Birthdays!

My gosh...just preparing myself for tomorrow and the weekend! My baby turns 7 and we are doin Chuck E Cheese and a BBQ the day after. I do better at home festivities. Pizza is a hard one for me though. I plan on hitting the salad bar and Im making a low carb dessert to ward off cake. Wish me luck!

Eat a great breakfast that morning, and maybe a small healthy snack before you leave, or bring some health foods to munch on if you feel like you might need something beyond a salad....maybe bring along a hard boiled egg to add to the salad.
And remind yourself when you look at that pizza why you are doing this. I suspect your 7 y.o. has something to do with it...being able to be more fully engaged with your kids is often a motivation. I find that helps me step away from the pizza, the cake, the cookies....whatever temptation is before me. With time and repeated success, it does get much easier and easier. Heck, I even decided I didn't want cake for my own birthday this year! And I had no regrets. You can do this.
