Will I eat the pizza or not????

Started the day off with my usual strawberry/blueberry protein fruit smoothie and snuck in a very little nibble of peanut butter and apple as I was making my daughter's peanut butter and apple sandwich for her school lunch.   Have to be careful with serving sizes of PB, that's for sure!  Had a great Body Blast and Afterburn class this morning and then had some almonds on the way home.  As I'm making my lunchtime protein shake (can you tell I really love these shakes?), I'm also nibbling on that Bar Harbor Blend mix that I love and have successfully managed to seek out and destroy (inhale) the chocolate covered almonds!  Gone....
Today's big hurdle to get over is that I have a pizza party at Vlad's school at 2:30 this afternoon, so I'm already planning my defense.  I WILL NOT eat a piece of pizza!  Did you just read what I wrote?  My plan is to go over and get a small skinny latte from Deja Brew before I go.  That will be my lesser evil indulgence and I can even justify the calcium and antioxidant benefits from the latte.  That's my plan....we'll see if I stick to it! 
Jessica,  I am impressed that you have a kitchen scale and have considered one for sometime now.  Hmmm, maybe I'll give it more thought now that I know someone who actually is using one.  For pizza tonight,  consider a veggie pizza and perhaps you could avoid eating the entire crust (some, of course) but then just eat the topping?  That's usually my strategy if I am tempted to eat the whole thing.  
Okay, I sort of succeeded....sort of.  I did get a latte as planned and DID NOT eat the pizza at the school party. But, I did take home some extra pizza for us all to eat for dinner and I did eat two pieces...........................and another 1/2.   The 1/2 was the one part I didn't want to own up to!  
So, key here is have a plan.  But, then what do you do when the plans change and then, on the spot, you don't have a plan?   Now there's another dilemma to ponder on.  I should have instead had another shake.....


See you in the gym in the morning!
