$23.76

I just got up to pay the delivery man.  Of course, this eponymous amount pales in comparison to mow much I've spent on pizza this year.  At Papa John's, I've spent around $408.57 (recent transactions after August 13 excluded).  At Donato's, $122.17.  At Dominos, California Pizza Kitchen, Wolfman Pizza, Cici's, Luigi's Pizza, Pizza Hut, Giorgio's, Hungry Howie's and Carmellas, $192.43.  If you suck at math, this all in total, as of August 13, is $723.17.  This is what I'm spending on pizza after 2/3 of the year.  At this pace, I'll spend another $238.65 on pizza for the rest of the year, which would bring me to a grand total of  $961.82 spent on pizza for the year.  Of course, this excludes all cash purchases, which I'm sure account for up to 1/4 more.
The bottom line is this: pizza's friggin expensive, and is costing me an arm and a leg to sustain.  The pizza I just ordered, is, by the way, still sitting behind me untouched.  I'm going to start doing calorie restriction today, beginning with 1500 calories for a week.  If I can't sustain this after a week, I'm going to boost the calories by 100 each week to find a good sustainable area in which to work.  Of course, there will be exceptions to this plan, such as Oktoberfest and Thanksgiving, but as long as I plan for these, and the number of calories I intake on this day remain insignificant, I should be able to sustain this program.
Since I'm restricting calories, I'm able to eat whatever I want, as long as I don't exceed my allotted calories for the day.  This will take discipline and vigilance, but it should help me beat my addictions that seemed to have accumulated over the summer.
More tomorrow on what I should monitor while on calorie restriction.
