Good Morning!! Okay. Truth. It isn't morning. Good Afternoon!!! We dragged ourselves home in the wee hours of the morning. Went to the Casino after our fabulous steak dinner at Wolf Lodge Inn, a great steak place just outside of Coeur d' Alene, Idaho last night for dinner. No we didn't win it big but we did come home EVEN and had a fun time trying to win a bunch of money for my birthday!! LOL!!!
Weight is up 5 lbs. Yes 5 lbs today!! Can you believe it? One indulgence day and I didn't even have cake and ice-cream!!! It will come back down. I fluctuate up and down quite easily. Too funny. I am mostly back on track today. I did splurge and have toast with my eggs this morning. Last week we bought a loaf of bread from a Mennonite Bakery north of town. I had not had one slice and really wanted to have some. I figured since I did not and will not have birthday cake I could afford to have some toast. It was delicious. We will warm up the left over steak on our BBQ for dinner tonight and I'll through together a green salad to go with it. I think I may exercise. I took yesterday off. Getting on track today is important. Can't let this roll I'm on stop.
I noticed when I was getting something out of the freezer this morning I have 2 Marie Callendar pies in there. I was momentarily tempted to bake one ... pie for my birthday??? The problem is if I do that I will be tempted to eat it until it is gone ... thereby tempting my good roll and taking steps backwards. Hubby and I have an anniversary next week so perhaps I'll have birthday/anniversary dessert next week for an indulgence day. I need to remember that there is no hurry to eat treats. They are not going to disappear if I fail to eat them right now. I want to be able to wear all my clothes again. I want to feel good in my body. I can get back to where I am more comfortable. There will be plenty of opportunities for indulging in my future. Think I've convinced myself???
In addition to eating out and playing at the casino last night we also stopped by Macy's. I haven't been out shopping in quite some time. I had a left over gift card from a couple of Christmas's ago. We found 2 very nice tops for me. My purse is falling apart so we started to look at purses too. We found a beautiful burgundy leather Lucky purse on sale. Oh my goodness, even on sale they are so expensive!!! Well, it turns out they were having a "pre-sale" and if I paid for it but waited to pick it up until April 25th I would get another 25% off!!! My hubby convinced me to get the purse. After the gift card (which was like free money to me!!!) the 2 tops and the purse only cost $88.00!!! Not bad!!! Now I can look forward to picking up my "gifts" in 10 days ... a way to celebrate my birthday ALL MONTH!!! LOL!!!
It is cloudy and windy here today. Not too warm. We have a fire in the woodstove, again!! At least it isn't snowing or raining right now though!! That I am delighted about!!! Staying home today. Relaxing at home, enjoying the comfort of my humble abode and the company of the love of my life. Works for me.
Thank you all for your birthday wishes!! While Bren is remaining 39 I am 54 today. Seems so very strange. My hubby kindly reminded me that next year I'll qualify for a senior discount at many places!! He's 5 years older than me. He's just jealous!!! LOL!!!
Wish me luck with staying on track the rest of today. At heart I am a woman who simply LOVES to eat. Finding the balance of loving to eat and loving to feel good is a challenge for me. I know I am not alone in that challenge. It is all of you that make it possible for me to continue this journey. Thank you!!!

Birthday celebrations sound awesome. I'm jealous of your elders discount at 55! We have to wait til 65 here and even then they're not worth having. I tried to get away without lighting the stove this week, but temperatures have been dropping to below freezing overnight again. I can identify with being woken up very early by a old wet nose too.

I love to eat. LOVE. Thats a neat story about your purse, I love lucky (just told you on fb lol) I got lucky w/ a red one at Ross, thats what I have today. That was still pricey too (there). Way to stay strong w/ that pie. LOL my bday is turkey day, we do bday pie ALL (work and home) the time but I like your idea of saving it for the anny. You can work ups some kinda goal reward for that one! Oh Moose, I amm way off the wagon, feels good to hear you are back on it!

Happy Birthday (late)... sounds like you had a great time! I notice I can fluxuate easily within a few pounds - lots of time depending on if I ate something like steak, which in itself would be protein and not really fattening, but we always eat Lawry's seasoning salt on ours so there is that sodium water weight that sticks around a bit.
So cool about your purse! Hey, I'm all for "month long" celebrations!
Hope you're having a great day. After several days of storms, cloudiness, wind, cold and gloom, today is actually going to see some sun. Amazing how much that can make a difference in the attitude!
