My Birthday Eve!!

Today...even though it's Monday, I am feeling Fantastic! I feel like I really had a great weekend and made some really healthy choices. My pants even feel a little bigger this morning! I think I'm planning on a little shopping trip this Saturday so we'll see how those size 9/10 fit! I wish that all stores had universal sizing! It's so frustrating....at one store I could be a 9/10 easily but next door I could be a 10/12. (I avoid these stores at all cost, I know it's just a number but still...)

So last night hubby and I went out and bought a George Foreman Grill I am so excited to use it. I'm going to grill up some chicken tonight to make a chicken wrap for tomorrow's lunch. So bring on the Grill recipes please!!!! Everyone who has one swears by it and it takes out all of the fat and grease. I think that wraps would be great in it too...make them crunchy and warm. So who's got one and what do you use it for?!?!

Tomorrow is the big BIRTHDAY!!! I am planning on staying on track but I also will not let a birthday go by where I don't blow out a candle. I don't have anything planned as of yet and hubby is being VERY secretive about what is going on tomorrow night so we'll see. Besides, birthday cake is 0 points as long as it has your name on it right?!?!?

  1. I think your own birthday cake works out to about -7 points. Depends on the cake really :) It only happens once a year, so enjoy it and then start to focus on your goals again. You will see nice results.

  6. Happy Birthday!

    One tip I have for your grill, watch out for anything with a sweeter sauce, like if you want to make grilled chicken with bbq sauce, the sweet sauces can burn really easily if you aren't careful.
