Birthday Pounds

At the beginning of this week, I got this kick to get healthy! I was excited about working out more and eating nothing but goodness. So, Monday I made a decent dinner and then took a run with Mary in the jogger stroller - I felt great by the time I got home! I vowed that night to keep it up - plenty of exercise and no junk food. Easy! 

I probably shouldn't have made my new resolutions the day before my birthday. Paul showed up with Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast, I had a huge bowl of pasta for lunch, followed by chocolate pie, then pizza for dinner and cupcakes for dessert. Paul knows how much I love junk food - but I never buy it because I would seriously eat it all in a day - so he got me tons of my favorite treats for my birthday . . . candy bars, sour patch kids, gummy worms, Coke, popsicles, Milano cookies . . . I feel like I'm forgetting something. Naturally, I enjoyed the junk food and took the day off from exercising. It was my birthday, it was good for me.    

I got back into the swing of things the next day! Until I went into the kitchen and saw extra donuts from the day before . . . and all the candy that I didn't knock out in one sitting. So, my modo for the week is to finish it all off as quickly as possible so I can get it out of the house and be done with it =). Good news - I'm still keeping up with my running - albeit I may be huffing up every hill in the neighborhood!  Bad news - we're heading to a dessert party for the rest of the night. Sheesh.
