Oh well, it’s a depressing rainy day here. I think it’s pretty much rained all day. Sometimes it’s light rain, other times it’s heavy rain. I haven’t done much in the way of housework. I’m using sore muscles as an excuse, but it’s not really a good one. I did do some baking though.

That’s cracked wheat oatmeal bread on the left (although well cooked, I think next time I’ll try a higher temperature to get a better looking exterior). And that’s one of 12-1/2 whole wheat mini pizza shells I made. I know, I don’t really know why. I ended up tossing the first one though (came apart while lifting it out of the oven). I did end up with one mini-mini shell at the end though. And so, my afternoon snack was born - the 147 cal pizza!

Really…

Shell - 67 cals
Ham - 20 cals
Mustard - 8 cals
Cheese - 52 cals

Oh, did I mention that plate it’s on is just about 7″ side to side…

Although the full-sized shell worked out to 134 cals, which with some tomato sauce (I had it, just didn’t open the jar yet), meat, and keeping the cheese to a minimum, will make a nice lunch every now and then.  The breads and baking in general are good, and it’s all about portions. I don’t take sandwiches, so it’s just a small piece a breakfast with jam or perhaps peanut butter. The only real challenge today was to not take any bread when warm (a dangerous time for tasting). The two loaves and the pizza shells are now in the freezer, although I just decided I would have one of the shells tomorrow for lunch.

And yes, I do think I need a break. 24-hours into a rest day and I still kind of feel like truck ran over me. I think I’ll survive though. I’m actually beginning to think that the weather is affecting me a fair bit. My sinuses are acting up the last couple of days as well, which probably doesn’t help either.
