Today is the dreaded monthly birthday celebration I am sure every office has in some form or another. Our celebration happens once a month to celebrate the birthdays in that month. We rotate who brings the treats. We have had some awesome treats!! I love tasting all the awesome treats! Today I am one of the lucky suppliers of the treats! I planned to plan and bake something last night, but that did not happen, life got in the way! I will go at my lunch break to find some delicious at the grocery store, of course keeping in mind what might be a bit healthier and more point friendly.
I am sure there are some people out there on diets that lock their office door and hide during the dreaded birthday celebrations. And yes, I have done that before. When I first started Weight Watchers I would go get coffee during that time, or shut my door and pretent I was working too hard. All that, just to avoid the awesome treats! As time went on I decided to just give in and allow myself to enjoy the treat and the social time. Most times (not always, I am not perfect!) I will plan my breakfast and lunch around the event. I will also make sure I stay away from the candy dishes that day!
Today, I have a light lunch, left overs of Chicken Taco Chili, and had a Starbucks Spinach and Feta wrap for breakfast. I have had no snacks and plan to drink lots of water and stay away from the candy dishes! I am ready and prepared and cannot wait to have a taste of those awesome treats!!
{On a side note, I wanted to say I did go back and journal for the weekend, and I got a good walk in last night!!!}

To keep myself honest I had to come back and say I bought cupcakes and I ate german chocolate cake! I feel great and hope to do some kind of activity tonight!
it sure is tricky! I usually go, because its a nice excuse to get away from my desk (since sitting all day is horrible for the body) and to socialize with my coworkers (we are currently on 4 different floors, so some people I very rarely see!!).
