Happy Birthday - Part 1

Sorry for the lack of blogging in the last few days...my hubby and I both celebrated our 30th birthdays this weekend. Our birthday celebrations were a good combination of all-natural and definitely not-so-natural fare. We treated ourselves to many of our favorite foods and overall had a great time. 

The morning started out right (but not so natural!) with Krispy Kremes and a Starbucks hot chocolate. Yummo!

For dinner, my DH made me some of my favorite foods, including Juicy Lucy hamburgers, cheesy hashbrowns and sangria. And for dessert, oatmeal chocolate-chip cookies :) All-natural and oh-so-good! Just goes to prove that clean doesn't = healthy, but again, it's all about moderation!







 
I did manage to find some excellent all-natural salad dressing at Kroger yesterday. It's Marzetti's Simply Dressed and not only is it all-natural, it's also a great price! The dressing was on sale 2 for $5 and I had two $1 off coupons, so they ended up being $1.50 each. Great deal!!

Days 22 and 23--Falling off the Bandwagon

Day 22
This weekend we went to visit our dear friends, Joe and Kathy, and also see our other dear friends, Chad and Sarah. This was my first big weekend away while clean eating and I pretty much failed horribly. I am trying not to feel too guilty about it though, because I adhere to the 80/20 rule and up to this point I've been doing better than 80 percent, so one weekend won't ruin too much. I hate to admit it though, but eating like crap this weekend I feel like crap tonight...just goes to prove once again that what we put in our bodies matters!
