Good morning guys! Monday already, yuck! I had a pretty decent birthday weekend. My kids bought me a couple new things for a flower garden I'm putting in this year and my husband bought me roses and the book Divergent. We went out for black light put-put, and out to dinner after. The kids had a blast. I took K's advice to heart, the kids really are growing up fast! Yesterday I did my runs to visit my family. First my grandma, then my mom. I just felt too guilty to not go visit my mom. I can't avoid her because of my brother, that's just not fair. I did put limits on it though, she wanted me to spend the whole day at her house... no, no, and no. After we left there my husband and I took the kids to a local marsh off of lake Erie, lots of trails for wildlife watching. We saw deer, turtles, squirrels, chipmunks, and all kinds of birds from your average robin to herons on the lake. It was very nice, and we walked a 5k. Win/win.
Didn't make the worst food choices, although the scale does not still say 189 lol. I apparently ate too much at dinner Saturday because I was in some serious pain. Apparently I can't handle bread, a handful of appetizer and my entrée. Silly shrinking belly, lesson learned. Used to eat double of what I ate with no issues, isn't that funny. Weight will come back down, I'm not concerned.
My only disappointment over the weekend is that not one person in my jack-wad family bought or made me a cake. Wtf?! This is a big deal because I bake a cake for every single person's birthday. Even my mother-in-law. My grandma had baked a pineapple upside down cake, but it was for my uncle, not me. And she offered a piece to everybody in the room....except me. My husband said maybe it's because I lost all the weight that nobody made me a cake. I kind of just stared at him... ninety-seven freaking pounds... do you really believe one slice of cake had anything to do with that?!?! Oh well, I guess that was my psychotic moment of the weekend... I am a woman, eh Bruce? lol (joking of course, you know I love ya!) Oh, and my brother in law & sister in law intentionally refused to wish me a happy birthday. I truly thought I was a likeable person until I met my in-laws, they have convinced me that I am very much hate-able.
So that is the condensed version of my weekend. Today I must grocery shop, then I have a drug screen/physical for the LPN program. Wish me luck! Bahaha, just kidding :-) No gym today due to lack of time but I'm going to try really hard to do like those IF boys do and have a lower calorie/carb day to compensate for the weekend. I might fail, lol, which will be okay but I'll give it a go!
Kayla was off the ventilator for an hour over the weekend and was breathing on her own, which is great news. There is hope yet :-)
I hope you all have a wonderful day <3

Happy Birthday again. Sounds really fun. The cake thing? I'm on the fence. On Valentines Day last year Blondie brought me chocolate dipped strawberries and I reacted badly 'don't you even respect that I'm trying to eat better' ... I was way strict about my intake then (hmm.. is that why I was still losing weight then?) and stupidly handled it badly. By the time my BD rolled around I'd improved my reactions toward food gifts enough to cordially thank people giving me them but regifting food faster than 'feed the children'. SOME recognition of your birthday was definitely warranted and an even BETTER one would have been one of those fruit cakes (watermelon cake) giving the celebration of your date of birth it's due and still being a healthy choice for everyone... meh, jack-wads .. .that works.

I agree with FullaBella, there should have been recognition of your birthday. I don't think I could handle being around family that did that to me. You don't deserve that treatment.

One little peice of cake won't kill you after 97 pounds are gone, now 97 pieces of cake might have a bad affect. if you want I'll make you a cake, happy birthday. Even though everyone might think oh she don't need it it is the F34cking point of getting a cake on your birthday.

Your husband could have taken a piece of cake and shared it with you.

Happy belated birthday! I've had the no cake birthdays before. My family is just clueless though. Love them to bits but unless I tell them don't forget the cake then I probably won't see one. They actually appear suprised when there isn't one. Apparently a birthday fairy is suppose to deliver them. I vote you go get one of those tiny personal cakes or a slice of cake from the deli and proceed to eat the thing in front of them. Tell them the birthday fairy delivered it since they forgot.

Your family is that Hubby and those two kids...and you are doing a wonderful job with them~! Glad to hear that you and your kids had such a good time. The rest of the family probably thought that you would not want the extra calories of a cake and did not want to tempt you. (I would have asked if you wanted one!) Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Do you normally eat with them the cake that you make for them this last year? If you haven't been having a piece of cake with them that could be why they did what they did. I can see with your success that you have been making all these cakes but then not eating any of any of them. You have SOOO much to be proud of. Don't let this little thing drag you down! Move on and kick some more of the fats a**.

