History: We are mere babies in this industry but we are paving the way in Richmond for mobile fitness greatness…

Fitting It In, LLC. Mobile Fitness and Nutrition originally opened back in 2000 when Carrie graduated college but her love of fitness goes back to elementary school where she was very active in all sorts sports, even when it was mostly an all-boys club.  She went on to work at a local women’s fitness club in Richmond, VA teaching group exercise during some of her high school career before leaving for college in 1995.  In college, Carrie studied Human Health and Exercise Sciences and graduated with a Degree in Exercise Sciences with a concentration in Fitness Leadership from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in early 2000.  After time in NYC working for Corporate Fitness and Wellness, she returned to Richmond.  She jumped back into corporate wellness while at the same time building Fitting It In, LLC. until she took the full-time plung 2007.   It has been the greatest adventure since and to this very day!

OWNER: Carrie C. Lewis

A little about me…

Fat Head Pizza Recipe

FatHead Pizza- This photo is MY FATHEAD PIZZA, burned it just a tad but man YUM!FatheadpizzaWe are sharing this recipe off of the http://www.dietdoctor.com- we love this site.  So many great recipes!

Ingredients: 
Crust and Toppers

Crust

  • 5½ oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tsp salt

  • olive oil to grease your hands

Toppers

  • 8 oz. fresh italian sausage
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • ½ cup unsweetened tomato sauce
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • 4½ oz. mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Watch it if you oven cooks hot, mine does!

  2.    Heat mozzarella and cream cheese in a small, non-stick pan on medium heat or in a bowl in the microwave oven.

  3. Stir until they melt together. Add the other ingredients and mix well.

  4. Moisten your hands with olive oil and flatten the dough on parchment paper, making a circle about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. You can also use a rolling pin to flatten the dough between two sheets of parchment paper.

  5. Remove top parchment sheet (if used). Prick the crust with a fork (all over) and bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven.

  6. While the crust is baking, sautée the ground sausage meat in olive oil or butter.

  7. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the crust. Top the pizza with meat and plenty of cheese. Bake for 10–15 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

  8. Sprinkle oregano (if you choose to) on top and serve with a green salad.

Eating Clean and Green

Eating has never been something I have really enjoyed.  I do it b/c I must. Now some people eat to live, and some live to eat.  What kind of eater are you?

It is incredibly important that you eat as close to nature as possible.  Just getting rid of products high in sugar and low in nutrients can make a world of difference to how you feel.    Also, try removing or cutting way back on products that have been highly processed.  These items were never meant to be consumed by OUR BODIES.  Check us out @mobile1fitness to see some of what we prefer for consumption 🙂

We know it is hard to always eat well and exercise but if you just change a few things here and there and try to do well 90 % of the time you will feel so much better, we promise.  If you need more help come see me at
