We had A LOT going on this weekend. After Little 'Ny's usual Saturday morning gym class we hit the road with my brother-in-law in tow. First stop was my little cousin's college graduation party. I use the term "little cousin" loosely considering she is now a UCLA graduate (geez, I feel old).
I come from a Filipino family, and if you know anything about Filipino family get togethers food is the center of attention. Suprisingly my aunt opted for a Mediteranian theme, so the food was a bit healthier. What was the killer was the Goldilocks cakes and the King's Hawaiian cake. Watching the belly dancer they hired gave me some inspiration for this week to work on my abs!
Sunday was Father's Day which meant a lot of eating. We had brunch at my father-in-law's house. We noshed on delicious fritatas, muffins, turkey/apple/feta sausages, fruit and banana pudding. Little 'Ny had a great time visiting with her cousins -- reading, sticking stickers, watching movies and being silly.
After that we had a sushi dinner at my parents' house. I think Hubs ate his weight in sushi. Even with all that eating I still was able to lose one more pound!
Oh yeah, last week's Donut Friday ... I only at 3/4 of a donut! Pretty proud of myself actually. This Friday I will be taking the day off work, so NO DONUT!
Jewish family gatherings are all about the food too LOL.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've captured the movement of the belly dancer while her face looks so still and serene.
Yup yup, I'm Filipino and I know what you mean...but then, that seems true to most culture too!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!
Congratulations on loosing a pound! Impressive feat considering what you say about the family get togethers and all that cake (yum!)

In all cultures, so much centers around food. Makes it difficult sometimes to eat healthy.
