Lent - Weekend One

I'm officially past the first weekend. For me, weekends are the hardest part. I tend to be a boredom eater - and those snacks tend to be sweet treats.

This weekend I managed to keep myself busy with a variety of things:
Friday:
Happy Hour with some people from school
Watching Anchorman with friends*
Late night karaoke with the above mentioned friends

Saturday:
A dog walk for public service hours
A "social" for a group I belong to*

Sunday:
Long lines for basketball tickets
Yoga
Dinner and a movie with friends*

So what the heck is the asterisk for? Those are events that tested my dessert will power. Friday night it was a stop at the local grocery store for ice cream (which I did not get any of). Saturday night it was a buffet of desserts after dinner. (Again, I did not partake, but I did ask the friend that I attended with to describe the brownie he was consuming. And then he speared the last bite and offered it to me.... very tempting... but I resisted)
Last night doesn't really deserve a whole asterisk, but I got to watch a friend sit and consume amazing looking ice cream straight from the container... and not have any.

I think that every place I go for the next 6 weeks should just serve cheesecake for dessert. I can avoid that without a problem. Or be a morning event so I can have a doughnut for breakfast and not worry about it.

More updates to come.
