You say it's your birthday...

Na-na, na-na, na-na!  Is it wrong to sing to yourself?  If so, my brain is so wrong this morning! 

I am officially 41.  I don't feel older.  I think you lose that feeling older feeling about 12 and it only comes back when you're in your 80's.  I bought a watch Saturday at the QVC store in the Mall of America.  It's similar to this one only no Mickey.  Pete looked at it and asked why it was so big.  I told him watches must be like glasses - the older you are, the bigger the glass part gets. 

I started off today just like any other day - at the gym at 5am.  Pete accidentally took my running shoes out of the bag so I had to get on the treadmill in my outdoor running shoes that are 2 years old.  It was different and my legs noticed it.  I wanted to quit, but I did it.  Actually I wanted to stay in bed and listen to the rain/snow/sleet instead of going to the gym.  I did my 40 minutes/2.25 miles and we headed home. 

I've been working my behind off at work on a case that kind of blew up.  Sorry that I can't elaborate more.

I have a nice healthy fish dinner planned with more roasted veggies.  I didn't buy a cake and I don't think Pete is headed out to buy one.  However, someone at work brought The 7 Pound Chocolate Cake from Costco.  You can see pictures of it on the blog in the link.  It's SINFUL!  And I'm aiming to have a piece.  I've been and intend to be good in all my other eating for the rest of the day. 

As for my birthday goal of 15 pounds lost by today - I didn't make it.  But you know what?  I have so much muscle in my arms, back, chest and legs.  My pants are loser (I can fit into regular sizes/Misses clothes) in most stores for pants and shirts.  So I'm happy with my progress.  While I haven't lost pounds, I can tell that I've lost fat and built muscle.
