What Happened On My Birthday

Mirabilis

Hi all

Yesterday was my birthday. What I have to celebrate is that since January, I'm down 38 lbs. Thanks to ToM it's not 40 lb. BUT I now weigh at 51 what I weighed at 21 and that's definitely something to celebrate. Mind you, I was not a skinny kid :laugh:

I definitely didn't eat healthy by my new "normal" standards, but I still had a salad for lunch and low cal stir fry for dinner (hubby cooked!) and thanks to going to the gym first thing that morning, I came in under maintenance calories at the end of the day! I also discovered that the super-rich little chocolate cheesecake I had was not enjoyable in the slightest! I really would have rather had fruit. Go figger!

Here's the best part.. Hubby, who is new to all of this, is now weighing himself and told me he's lost 12 lbs. No junk food in the house has its benefits!

I wish my hubby wouldnt bring in any crap food but he does but hes a marine so he burns it off just by looking ta it... Today is my birthday and hopefully by my next birthday I can be 50lbs lighter what I was at 21 before my kiddos!!!!

Happy Belated Birthday! Good for you and your husband!!! I recently celebrated my birthday too (20th) and had a dinner with family. It was not food I would have chosen, but I knew it would be very high in calories so I got up and ran a little longer than normal, then I did stairs for 1/2 hour and when I got home I ran for another 1/2 hour. I ended up coming in under my calorie goal (I did eat most of my exercise calories) even after eating that carrot cake WITH cream cheese frosting. I just had a small piece of cake and I enjoyed every bite, but I knew I was going to work extra hard to make sure this day didn't mess up my weight loss plan!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and congrats Mirii! That's got to feel pretty darn good! What an accomplishment! I know what you mean about the cheesecake. We (family of 4) split some last night. I had three fork fulls and felt sick from the sugar. :laugh: who'da thought!
