Another Year Older -- Still Not Getting Any Wiser Though...

Birthdays have a tendancy to make people depressed.  Not me, which is unfortunate.  Depression usually makes me lose weight.  On the contrary, yesterday I spent my birthday like a regular Tuesday, but with more singing and more cards :)  Oh, and about 150 Facebook messages sending me birthday wishes.  Too bad I don't earn activity points on Weight Watchers for olympic FB responses.   I managed to 'like' and thank every single person who wished me a happy birthday individually before midnight (last comment posted at 11:58pm last night. w00t!)  What a day.

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.
