Last week I discussed how being a locavore helps me lose weight. This morning I weighed 238.3, a loss of another 2 pounds over the last week! Can I maintain that weight loss as we start another week?
- Breakfast: Scrambled eggs (eggs, milk, butter -- all local)
- Lunch: Corn on the cob, broccoli, nectarine (all local)
- Dinner: Umm...
Dinner: Luca Pizza
Dawn was tired of sweetcorn, and I didn't mind saving what sweetcorn was left for tomorrow's lunch. We hadn't been out to eat for awhile, so we decided to do so. I was in the mood for pizza, but our favorite pizza place, Bellacino's, recently closed under mysterious circumstances. (Translation: They didn't tell us why!) Besides, Bellacino's is a chain, and if we're not going to eat local, maybe we should at least buy local.
So we decided to try Luca Pizza. They used to be located in White Oaks Mall, but are now located across the street. So how were they? Here's my mini-review!
Menu: They have a fairly large variety of items on their menu (pizzas, calzones, pastas, subs, etc).
Service: Helpful and reasonably fast.
Atmosphere: Plain. Nothing to entertain a 4-year-old, unfortunately. There was a TV on. Whether that's a plus or a minus depends upon your point of view. It was tuned for Fox News. Your opinion of that will also vary! For me, it was a definite minus. There was some airhead Republican spouting off about Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor and... Oh! Err... sorry. Where was I?
Food: The food wasn't anything special. Dawn had the fettuccine alfredo, while I had a sausage & pepperoni pizza. In both cases, the food was "eh". Definitely not bad, mind you! Just nothing that blew us away. It was also surprisingly expensive. I suspect he might have figured up the total wrong, but I didn't double-check his math.
Oh, and I did say that I had "a pizza", not "a slice of pizza". They do sell pizza by the slice, but I wasn't thinking clearly and ordered a 10" pizza. That's their smallest size, but still....
I suspect I won't still weigh 238.3 in the morning!
Don't sweat some stuff. The path to weight loss is all about moderation. I have been losing about a pound a week and I tend to have Fratello's pizza every Sunday night.
By the way excellent choice in the sausage and pepperoni.
