So I have been doing really well lately with my eating and exercise, however, tomorrow is my birthday. My husband is taking me out to eat but I don't know where to go or whether I should just eat what I want and forget cals/carbs/fat for one meal. I've heard of people having cheat days. Is this one of those times this would be acceptable? I don't want to set myself back any either so I'm not sure what I should do. Suggestions???

    Is he taking you out for dinner? If it is, load up on tons of veggies during the day so you get your fiber intake and then go ahead and enjoy your one day off on your birthday. Happy Birthday!

    I say that you should just celebrate your birthday care-free. Eat what you want. One day is not going to set you back that far.

    Just get back on the horse the next day.

    Happy Early Birthday! :D

    Try to work out in the am first, then enjoy your dinner guilt free. It is only 1 day, enjoy it!

    Firstly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :)

    Secondly, it is possible to eat out while still being healthy. Just choose healthier options! Grilled meat, and lots of vegetables and water. But if you go over for one day, don't feel bad. It's your birthday, after all. Let loose and enjoy for a bit :)

    Go out and enjoy your Birthday! Eat smart all day and then do your best to eat something smart for dinner but still a treat! splurge and have dessert if you eat a super healthy dinner! do what you think YOU can handle. If you will feel guilty and not enjoy your night then eat smart! If you want to reward yourself for another year of life and all the hard work you have done then don't sweat it!!!
    Besides a high cal day every now and then does wonders for your routine and your sanity!!!
