WOW! Thanks everybody. It's been a great day. Hubby bought me roses (pale orange, almost peach, very pretty) and took me to my favorite restaurant. As a birthday present, the owners of the restaurant gave me the family sized spicy tilapia instead of the individual portion I ordered (but I only ate a reasonably portion, and had leftovers). My family (Mom, Dad, sisters, and three nephews) came up from IL. We took fried fish and fixings for them for supper, but I had my leftover tilapia (and still have about two meals worth left - it's a pretty good calorie bargain, if I don't eat much of the sticky rice that goes with it - I haven't so far).
It's been a really great day (just got home and I'm exhausted).
I'm late to the party, but just wanted to chime in with good birthday wishes. Sounds like you had a real enjoyable day. And may the year ahead be your very best one yet!
Happy Birthday! I just read a great post by you on the thread about losing more than 1 to 2 pounds a week, and look forward to reading, and learning from you, more.
