My oldest son's birthday!

Today my oldest son turns 18!  Wow I never thought I would be one to say this but time has sure flown by fast.  I remember my mom always telling me growing up that I was growing up to fast and I just thought that was something the old people would say.  Well it's true!  It doesn't seem like 18 years have gone by already!  So we went out to dinner this past weekend to celebrate his birthday.  A famous japanese steak house where the portions sizes are more for like 10 people rather than 1.  So no dieting that night but you know what I thought to myself?  Celebrations and special events are gonna happen in life and it's ok to splurg on what you eat every once in a while.  As long as I don't do it everyday and I'm aware of it, it's all gonna be ok.  So I enjoyed my meal along with a piece of birthday cake from my favorite bakery here in town.  I felt a little guilty afterwards but it didn't last long!  Now back to my everyday routine.  Happy Birthday son!
