I've been doing a great job this week- eating healthy foods, and exercising. But, I've had major pizza cravings. A single slice just wasn't going to cut it, and it had to be covered in delicious melted cheese. So, before I snuck out to eat an entire meat lovers pizza, I decided to make my own. It turned out delicious, much healthier than the alternative, and I ate a quarter of the pizza for under 400 calories. Awesome!

| The crust. 100% whole wheat and super tasty! |
I'm too lazy to make my own pizza crust. So, here's my favorite store bought crust: Mama Mary's (I am in no way affiliated with them...but, I wish I was). It's delicious, 100% whole wheat, low in calories, and it comes out wonderfully thin and crispy. It's pretty darn big, and only 540 calories for the whole shebang (yes, I realize that's a lot...but, it's so worth it).

There you have it. Healthier pizza. It satisfied my cravings, didn't put me over my calorie limit, and snuck in some more veggies. Perfect! Although next time I think I would throw some spinach on it.
