Yesterday we spend the day at a birthday party for the sweetest little 6 year old girl. I was excited about going because this was an opportunity for me to buy a "girly" present. I however did not buy PINK..I know shocking right? I instead bought the cutest little summer dress in blue, white and yellow, I wish they made my size, it was THAT cute :-)
We were invited to a community hall about an hours drive away from our house, but well worth the drive. I really wasn't sure what to expect but was very excited when we got there and realized it was a gymnastics studio. To my delight there were even trampolines that I was immediately drawn to.
Here's the evidence, sorry about the photo quality, I actually forgot my camera at home, I never do that!
This is me bouncing around, I worked up quite the sweat on that thing! Then it was time for lunch. We were having hot dogs, after all it is a kids party :-). I had one hot dog and alot of veggies with a little squirt of ranch dip. I didn't however have even one chip, there we so many different kinds, all looked so good. But I knew if I had one I wouldn't be able to walk away. Instead I ate my hotdog very slowly and mindfully (I love you Beck) and pretended my baby carrots were Cheetos :-). In all seriousness I did eat slowly and then when I was done I put my plate in the garbage and removed myself from temptation. I walked away from the table, down the hall and continued on with my bouncing :-)
To me this is a huge success!
Today I plan to clean out my pantry and fridge, do some meal planning and try to find a few new reciepes ...more on that tomorrow!
We have a stat holiday here so I have both boys home, gotta run :-)

What a wonderful day...of jumping!! ;) And way to go with eating and then just walking away!!
PS I enjoyed your v-day post...even tho i'm a day late!! :)
Good choices at the party! Eat carrots - think cheetos...good idea!!!
Sounds like a fun time was had by all!
How much fun was that!! :) Great choice at the party! Well done!
oh that looks like fun! :)
What a great idea for a party. I'm impressed by your eating and walking away when finished. But especially that you ate s-l-o-w-l-y and mindfully. I need to start reapplying those two things more.
Ooooh that looks so fun! I miss trampolines from my gymnastics days. Guess I just need to find a kid somewhere and make them have a gymnastics party! :)
Great job avoiding that temptation!!!!
Awesome job Syl! You should be SO proud of yourself- I love moments like that where you can choose to either feel deprived or empowered!
I love jumping on the trampoline as well..it burns so many calories...my HR shoots right up, I even asked for a home indoor one as it works so well...the only problem is if I go to wild my bladder gives in...
Good on staying away from the temptations.
You got a BlackBerry??
We must hook up via instant chat
That looks like you had such a fun time!! Good for you on enjoying the day!!
I love that picture :) it's great!
You did great at the party by stepping away from the food and just eat a bit. I'm proud of you!
Great job at that party! Making the best choice of limited options instead of throwing in the towel and treating it like an exception meal is a very strong accomplishment.
I think it is so tough at kids party's! I know I had a valentines Party here this morning for my girl's and I cut the hot dog in half and then put so many fruit and veggies on my plate and bet all the kids I could not eat them! I was so stuffed when I was done eating all of them I could only eat half the hot dog!! Great job, and I love that you pretended that the carrots were cheetos I will have to do that next time!
That's so awesome Syl! You did fantastic. You're such an inspiration. I have the hardest time avoiding the chips!
Looks like fun! :)
You guys get a holiday too! Boohooo, no fair. :( BC sucks!!!
I absolutely LOVE trampolines. We have one dug into the ground in the back yard. The first one we got was bought for me, not the kids. That's how much I love it.
You look so cute on the trampoline!
Congrats on handling the party so well.
Yay for making smart food choices when so much "bad" stuff was right there! lol We are having my son's 4th bday party at a gymnastics joint nearby and I am so excited about bouncing around with him and all his little friends!!
