Exploring the other side of the rainbow

so much for my South Beach attempt…

my QT friend recomended the South Beach diet to me….I bought the big blue book and I did my best to stick with for the last week and a half. I had to take a little break from the diet and my lent promise to avoid meat this weekend….since the family we stayed with in western PA - were carniovres and carb-addicts…well, I didn’t want to be a burden in face of all the meals they had planned for us. Ribs, potatoes, bread, lot’s of bread, pancakes, pot roast…good stuff.

So, I got back on the diet on Tuesday….and then I came down with something wicked in my throat last night. My head felt like it was going to explode and I had hot and cold chills…sheesh. It started snowing this morning. Mark drove me to the newsroom…what a sweetie! Thank you Mark! We stopped at Au Bon Pain for coffee. I knew I needed some breakfast since I’m heading to Arlington this morning for a shoot. So, I broke the diet rule and got a cheese bagel for breakfast….
