Surviving a Birthday

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philippians 4:13
April 14th was my birthday and of course birthdays are to be celebrated. However I wanted to stay on the right track. My co-workers ordered a Ham, Cheese and Egg Casserole from Living Lean Meals (I have this for breakfast every morning) and brought fruit, veggies and low fat dip and cheese and crackers to celebrate at the office. I was taken to lunch, my choice, and we went to Ruby Tuesdays. They have the best salad bar and I ordered mini burgers. Of course the burgers come with fries but I leave the fries and one mini burger to take home to my husband. One mini burger and a salad is plenty for lunch. My husband has postponed our celebration until after my weight-in and measuring on Friday April 18th. SO all in all I think I survived really well. Planning is the key to any hurdle when trying to eat healthy and live a healthy life style. In May my church has its annual Anniversary Sunday. Food is spread across table as far as you can see. That will be my next food challenge. I will let you know how I do of course!!!

Another important part of making life changes is to remember that you are doing this for you!! No one else is going to workout for you or eat the right foods for you or do your cardio. You have to take care of you!!! A real blessing is good supporters and I truly have that. This is the topic of my next blog.

Thanks for "tuning in" to my adventure in healthy living!!
