Hey everyone.. just wanted to share. Well Friday is my birthday and as usual we celebrate birthdays for everyone here at work.. It always seems that we are celebrating.. which allllways consists of either donuts or cakes and cookies. ugggg.. so this year I made it clear that I didn't want a celebration. I purposely scheduled myself off on Friday to avoid all of this. So my boss emailed me yesterday and asks me what my favorite cake is.. and I said please no cake and told her that I was trying to focus on my health without going into much detail and just mentioned that if I did get a cake, she would be sabotaging my goals! lol.. well today I come into work and my desk is beautifully decorated and my boss brought me a nice little flower plant. I love it!!!

My other friend who mind you, is all but 112 pounds wants to go out to eat for my bday and im hoping she listens to me and just goes for a pedicure and a movie :) Life changes are my goal and for the time being I need to keep away from unhealthy temptations. YIKES!
 
Good for you, that's awesome!!

I know that's how a lot of people celebrate is with FOOD!! hahaha. In my family we always have a high calorie "birthday dinner" and drinks, etc. I love the idea of pedicure vs dinner. :D

It feels good to stick to your guns and not cave in! :D
 
I know, and I really have to be strong and re-focus re-focus re-focus! Its an all day all night thing. BUT reading everyone success storys and journeys really is so inspiring. Tomorrow I will weigh myself at the gym.. i really hope im out out the 190's
 
Happy Birthday =) It takes a lot not to give in to such temptations (especially on your birthday). You got what it takes to reach your goals. You just proved it!!! Good luck and I admire your determination (I have the same kind too) Cheers! :cheers2:
 
Luckily the girl at my last office was a bit on the moronic side. Every single time she bought a birthday cake she bought an ice cream cake- you know, "so this way, like, you don't have to buy the cake and ice cream separate".

And every single time she would look surprised when I told her "Yeah, I'm still lactose intolerant". Thankfully I didn't even have to show self control! Because honestly, after the first few times of throwing up ten minutes after eating, ice cream just wasn't that tempting... LOL!

Have a very happy birthday! And stay determined this weekend, because there is no better present to yourself than reaching your goals! :hurray:
 
happy birthday! i love the pedi/movie idea too. it's hard to get away from the celebration or reward=food mindset sometimes. it obviously just takes some creative thinking like u did... and it's great to see that u asserted yourself with your boss and your wishes were listened to - i think having your desk decorated and getting a plant instead of a cake is a great bday celebration since it doesn't sabotage your new lifestyle and goals.
congrats and i'm keeping my fingers crossed for ya that your scale reads in the 180's :)
 
Thank you everyone for all the birthday wishes! My girfriend agreed to pedicure and a movie!! Woot Woot. My husband wanted to go to breakfst this morning but I passed and although his feelings were a little hurt i'm sure he understands. He did say I can have just fruit and oatmeal. Here's me though, I eat that at home and whyyyyyyyyyyyy would I go to a restaurant to eat that??? HA! Besides, the place he wanted to go was buffet and is off the chain if you want to indulge. I decided to sleep in a little today and I will be headed to the gym shortly to do my day 2 of the c25k and then get all dolled up at the hair salon! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:hurray:
