Springy Journal - Joy

Well, today is my birthday...I´ve turned 51 young years!!! As a life long tradition, we eat at my Mom and Dad´s house and she makes home-made strawberry shortcake (so blessed to have been born in March - strawberry season in Spain : ) . I usually have 2 servings with 2 large biscuits in each serving, strawberries and fresh whipped cream.
Well, since this year I am on my fitness journey (for life!!) I decided to cut the biscuits in half and add more strawberries and less whipped cream. So I had 2 servings but only 2 biscuits instead of 4. Delicious, not stuffed and cut back on the calories big time. Yeah for the new birthday tradition I´ve started today.
Tomorrow it will be back to serious fitness as usual.
Love,
Joy

I'm so glad that you were able to continue your birthday tradition, yet start a new with lower calories. We had strawberries today too, but no shortcake or whipped cream. The berries were delicious! :-) Happy Birthday! :-)

Love, Kathryn :-)

Awesome job, Joy! Happy Birthday!!

Strawberries are a great great food choice. I noticed when i had them without sugar (sugar substite stevia instead) with a sugar free cookie, I actually lost weight! They are incredible. Sweet yet healthy!!

Now I want some strawberries! jeje

Big Birthday hugs,
