My birthday was was Saturday. I am a year older and wiser for sure.
Ok. Back to the task at hand. According to the title of this post, I am going to be writing about what I ate for my birthday. I decided to simply eat whatever I wanted for the entire weekend. What the heck! It was my birthday for goodness sake! I'll be honest throughout this weekend, I wanted to go back to my new healthy way of life, but I wanted to say I ate bad and enjoyed it. I didn't. I had cake and I ended up with a stomach ache. I had fried crab cakes and the grease annoyed me. I had a cupcake, and sweetened iced tea and the sugar was unbearable. I was craving a salad and grilled anything the whole time.
What an experiment.
I honestly thought I was going to enjoy my health sabbatical. Seriously, I knew today was going to be the biggest battle EVER. But I woke up with the right cravings (egg whites, wheat bread, grilled chicken, salad). I guess after a year I have actually changed. It's hard to believe. A year ago, everything was forced. I fought so hard to eat the right thing. Even when that meant staring at what I really wanted while simultaneously talking myself into purchasing what I needed, I learned to choose what was great for me.
My only regret: I DIDN'T GET MY HANDS ON ANY CHEESE CAKE!!!
I think I put on two pounds. I'll get those off this week for sure.
There were many variables, but one true constant; I enjoy my new healthy life!
