The girls and I were wanting pizza & breadsticks...so I went to Pizza Hut's website beforehand to pick out a personal size pizza and small order of breadsticks. I wanted to plan out what I could eat to ensure I didn't eat too many calories. I had my breadstick and two pieces of pizza, then threw away the leftovers. I would have been too tempted to munch on them later. Kind of a waste, but it felt good!

1 whole heart of romaine (30 cal)
1 apple (65 cal)
1 lemon (10 cal)
Amazingly, my girls drank half of it. They like smoothies, but I didn't think they would like this. I was pleasantly surprised! Since I didn't drink it all, I'm going to count it as 80 calories instead of 135.. :-)
