Hi everyone just a flying visit while my emails download and then I need to get to work
Thanks all for the birthday wishes...I had a fantastic time doing just what I wanted to do....They did manage to get me to have a meal in the end, but it was at the pub where I wanted to go to in the first place, but they told the pub how many people were going and they closed off the top floor of the pub for us..so those that wanted to eat could and those that didn't could still stay up there and just drink without disturbing anyone else not in our party who had gone just to eat..which was really nice. I was very good and had a salad and a jacket potato.
Afterwards we all went back to my sisters, where they had decorated the house with birthday banners and balloons, it really was great.
my hubby had made the biggest chocolate cake I have ever seen for me, he said he looked to find a recipe for a low calorie cake but couldn't find one and he thought...oh what the heck..she wont eat it anyway so he went all out and made one for everyone else to enjoy....I swear there must have been about 100000 calories in that cake...but I did eat some of it and I don't regret it at all....I cut down on my calories for 3 days before saturday and I cut down again on sunday so I think I have made up for anything that I ate over my limit on saturday...If I have gained anything this week I am not going to beat myself up about it...it was worth it and I think just this once I deserve it...now I am going all out to reach my final goal...this is definitely the home stretch

Today is also my 20th wedding anniversary and I am cooking a meal for us both...no danger in me overeating today

I got the new digital camera that I wanted and took some pictures on saturday night I will try and get them posted on my webpage when I get home, but being my wedding anniversary I'm not sure hubby will be too thrilled if I spend it on the computer so it may be tomorrow before I get it done.
Well better go...work calls

Have a great day everyone
