I've really been craving Applebee's Fiesta Lime Chicken lately, but I about died when I saw that it's almost 1,300 calories (that's about how much I eat in a whole day). So I've not let myself get it since I've been using this site. Well, today's my birthday and I had my dinner (only half of it). I still went over on my calories today, but I worked out really hard as well. For my b-day I bought myself a Polar F4 heartrate monitor. I've heard so much about them since I've been using myfitnesspal. I must say it was a splendid idea and a great birthday present to me; and something I'll be able to actually use everyday. I feel more motivated to push myself by seeing my target heart rate. Anyway, overall today was a great day and I'm proud to say that even though I'm one year older, I'm 13 pounds lighter than I was on my birthday last year (actually for the last 5 years for that matter)!!!

    It's your birthday. Think like this. When you're born, you don't know what a calorie is, so who cares if you go over. Just be under the next day. An work out. I went out to est for my birthday. Had a pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato. It was good. Until i felt it coming up while i was sleeping. I guess my point it's your birthday, one day out of a year. Treat yourself. If its a 1300 calorie dinner, or a 1300$ dress treat yourself that one day an smile
