Let Me Eat Cake -- NOT!

Today is my birthday.  It will be my second birthday with having a birthday cake.  I absolutely loved birthday cake.  I would buy a birthday cake even when it wasn't my birthday.  Then I discovered a place that sold birthday cake slice! Now, that was a great gift....NOT! 

I am on vacation visiting a friend.  I spent my birthday here two years ago and I one of my last "great" binges.  I ate a whole birthday cake.  I had just joined OA so it took me about three days to eat the cake instead of inhaling the entire thing in a day or two.  Anyhow, a month later I was blessed with the gift of abstinence.

So, today for my birthday I am going for a jog.  My initial goal for myself was to be able to job one mile nonstop by my 50th birthday.  I know I can comfortably run one mile so today I'm going to try to go for 2.5 miles.  Happy Birthday to me!
