I had a piece of b-day cake, so I mowed the yard

[mjlanham2]

With my husband gone in the military the kids have to pick up some of the slack around our house - mowing the yard being one of them. It's my daughter's 13th b-day today so I baked her a cake and couldn't help myself. I had one piece - a big piece- and I felt big and bloated. So instead of the kids mowing today, I decided too. It's 104 degrees here in Oklahoma and I about died, but I kept moving (we have a big yard) and I did it. I really don't think cake is worth all of that!!!!!

I actually like to mow the lawn. My husband thinks that's strange. At least you reacted to the cheat with exercise. Tomorrow is another day, and hopefully the cake won't be in the house anymore.

Well hey, we don't need anyone keeling over on us here.... so quit eating that cake!!! Sugar is the devil!!!

Glad to hear you took it out with exercise, that's a good thing! We're not all perfect all of the time, so don't beat yourself up over it. Besides, how many birthday cakes do you get to do anyway?

You did good though. Exercise is our best friend!!!! Keep it up!!!!
