48 hours

Well.. the last 48 hours have not been good. Don't get me wrong, I've had a great 2 days and lot's of fun but I have eaten everything in sight. I could start a new blog of everything I ate. I won't list all of the details here but I'll give a brief overview. It all started with my book group on Friday. There were 12 of us and we had a blast. (You can see the link for the book group listed with my blogs.) We meet once a month and discuss the book of the month and bring a dish that goes with the book. Of course that means lots of food. Plus lots of wine. It was all delicious. Then on Saturday I headed to San Jose to visit one of my dearest friends Sasha. (that's Sasha in the photo with me in Vegas 2 yrs ago.) Now Sasha and I have discussed diets, weight loss, body image issues, etc. for years. The funny thing is that we usually do it over some fabulous decadent dinner. We love to find new restaurants and go nuts. She is the only person I know who doesn't flinch when the bill shows up. So as usual, we went to a new place in Los Gatos, Cin Cin wine bar. http://cincinwinebar.com/ The food was delicious but the dessert.... OMG! We had Cheesecake Beignets. Yes, fried doughnuts with cheesecake inside.
Now, if all of that wasn't bad enough, the next morning we met up with another good friend, Tamara, for breakfast. I had 2 eggs, bacon and a WAFFLE. I drove home feeling guilty and determined to do better. But then I walked in the door and there in the kitchen were cupcakes. Yes, Rory, my dog sitter extraordinaire, had made cupcakes for a baby shower. She left a dozen bite size cupcakes for me. Of course I had to try a couple just to make sure they weren't poisonous.
The only bright spot was that I felt so full that I walked the dogs for 2 miles.
Tomorrow is a new day. A new beginning. I need to get rid of those cupcakes!
