, 11 grams of fiber!), 1/4 cup pizza sauce, baby spinach mix, 1 ounce provolone cheese and 1 egg on top. Bake at 400 for 10 to 15 minutes, until the egg is done to your liking – I like my yolk pretty firm so I would say I baked mine for 15 minutes. 😀
Cheetos are crack to me, too!!!
Breakfast pizza looks soooo good!
Never saw a sun oven before. Cool!
Oh, fun! I’d definitely be up for meeting in Chicago!
That sun oven is definitely cool! I’ve never seen one!!!
Your salad looks great…and that pasta is making me crave some right now! I have pasta weakness! Good luck with the pizza for dinner!
Good luck getting Tony to agree to pizza!
I have never seen a sun oven before… They look pretty cool!
You know I’d be willing to come down for a meet up!
I wish Chicago was closer to Boston ’cause I’d love to get together for a blogger meet up. I’ll definitely be there in spirit.
I already e-mailed you my challenge update for this week. You can check it out at http://finallyfiguringitout.blogspot.com/2010/06/combined-challenges.html

Dinner looks so good!
