weekend...

somehow life got extremely busy all of a sudden. but, i'm not complaining, because it kept me away from the cupboard!

i managed to make it through the weekend with 25 flex points in tact.(!) and the weekend included homemade gingerbread belgian waffles with ice cream and pears (yumm!)...and late night bulgogi (?) korean spicy beef and rice. somehow, i kept snacking to a minimum...i think working all night friday, then being out of the house all day saturday and having friends over on sunday is the magic answer to my usual weekend problems...the bro and his brownies returned, but i'm actually getting sick of them, so i only had a little taste (which i did count).

but...this week is the "birthday week"...i know we're going out somewhere really good and i will definitely need all of those flex points...hopefully there won't be any cake(s). last year a friend brought over a huge carrot cake w/ cream cheese frosting (my favorite! ok, actually all cake is my favorite...)...and i think i gained like 20 lbs because i pretty much ate the whole thing in about a week. and that was in addition to the chocolate cake that my brother made. yikes. that was bad. no cake(s) in the house this year...
