If you're like me, you totally blew your diet on the weekend and didn't get all your workouts in.

And if you're exactly like me, "blowing your diet" meant indulging in pineapple upside-down cake, bacon and a couple of pints (not all in one sitting, though).

While it's tempting to think you're a failure and quit the process all together, why not just relax, recommit and try to do better today?

Start by checking out the Week Two Boot Camp Fitness Video and the Day Seven Bikini Boot Camp Menu.

Did you blow your diet this weekend? Did working out slip your mind? Post a reply and let us know how your weekend went and how you're recommitting to Bikini Boot Camp today.

Delicious. Who knew?

Do you have any idea how delicious fruit is?

I really had no idea. I picked up some pre-washed, pre-cut strawberries, pineapple and kiwi on a whim at the grocery store the other day and I was blown away by how much I enjoyed it.

I snacked on it while I made dinner last night (Quick Fisherman's Stew) and it kept my hands and mouth too busy for me to bother pouring myself a glass of wine. No small feat.

And while I suddenly find fruit to be a surprisingly tasty snack, I still can't accept the idea of having it for dessert. Even fruity pies are suspect. I am unwavering in my belief that dessert should be chocolaty (and preferably gooey).

So you can imaging my delight when I came across a Chocolate Fondue recipe this afternoon. It meets all the criteria for an indulgent little weekend reward: It's chocolaty! It's gooey! It includes my new BFF, fruit! And you can spike it with amaretto, brandy or rum!

Each tablespoon has 64 calories, 6 grams of fat, 4 grams of carbs and a gram of fibre, which makes it a reasonable weekend treat to reward another successful week of healthy living with Boot Camp.

How will you reward yourself this weekend?
