My 28th Birthday!!

Gorgeous sunflowers from my boyfriend for my birthday!

Hello friends! I know it has been a long time since I've written on here. I have really been struggling with my weight over the last couple of months, as you may have read in my previous posts. Well, up until now it didn't get much better. I was good for a short while, then I went out of town for the weekend and lost it again. I had started to feel really bad about myself, but I told myself that after my birthday it was time to get serious again. And I am back on track now, taking it one day at a time. Each day it gets easier, just like it used to be. And I've been cooking some really good new recipes, which I will share soon (I've taken pictures of the food but left my camera cord at my boyfriend's house and can't upload any of my pics!). Recently I've made chicken teriyaki stir fry and last night I made DELICIOUS Weight Watchers friendly chalupas! There were YUMMY, and the idea was courtesy of my fantastic boyfriend, who is very supportive of my weight loss goals. We made everything the Weight Watchers way. :) Pictures and recipes to come, I promise!

Now, on to my birthday. I just turned 28!!!! The number 28 seems so.....old. I hate to say that! But it does. I only have two more years left in my 20's! Noooooooo!! LOL. My birthday celebration was a lot of fun. Friday, a group of 17 friends and I went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner, and then a few of us hit up Howl at the Moon afterwards for drinks and entertainment. Very fun! Then on Saturday (my actual birthday) the celebration continued at my mom's house, where she and my step-dad cooked dinner and we celebrated with my grandparents, brother and his gf, and of course my bf. It was so nice to be with family! Below are some pictures from Friday night.

So to wrap this up...I'll be back SOON to share pictures and recipes from my latest food adventures, along with points values and what I have been eating lately. I just need my camera cord!

Thanks for reading and until next time, Happy Eating!
