1.5. February 3 - Dinner with Glen & Colleen (newly engaged!) - 2 ounces of The Naked Grape Cabernet (48 calories), 1 slice Dutch Apple Pie (apples, dripping in delicious sugar only) (100 calories) = 148 calories [I'm only counting this as a half a cheat because it was half has many calories as my first cheat.]
2. February 4 - Earic & Aisha's House - 2 banana-walnut oatmeal chunk cookies & 1 extra fish taco = who knows how many calories, but it can't be that bad!