Oh man, reminds me of my last birthday. Friend baked me a cake on the WRONG day then offered it to a bunch of strangers and I got the last piece. It was so weird and I was so unreasonably mad about it. haha.

In my defense she said something really weird like, "I'm sorry NO ONE (named a bunch of my friends) could be here for your birthday . . . " in front of these people I didn't know and then offered everyone the cake (???) It wasn't even the right day, and if you're going to bake a cake, invite some people to share it with me so it's not weird? maybe? lol sorry had to rant. Glad you had fun otherwise. ;)

Your latest picture looks SO amazing! Happy belated birthday :)

The same thing happens to me on any occassion with cake. Hey folks, it's ok to at least offer a piece of cake or for Heaven's sake give a birthday cake, to someone who's dieting. They'll make the right decision for them how much they have, if any at all. Sheeesh!

Minus some family issues; sounds like a great day! If I had a day like that I'd be doing cartwheels on the front lawn. I take that back; if I attempted a cartwheel they'd have to call an ambulance and ruin the whole day.
My birthday comes at the end of this month. A severe reversal of fortune has made holidays difficult. I'm just going to enjoy yours!

Thank you guys, for your overwhelming support and joining in with me in the rage against family members who don't provide birthday cake! lol You know I hate to disappoint, but K I absolutely have had at least one piece of every cake I've baked for people around me lol. I LOVE cake! I am not a restrictive dieter, and I always partake in the delicious food options at holidays and such, and have still had great success. (I do understand your frustration, Bella, and I know how hard it is when you feel like people are sabotaging you.) It is my family that seems to think I need to be restrictive... they're the ones who have it all backwards. I wish I could photograph the looks on their faces every time I sit down with dessert... priceless. You would think they would have figured out by now that I still eat, right? Ah well, lesson learned. I fully accept that in the future I will be responsible for my own cake lol. I bought four slices of chocolate cake from the local bakery today to share with my husband and kids tonight after dinner. The kids will be pleased, as will I :-) Oh, and for the record any referral to 'family' does not apply to my husband, he was simply clueless. If I would have said I wanted cake, he would have ran out at midnight to find one for me. He just tried so hard I didn't want to burst his bubble by telling him I was disappointed lol.

Gotta love being related to people you just... gotta love. No matter how much they burn you up. I extracted myself from a toxic friendship years and years ago only to have one of my cousins start raising a baby with the person. X| Oh family. Glad your birthday went well, even if it wasn't as planned. :) If I knew you IRL I'd have baked a cake so decadent you'd be in a chocolate coma just from looking at it. ^_^ Maybe it's for the best, then. Lol.

I think your family may have been afraid to bake you one since you have done so well. I could see my husband thinking that.

Great news about your friend and so glad you had a good weekend with your husband and kids. Cake? I can take it or leave it so I don't see it as a big deal. My partner and I don't even bother with cards for our birthdays and we generally go away as a treat. The only present I had for my 50th was a beautiful Whitby Jet and Silver pendant from my brother and his wife. I think the last thing he bought me was David Essex's first album when I was 12 LOL
Have a fantastic week :-)

Girl forget the in-laws, plus you should make your own cake and not offer anybody any of it. Let it go stale, also I am glad to hear the good news on your friend. I am glad you had a good weekend over all.

Glad you got to have some fun for your birthday! Your in-laws can just suck it! You are like-able, they are the ones who don't sound very like-able, smack-able maybe. A couple of years ago my hubby didn't make me a cake because I was eating healthier and he thought that I'd be mad at him for making me a cake, not irrational after I had about bit his head off when he asked me once if I wanted to go to Dairy Queen. So, needless to say I made my own cake, because you have to have cake on your birthday, and ever since he took the hint and he's either made or bought me a cake or cupcakes, and now that the kids are older they can help and that makes it more special. People who have never been on the healthy eating and exercise journey don't understand that your life isn't all or nothing, so really they probably meant well, but that doesn't help the sting of not feeling celebrated. Great news on your friend!!
