Oh yes, you read that correctly. Bottomless Mimosas. Thankfully I am not<\/strong> able to partake in “bottomless” oy vey. I did over-indulge though.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOn Sunday morning I woke up a little earlier than normal, had some oatmeal and went to the pool to get in my swim. I had a good swim and enjoyed having the pool pretty much to myself. I felt a little sore from yesterday’s workout too.<\/p>\n

After that I met my good friend Erika at Madison’s Grill<\/a> for brunch. I’ve been there a few times before and one of those times was for Erika’s wedding reception. The food is good and I’ve never had a bad experience there. I wasn’t expecting it to be so crowded on a Sunday morning. We got there and there was about a 30 minute wait; the place was packed. I think the reason it was co crowded was the “Bottomless Mimosa” offered on their brunch menu. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We finally got seated and after much internal debate (because I was starving and everything looked good) I ordered the Breakfast Sandwich.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nA sandwich with scrambled egg, sausage, caramelized onion and Havarti cheese. Oh. My. God. This sandwich will live on in my memory and make my mouth water. It was awesome. The caramelized onion made me think of French Onion Soup. It was delicious!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMy sandwich came with a bowl of fresh fruit. I ate every last morsel on my plate and loved every second of it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd of course, we got Mimosas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI cannot remember the last time I’ve had a Mimosa. It has to have been at least 6+ years. I honestly had no idea it would arrive in a pint glass<\/em> either. I had imagined it would be in a champagne flute. So imagine my surprise at the idea of drinking all of it! Of course I was hungry, and having a great time with my friend so the drink went down easily.<\/p>\n

Erika ordered the blueberry pancakes and she kindly let me have a few bites. It was pretty amazing! I think if I had ordered the pancakes I’d be in a carb coma the rest of the day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThey were also HUGE! When the menu said “2 pancakes” we both thought “two is a good size–not too much”. Haha jokes on us! Okay I had one more Mimosa. In my defense when am I ever<\/em> going to have a Mimosa again? AND we were at the restaurant for over 3 hours.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nNo more Bottomless! We had a great time chatting and catching up. It was a nice way to spend a lazy Sunday. Since I don’t normally drink in the middle of the day the Mimosas kinda knocked me on my butt. I see a nap in my near future. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I had a weekend of over-indulging in every possible way. I’m a bit disappointed with myself and my lack of willpower. I know that I don’t need to go over my calories every day of a weekend. Could I have said no to a lot of the things I indulged in? Yes. For sure. Did I do it anyway? Yep. But there’s nothing achieved by beating myself up over slip-ups. Working out more isn’t\u00a0 the answer. Denying myself ALL treats isn’t the answer. Tomorrow is a new day. A new day for healthier choices.<\/p>\n
