One of our regular customers dropped off a bag of homemade sugar cookies for us to enjoy. I had one.
I also had a small box of Milk Duds that my kid had.
Yesterday, a friend gave me a huge cupcake in celebration of her recent wedding. I inhaled the thing and I felt promptly guilty and vowed to not eat anymore sugar!!
I was not good, not on plan. Some candy, but mainly overdoing meals. Like Halloween is that great of a holiday to go overboard??? No! Oh well, went to the gym and am back on plan.
I did not eat any candy, not a single piece. I did not even contemplate doing so. We had stuffed pumpkins for dinner. I did have a single serving of the baked apples that I made. I used splenda on the apples this year instead of the ton of normal sugar I used to use, but I used some real brown sugar too, so they were still a bit naughty. I also had one slice of the pumpkin pie that my husband made - he used splenda too the darling! I had planned to have these treats and so I had worked out extra hard earlier in the day. My calorie deficit was still over 1000, which is my normal non-holiday or treat day goal. I am so proud of myself.
I was a little tempted when I was checking my kids candy bags, but it passed just as fast, so I did well. Usually I would be attacking their bags for the snickers and baby ruths. I am glad those days are gone.
I had a healthy breakfast, but then spent from 8:30-5pm running around with my charity carnival. So when i got home at 6, i was so tired, I went and got a Chipotle burrito. Which fit into my WW points plan, even if its not super healthy.
the handful of mini-candy bars didn't. I think I had six and a lolipop. So overall, not the best day. But it could have been worse, it has been worse and I got rid of the rest of the candy...so no more.
Not so good although it def could have been worse.
For lunch & dinner I had pizza, although I stayed in my calorie limit. I also had a few pieces of candy on Saturday, yesterday & today I counted cals for everything and have not gone over my limit but although it is so good, it's not worth it! It's just not filling enough to count as a snack.
I did not gain any weight from then (I DID however gain a lb from Friday night when DH & I went on a date and I had 2 handfuls of popcorn at a midnight movie).
I had candy. I didn't go overboard, but I had candy and tracked every bit of it. I think that in itself is an enormous step for myself so I am very proud of myself.
No candy, just a small cup of cinnamon-chocolate ice cream. It didn't bother me since it was portion controlled and I'm pretty sure I burned off the calories, and then some, with the almost 4 hours of walking I did that night.
I am so proud of myself this Halloween. I did not have one single piece of Halloween candy. A first!
What makes this such a big deal for me is that I am responsible for buying the snacks for our work break room and keeping it stocked. For the past few weeks I have bought and kept the large bowl of fun-sized candy bars stocked. So I am touching/seeing these bars daily, including some of my favorites like KitKats and Reese's. I haven't eaten one!
I also put together about a hundred goodie bags full of chocolate to give out to the trick-or-treaters - again, not one single bar or piece of candy did I eat.
although it def could have been worse.
