Thanks for everyones birthday wishes on my previous post!! 
I hope you enjoyed seeing photos of my past birthday cakes. It was fun compiling them all for the post!
Breakfast
So, I’ve been enjoying the hotel’s amenities on my birthday. I started my morning with breakfast in bed with my hubby. We liked ordering room service for his birthday so much, we decided to do it again for mine. Breakfast in bed definitely makes a birthday a little more special! 😉
I had two eggs over easy with homefries and a blueberry muffin.
And, of course, coffee.
Workout
After breakfast, I got ready to exercise in the hotel gym. Unfortunately, I forgot my sneakers! 😯 Luckily, Mal brought his, so I borrowed them. I looked ridiculous with huge sneakers on my feet, but they actually worked pretty well. Once I started running, I didn’t even notice how big they were on my feet. I just tied them really tight!
At the gym, I ran almost 4 miles on the treadmill followed by 30 minutes on the elliptical. I alternated between 15 minutes on the treadmill and 15 minutes on the elliptical for a 60-minutes workout. I finished up with about 10 minutes of stretching and then hit the pool to work on my tan.
Lunch
For lunch, I enjoyed my pug cookie and an iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts. Obviously, this “meal” was not nutritious at all, but, hey, it’s my birthday. Cookies and coffee are totally acceptable! 😉
The wedding is just an hour away, so I need to get ready! I’m so excited!!!

everyone deserves a big pug cookie on their bday! Enjoy! :D:D
What a nice hotel! Can’t believe you ran in your husband’s sneakers. LOL I can’t even walk in my husband’s. I wear an 8.5 women’s and he wears a 14 men’s.
Happy Happy Birthday Tina! Looks like it’s off to a delicious start!
Sounds like a great way to start your big day! I hope the rest of it is wonderful :).
Happy Birthday! have so much fun at the wedding!

If you can’t have pug cakes on your birthday, when can you!? You did the right thing!
That pug cookies looks really yummy…and sounds like a perfect lunch to me 🙂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! You deserve that pug cookie! 🙂
Happy Birthday, Tina! Have the best day! Doesn’t get much better, birthday and a wedding. 🙂
Happy Birthday Tina!
Happy birthday!! And have a great time at the wedding!
Happy Birthday!!!!
Nothing in the world says “happy birthday to me” like having a day when you eat to suit your fancy, and not necessarily your optimal diet. I often play the game “if life were consequence free, what would I eat until the cows came home?” and I like to spend my birthday putting the theory into practice just a bit… 🙂 May you have a day of hedonism and a happy birthday, too!
It’s your birthday and you’ll do what you want to! Cookies are perfect for lunch, cake’s for dinner 😉
Birthdays are all about doing what you want! Loving the pug cookie, so cool! Can’t believe you did a workout though, I would so use my bday as an excuse not to.
That totally cracks me up that you wore Mal’s shoes! How much bigger are his feet than yours? There is no way I could do that with my husband. I wear a size 5 1/2 and my husband wears a size 12. No way…
i’m at a hotel now too! i have not taken advantage of the gym though…
Haha, I love that you wore your husbands shoes! I can actually fit my shoes inside my brother’s shoes, lol.
Good for you for finding a way to make it work and for getting in a workout today. It probably felt like a good way to start the day. Have fun tonight.
Haha, that’s really funny that you ran in Mal’s shoes.
Happy birthday!!! I hope you’re having a wonderful birthday!
Happy birthday! 🙂
Looks like a wonderful time.

Oh, I certainly hope my hotel’s amenities are as awesome as yours! Happy birthday! Those sneakers are such a fun color to boot!
I completely believe that birthday’s shouldn’t have any nutritional value at all.
I think it should be guilt free.
Enjoy the wedding!
Happy birthday once again
I have to say those are very cute shoes! Have a great time at the wedding birthday girl!
Your day wouldn’t be complete if your didn’t hear from your mother on your birthday!! Happy Birthday Christine!! Wow. 30 years! Is that as hard for you to believe as it is for me? Looks like you’re having plenty of birthday/ wedding fun! Enjoy the rest of the night. Love, Mom
Happy Birthday!! It looks like a happy birthday, indeed! 🙂
A pug cookie is definitely an acceptable lunch on one’s birthday 😉
Happy Birthday!
There is no way I could work out in my husband’s shoes. His feet are WAY bigger than mine.
Hope you had a completely fantastic day!
I’m so late, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Looks like you are off to a good day so far 🙂 Have a fabulous time at the wedding.

Hey, if you can’t have a gigantic pug cookie for lunch on your birthday, when CAN you have it? Happy birthday again! I hope you’re having a great day 🙂
Wei-Wei
Yay! Breakfast in bed and a cookie lunch? Best. Birthday. Ever. Particularly as you’ll surely be getting wedding cake tonight, too. Woot!
LOL I love the shoes! My husband’s feet are about double the size of mine, total clown shoes on my feet! Glad you’re having a great birthday weekend!
happy birthday!!! I love your nail polish color!
That’s so funny that you could wear Mal’s shoes comfortably! Happy Birthday Tina!!
Haha…love the shoes!
And I love that you ordered breakfast in bed. That seems like it should be a MUST on a birthday. What a great idea. 😀
A pug cookie sounds like the PERFECT birthday lunch. You can do whatever you want on your birthday! Hope you had a great time at the wedding!
what a fun way to start the day!
You are hilarious! I love your determination to get in your workout despite forgetting your shoes. Looks like a great way to start your new year.
I made a really tasty and healthy carrot cake yesterday. I think you’d be interested!
Happy Birthday Tina!
My boyfriend wears a size 12 sneaker. If I tried to run in his shoes, I’d definitely fly out of them and land on my face. (I’m wear a size 8) haha. I love working out while I’m away from home! When we went to Boston last summer, we walked everywhere and climbed the Bunker Hill Monument. That was my workout for the trip.
And BTW, I think it’s awesome that you ate a cookie for lunch on your birthday. You deserve it!
I love that you wore the hub’s shoes to workout…hehe. 🙂 Also love your birthday wish from your mom on this post!! Have fun!
hi…i love the color of your nails…:)
mal’s shoes is pink? cool! 🙂
I’m so impressed that you ran despite forgetting your shoes – I would have taken that as a sign to take the day off. Good for you!
Cookies and coffee are often my lunch – or breakfast – of choice. Sometimes you just need caffeine and sugar to balance all those veggies…
