Pizza Friday...

After it was removed from the oven.

The final product. 

The average slice of pizza has over 250 calories and 10g of fat. On an average a slice of pizza using califlower pizza crust is between 52-84 calories and 0-4.3 grams of fat depending upon the cheese used. I would say it is well worth the try. 

Well, my favorite food is pizza. It is always my weakness when I am making this lifestyle change. I love pizza!! I cook everyday of the week, but never on Friday. In my house I declared Friday... Pizza Friday. We decide as a family where we are going to order from and after my POKER Tournament I pick up the pizza for the family. My favorites are Donatos and Cardo's, but my all time favorite is Padova's. If you have not already had it you should try it. This leads me to where I am now. I had to find a way to eat pizza without all the calories and fat. I finally found a way after searching the web. My answer was CAULIFLOWER CRUST PIZZA. You heard me... This way you can enjoy your favorite food guilt free. During the beginning of my process I will not have cheat days so I just made my cheat a little bit of fresh grated mozzarella cheese on my pizza. Below will be the link where you can find the recipe. In addition I will add my recipe for "homemade pizza sauce" and of course you just add what toppings you like. I actually did not make "pizza sauce" I just used my homemade pasta sauce, which was really good and also provides an extra helping of veggies. On top of my pizza I had mushrooms, spinach, and roma tomatos and it was to DIE FOR! Once you have perfected the pizza crust add in whatever ingredients you like; make it your own. THIS PIZZA WAS SOOOOO DELICIOUS. I will definitely be making it every Friday with different toppings. 

The pictures don't do enough justice. I definitely have to get a better camera. I love my iPhone, but this camera.. BLAH. LOL 

I hope you enjoy. #GSODT

Throwback Thursday...

Today is Thursday and this picture will soon be a "Throwback Thursday" picture of me. I am currently 207.0 pounds and I'm only 5'2". It is very hard to believe that I let myself get this way from 143.0 pounds. I am saying good bye to this girl and this picture will be a "Throwback Thursday" and I will be ready for a "Transformation Tuesday." 

Happy Health!!! 

This is Only the Beginning...

Hey, my name is Shannon to the social networking world it is SDittle. I am just your average chick that is tired of going down the path of losing weight. I have started this journey several times after gaining weight in 2009. In 2010, I lost 56 pounds and slowly, but surely I gained it back in 2011-2012. I just completely fell off the wagon. I refuse to go through this process again. So, I am writing this Blog to help myself and others stay on the track of losing weight. 

When I say "Get Skinny or Die Trying" it really just means get healthy and fit by any means necessary. I am not a nutritionist, a personal trainer, or anything of that nature. I just know what works for me and it may work for you as well. So, join me in my journey in #GSODT. Feel free to email me or comment if you would like recipes or questions about what to eat. I am not a professional I can just share with you what I have learned on my many journeys. 

Happy Health!!!
