Week 1, Day 4 - Happy Birthday to ME!

Wow! Today begins my last year in my 30s. Or as I like to look at it, I'm 21 with 18 years of experience! Well, no matter how you look at it, I've turned 39 and I'm one year closer to my metabolism backfiring on me. So, I'm especially glad that I have made this change. I'm on Day 4 and while things aren't "perfect" for me, I am keeping track of every bite I take and holding myself complete accountable for my choices. Back to my birthday. My daughters greeted me after work with big hugs and kisses and fabulous handmade birthday cards. Those are the greatest gifts of all! I also received some fabulous gift cards for iTunes (workout music?) and Starbucks (lucky for me they have good, healthy choices!). I feel so spoiled! For dinner, I was given the option to choose my place of dinner. Where did I pick? Home. My hubby made me shrimp, steamed in Old Bay Seasoning, twice-baked potatoes (not my finest choice, but yummy nonetheless!), and a glass of white wine. I definitely went over my PointsPlus for the day BUT I was able to dip into my 'extra' points bank without running out of those. I'm pleasantly full and pleased with myself! Tomorrow is another day and I feel good about what tomorrow brings.
