My Not So Low Carb Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday. I spent all week being super good, even though my motto was "carbs don't count on your birthday," b/c I was really excited about splurging on my birthday.

 I started out with breakfast with my sister, Sharyn, at Mary Beth's. (It's a yummy restaurant in downtown Greenville). I had the eggs benedict, my favorite breakfast food. It was incredible. I skipped lunch, since I knew I was going to Bacon Bros Public House for dinner. It's my absolute favorite restaurant in Greenville. I did treat myself to a frappuccino, though. I got a free birthday drink reward. I couldn't pass that up.

Dinner was amazing. I started with the bacon jelly pimento cheese jar paired with homemade saltines. Fantastic!! It's the stuff dreams are made of. For my main dish, I enjoyed a BLT and potato salad. They too were excellent. For dessert, I had fried ice cream.

After dinner, I went to a movie with my friends Colleen and Amanda. During the movie, I snacked on gummy lobsters that Amanda had brought me from Rhode Island. 

By the time I got home that night, I didn't feel so great. I realized that after eating low carb for 6 weeks, eating a bunch of carbs in one day was not as wonderful as I had thought. The food was really good, but I will definitely be sticking to low carb.
