My team at work knows I have started a nerw healthy lifestyle so to celebrate my birthday we had chocolate protein bars instead of cake and ice cream. I thought that was very thoughtful and supportive of them. Anyone else have experiences when people around you jump on board ?

    That is super awesome!!

    I have a co-worker who is VERY health conscious and doesn't eat any type of treats at all. As a thank you gift for her work on a project, the manager sent a fruit/nut basket in place of chocolate/something else. I thought it was pretty awesome that they actually considered what she'd like rather than throwing a generic treat out there.

    Were they good? I think I'd rather have a fruit tray or something... Or cupcakes.

    Glad you liked them! I guess that's what's important.

    Me, on the other hand, would have gone to Dairy Queen and brought back an ice cream cake. It's cake AND ice cream. But I'm a diva on the one day a year of which I was birthed.

    If someone got me protein bars for my birthday, I'd beat their face in

    *ETA "in lieu of cake"

    If there was cake accompanying said protein bars, we'd be cool. Just protein bars? Meh.
