As, most of you know yesterday was my birthday and of course I had my fair share of treats. I am a huge believer of everything in moderation, so that is exactly how I ate yesterday. I might have indulged a little more then usual, but I made sure to eat healthier throughout the rest of my meals and snacks.

Today, I am participating in What I Ate Wednesday. Thanks Jenn.

Post Workout – 6:45am

I had my favorite protein shake. I love having this right after working out. This always holds me over until I can eat breakfast with my girls.

Breakfast – 7:30am

We had Greek yogurt waffles. Yum!!

Snack – 10am

Lunch – 12pm

Lately, I have been loving poached eggs on toasted Italian bread.

Birthday Treat – 1pm

After lunch we enjoyed my grandmas pound. My grandma and brother came over and spent a few hours with us for my birthday. Of course, Grandma brought one my favorite treats. I loved every bite. The girls loved it too. I will get you the recipe ASAP!

Dinner – 5:30pm

Steve stopped home and dropped off some of my favorite cupcakes. I knew I didn’t want to eat a huge dinner, since I wanted to save room for my cupcake. All about balance.

For dinner I had a chicken sausage and a small sweet potato.

Dessert – 6:30pm

Of course, I ate half the peanut butter and chocolate cupcake. I seriously might have eaten the entire thing if Sophia didn’t want the other half. But, that’s okay I will always share with my girls.

As you can see I consciously made healthier choices throughout the rest of the day. I also made sure to eat smaller portions knowing I was going to indulge in treats later on. When I indulge I make sure not to go over board. So, instead of eating an entire cupcake I ate half. That way I was able to still enjoy my favorite treat without feeling uncomfortable.
