Birthday festivities continued…

 

Hey collegiettes™!

So I know you are all anxious to hear how my birthday festivities went, so here it goes:

First of all the party was really fun! After being stuck in the library for the last week, it was so wonderful to have some quality time with my favorite girls! Two of my friends even bought me all of the ingredients to make lemon drop martinis! Yes I know my friends are the best.

As I mentioned yesterday, I was so impressed (and touched) that my friends went out of their way to bring some healthy foods to party. We had tons of fruit, cheese and crackers, hummus and pita chips, carrots and salad. I made sure to fill up early on the fruits and veggies so I would stay away from the chips.

Though I did have a piece of cake and I know the martinis are not exactly light, but I am happy that it was not one of those nights that you regret and dwell on all through the next day. I know I made and conscious effort not to throw everything the SELF Jump Start Diet has taught me out the window and I didn’t!

I would love to hear how your strategies for overcoming temptation…especially on a day when all you really want to do is pig out!
