The joys of pizza

Pizza is definitely one of those foods that I have to watch myself on.  I don't eat half a pizza or anything like that, but I do tend to go for a third piece instead of just two.  It's worse if we get anything with the pizza, like hot wings or bread sticks. 

That is one of those things that I do that I need to stop myself from doing.  Especially on buffets.  I will get one or two of something I only sort of like, sometimes just because it is there.  Like bread sticks.  I am not a super fan of bread sticks.  They aren't one of my favorite foods.  They are just there.  Granted, when they have cheese on them, I like them much more, but still, if given my choice between a piece of pizza or a cheesy bread stick, I would prefer the pizza...and yet I will often get both.

There is a Mexican restaurant near us that does two buffets:  a lunch one and a taco (dinner) one.  They have some great stuff on their buffet.  I always end up eating way more than I should when I go there.  And some of it makes no sense.  Like I will get some tacos, and then get a plate to eat with their chips as nachos.  And I will put both beans and rice on my nacho plate.  I don't have anything against beans or rice, but I never get a craving for Spanish rice or re-fried beans.  When we make nachos at home, I never make beans or rice to go on them.  I am perfectly happy with cheese, sometimes meat, sour cream, and veggies.  And if I sit any length of time, I will eat chips and salsa...constantly...until I am so stuffed it hurts.  Not the brightest decision, but when it is there in front of me, I definitely have a compulsion to nibble...and nibble...and nibble.

I kind of like this cardio workout I did again this morning.  It's only ten minutes, but it definitely gets you moving, and it isn't so horribly complex or strenuous that I can't do the moves.  I could definitely feel an improvement since the last time I did it last week.  I am not sure if I am perhaps starting to not be as horribly out of shape, or if I just was more used to the moves and so they came easier, so I wasn't getting all messed up trying to string them together.  I keep mixing up my stretching and strengthening exercises.  I think I will keep building up a bank of exercises I like for different parts of the body, that way I can do different ones and won't get bored.
