I meant to post yesterday, but I was too busy partying for my birthday! I had a great day.
Sadly, I’ve been eating a whole lotta junk the past couple of days. It’s been fun, BUT my body has felt very very grody. Blah. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised though. 😉
However, I must say this little hiatus from eating well has been really good for me. My mind (and taste buds) really needed the break. It’s almost felt like a mini vacation….and now I’m ready and willing to get back to work! I’m looking forward to seriously getting back on the wagon and staying there for a while.
Anyway, in case you are interested…..here are some highlights from my birthday….
- Kev took care of all of the “kid stuff” in the morning and let me sleep in. So sweet.
- Kev actually took the whole day off work so he could hang out with ME! So so sweet.
- I went to lunch at Red Robin (my fav!) with Kev and my two littlest kiddos.
Just before we left to Red Robin…with my almost 4 year old and my sweet little puppy dog, Jimmer.
- After Red Robin, we stopped and got a few of my favorite cupcakes from the Sweet Tooth Fairy. They are seriously so good. Sadly, I was so dang full from Red Robin that I didn’t even eat mine until today (and I only ate half of it!)
The best cupcakes in the world! I got a chocolate coconut one. YU…UMM!
- After we got home, I took a nice little nap. Seriously, all I wanted for my birthday was a nap and a cleanish house.
- Kev picked up all the kids from school so I could chill. So so so sweet.
- My sister came out and she and I went to one of my favorite classes at the gym!
- Oh, I must also say that my sweet sister has a “healthy living” blog as well. Yesterday she dedicated a post to ME! She posted a couple pics from when we were little and things. Very very sweet. In case you want to take a peek, click here. Also, she wrote another post today about having a sugar hangover. I had to laugh because I feel the same way!
- Anyway, while I was at the gym, the kids and Kev decorated the house…
- My daughter (and her partners in crime) made a birthday cake for me….
- After the gym, we hung out at our house with my sister, bro-in-law and all the kids. We got pizza from Papa Johns (seriously, the best pizza ever!)
- We also enjoyed some birthday cake (although I was too stuffed from pizza and didn’t even have ANY! Lame. I did have some of the candy my sister brought over though (see the grocery bag next to me chuck full of candy???)
Well, that was my birthday in a nutshell. I had a great day! However, I really like to “milk it” on my birthday! Yesterday’s celebration included all the kids (which was nice), but tonight I’m going to go out on a date with just my sweet little husband to enjoy a “day after my birthday” celebration as well! Yay.
AND THEN……….Tomorrow I’m going to hit it hard! It is BACK ON THE WAGON for me! I’m going to do a low-carb diet for 2-3 weeks (I seriously need it as a detox!) and then I’m going to add a few healthy carbs back in for a couple weeks after that! I of course, will keep you posted!
Oh, and Kev gave me some cash for my birthday and my sis got me a gift card to one of my favorite stores (Ann Taylor!). I’m going to hang onto both of them until I reach my goal weight and then go shopping! Fun!
HAPPY, Happy Birthday Melanie, nice to heat you had a great day! xx
Thanks Jenzy!! It was a fun day! 🙂
Happy belated birthday! It looks like you had a blast!
Thanks so much! I did have a wonderful day!!
You should go to Anne Taylor now! I honestly cannot figure out how much thinner your goal weight could possibly be! You look so good! Happy, happy birthday!
Thanks Amy, you are so sweet. Maybe the pictures I’m posting are flattering angles or something. 😉 I still have just a little more to lose. Thanks so much for your encouragement. I love you tons and tons!
