Happy Easter and Happy Birthday to Me


Happy Easter to y'all!

Today is also my birthday! I am now officially 40.

My "biggest" birthday present was that I discovered that I've been reading the scale wrong (can't see too well first thing in the morning). I've actually lost 20lbs since I started on this diet two months ago! So I'm pigging out today. That makes sense right?!

Anywaaay... only 50lbs to go!
Edited to add: Umm not sure what happened, but I'm back where I thought I was. *sigh* Either I gained 10lbs since yesterday (I didn't think I ate that much!), someone messed with the scale, or it was God's idea of a birthday present). Oh well.

That's not you right? Your daughter maybe?
Are you trying to trick us????

What a happy surprise from the scale. You look great.

Happy birthday, Mary! You look fabulous!

Scale trick was probably a one day set-back due to eating more salt than usual on your birthday/Easter. Get back to the diet today and you'll have it under control in no time. Plus, I wish I looked as "bad" as you do, you gorgeous thing!

Happy Birthday.
