Noom Elephant Dialogues—But there’s still MORE PIZZA!?

 

More or leftover pizza

🏇🏼: Did you enjoy the Pizza? Wasn’t that a nice treat. 

🐘: I love pizza!

🏇🏼: Well, let’s freeze the leftovers so we can have some another day

🐘: But there’s still MORE PIZZA!?

🕵️‍♂️: There is wanting

🏇🏼: I know, we used to eat a lot of pizza but we learned that’s a lot of calories. 

🐘: But there’s still MORE PIZZA!?

🏇🏼: Before we had the pizza we had an orange, some crunchy carrots and celery, and a nice cup of tea. Aren’t you full? 

🕵️‍♂️: There is stomach fullness, yet there is wanting

🐘: You are stuck in the past, I live in the present. 

🐘: And now THERE IS MORE PIZZA! 

🏇🏼: Remember when we used to split a pizza with Dad?
🐘: That was nice. 

🏇🏼: The pizza was nice, but what made it really special was spending time with Dad. 

🏇🏼: Food isn’t love, it’s just food. 

🐘: Hmm, but after I eat pizza I am used to eating MORE PIZZA!

🕵️‍♂️: There is habit

🏇🏼: Let’s take a deep breath

🐘: <breathe in> 

🐘: <breathe out> 

🏇🏼: We can do this. This is us putting away pizza for later. 

🐘: I will like having more pizza later. 

Naan

Gave naan bread a try. Sharon found a recipe using sourdough. The one tweak I made was to use white whole wheat for all but one cup of the flour, which was bread flour. Cooked them up on two cast iron pans with the burners set to 6/10. Two minutes on first side, a smidge less on second. 

Had a couple with burrito fillings. Folded up like a soft taco. 

Next day made bbq chicken naan pizza. 

More double bagged in the freezer for later. 

They turned out well.

Next time: I might go with more white flour next time for a little softer bite. 

Noom: Elephant Dialogues--Pizza Day

🐘: Could we have more pizza? 🍕
🏇: We've had our pizza. Wasn't it good?
🐘: It was yummy! 😋
🐘: Could we have more pizza? 🍕
🏇: We can have more tomorrow. Why don't we go brush our tusks so they are nice and clean?
🐘: But that will get rid of the yummy pizza taste. 🍕
🏇: Exactly! Then we get to lift weights.
🐘: That sounds hard. Why not just eat more pizza?🍕
🏇: Did you feel good the last time we finished lifting weights?
🐘: Yeah, it was better once we got started. ☺️
🏇: Good observation. What a good Elephant you are.
🐘: 🏋️‍♂️

Fun fact: a serving of a Papa Murphy’s Family Stuffed Pizza is a One Sixteenth slice — 450 calories

PreNoom I’d have had 8 servings in an evening.
