Too Much Celebrating

What a great weekend! 


Happy Birthday America....





 
...











And Happy Birthday to me too! 

First of all, I wanted to share this picture of my birthday cake made by my sister-in-law and her two children.













Adorable, right?  Made my birthday even more special that they took the time to make such a nice birthday cake. 
 
Family picnic on Sunday filled with family and friends...oh, yeah, and lots of food...AND LOTS OF DESSERTS!  Took a picture of the "dessert room", but it didn't turn out well enough to really describe exactly what I mean by "dessert room". 
 
My intention was to get up on the 4th of July and go for a long run.  Okay.  That didn't happen.  But I did do some gardening and other stuff around the house before spending a few hours hangin out in the yard, grilling and even splurged and had "a few beers". 
 
I did get up early this morning for a run.  Wasn't easy though.  Three days of celebrating took a toll, but I managed to get through. 
 
Been back on target in the food category so far this today, although I need to drink more water.  Water, water, water is the word of the day.
 
Hope everyone else had a successful holiday.  If not, do what I'm doing.  FORGET ABOUT IT and move on. 






... and had a hard time getting back on track this morning.
