My baby boy is 15 today

Happy Birthday to my baby boy.  He is 15 today...wow, where did the time go? While MIL was here, she bought him his birthday presents, so hubby and I didn't go overboard with presents. Well, since today is his birthday, I went to the gym not long after I woke up. I only did cardio today, and knowing this was going to be a high calorie day, I wanted to burn some calories before I started eating.

Today at the gym, I did 40 minute on what is called a cybex arc machine. It is a cross between an elptical machine and a stepper. I also did intervals today, so my legs are exteremly tired.

After the 40 minutes on the arc, I did a walk/run for 15 minutes.

So for baby boys birthday (he will always be baby boy, no matter how old, or how tall), we ordered sausage from Black's Barbeque in Lockhart, Texas. We are origianlly from Texas and my kids love barbecue. Baby boy loves sausage and baby girl loves ribs. With all this AWESOME food, it is no wonder I have problems keeping the weight off. So, along with with sausage, we had beans (which will be GREAT as leftovers) and home made mac-n-cheese. My calories for is meal was over 600 (according to myfitnesspal)! After that great meal, we had chocolate cake, with chocoalate frosting (which helped the calories jump to over 600.) I included a picture of the cake, baby girl wanted to put candles in the shape of number 15 and ended up using 16 candles. When Baby boy originally saw the cake, he complained about the number of candles is more than his age, so I told baby girl to finish adding all the candles we had. :-) The real fire will happen if we try to light all hubby's candles (he will be 40).

So after all that wonderful food, I think I need to work out again, but to be honest, all I really want to do is take a nap. :-)

So tomorrow, baby girl will be making cupcakes for hubby's birthday (which is Tuesday...another high calorie day).& I will be happy when the birthdays are over.
