    Enjoy your birthday! Certain days are worth suspending the rules. I don't call them "cheat" days because I'm not cheating at all. I'm making a conscious decision to ignore my calorie and macro goals temporarily. Then it's right back to the normal routine the next day.

    Everyone has their own way of handling celebrations and knowing whether a complete blow out would derail them. I have learned not to let food rule my life or be the center of a celebration. I very much enjoyed my father's 80th birthday celebration and my daughter's wedding and staying very close to my calorie goals. In return, I didn't feel sick to my stomach from eating too much food that my body wasn't used to handling.

    Yes, I ate cake and other delicious things. I added a bit of exercise to allow myself enough extra calories to be reasonable.

    My debauchery only had me over by 390 calories yesterday. Kind of lame lol.

    For breakfast I had a big serving of oatmeal... 297 calories.

    This was my best guestimate for the night out as I cannot find Real Sports Bar nutritional info anywhere. Started by sharing some wings (4) - 210 calories.
    Ordered an awesome Triple Threat sandwich with a side order of garlic fries.
    I took a bite of the sammy and realized I was already half full and didn't need the bun. So I just ate the bbq meat (and probably saved myself 300 calories). Together the 3 meats (maybe 2 oz each but I calculated for a lot more) worked out to about 400 calories.

    Garlic Fries - Seasoned probably high in sodium but I figured it was a 4oz serving... I logged 6 just in case - 248 calories

    Dessert was a surprise 2 inch brownie with a bit of ice cream and fresh fruit. My friend helped me eat it... but I will take all the calories just in case I underestimated somewhere. 376 calories

    Had 2 pints of beer.. separated by glasses of water. 418 calories. Walked it off after watching the hockey game. Not a bad result after all.

    Daily goal - 1200
    Daily total - 2030
    Exercise allotment 440

    Over by 390 calories.

    Thanks everyone for the advice, the birthday wishes and keeping me honest.
