Now, the important part of my birthday - what did I eat? Nothing good. Unfortunately, the weight gods have no real regard for whether or not its your birthday. There is no repreive there. On the plus side, I am singing at Carnegie Hall on Friday evening, and will not have an opportunity to weight in at Weight Watchers this week, unless I squeeze it in on my way home from work tomorrow, which seems quite unlikely. So, I suppose skipping weigh in this week isn't the worst thing in the world considering yesterday's birthday menu consisted of:
- Grilled Cheese (American, Smoked Mozzarella, Hot Sauce on Whole Wheat)
- Coffee
- Chicken Salad
- A Pickle
- Chick Peas
- An Obscenely Large Cookie Dough Cupcake (courtesy of my Darling Husband, hereafter referred to as 'DH')
That was just while I was at work. After work DH took me to see a movie (Bridesmaids - if you haven't seen it - GO SEE IT NOW. Hilarious!) What did I eat at the movie theater for "dinner"?
- 1 slice of movie theater pizza (gag me with a spoon it was awful - but did I eat it? You bet I did!)
- 1 order of movie theater deep fried chicken tenders (five were in the container - were they good? Nope. Did I eat them all up and lick my fingers afterwards? You betcha by golly gee whiz! I sure did!!)
- 1/2 of a Large Pepsi that I split it with DH. Because I only had half I therefore consider this a "small"
- 1 handful of DH's french fries, also deep fried and loaded with salt. Also not particularly good.
Clearly, I was not on my game yesterday. Another year older, yes. Wiser? Well -- I recongize that what I've consumed on my birthday will not only make me fatter, but prevent my goal of getting thinner... is this new found knowledge? No. Did I learn from my mistakes in years past? Kinda... I just chose to ignore them. So --- nope! Not wiser. Just older. And fatter. Damn it.
