Not my finest weekend.

Baby showers are so much fun, and even more fun when you help plan them!  A friend of mine is having a little girl (she is due in 2 weeks) and we are so excited for her!  We decided to throw her a shower and celebrate this mommy becoming a mommy for the second time.

And what shower would be complete without yummy food?!  I spent 3 days slowly making some amazing food.

Cucumber sandwiches.
Mini BLT's.
Chocolate chip cookies.
Sugar cookies.
Peanut Butter cookies.
Lady fingers with sweetened cream cheese and raspberry jelly.
Chocolate cups with vanilla pudding.
Meringues.
Hershey Kiss Pies.
Chocolate stuffed strawberries.

And that is just what I made!  Check out this spread!

(teas, lemonade, veggies, and salad)

(that is spinach-artichoke dip in the front... to die for!)

(A friend made this cute cupcake cake...  oh so pretty and tastes even better!)

Ugh....  it was so good....  I couldn't help but try everything - at least once.  Oh, how my taste buds went crazy!  MMMmMMmmmMMMMmm......

But I know I didn't do well.  Taste testing everything over the weekend and then eating today.  I feel guilty.

But tomorrow starts a new challenge, one with rewards.  Time to loose those 2 pounds I gained this weekend.

And I was doing so well!!  I am down almost 10 pounds since the start of July.  And even my dad, after watching a video I sent to them with me and my kids, said I look slimmer.  As we all know, the camera adds 10 pounds.  So to have him say that means that what I see in the mirror is what others are starting to see as well.

The plan for tomorrow?  Running in the morning, Power 90 in the afternoon.  Back to eating healthy.  Giving all the extra sweeties to the neighborhood kids.  

Tomorrow is another day!
