Made it through Halloween w/out a chocolate binge

Nov 02, 2014

Had a mini treat of candy corn a couple of nights & ate a few tootsie pops; those things are 60 calories each though so I would think to myself okay you have to work out for said amount of time just to burn this off so I didn't fall off the wagon.  Some folks hate candy corn but I grew up having that at Halloween along with dum dum pops and those black & orange wrapped peanut butter chewy kiss things...don't know exactly what they are but lots of folks hate em but I don't cause they remind me of my childhood.  Halloween is one of my very favorite holidays, not because of the candy but all the spooky decorations, jack-o-lanterns, scary movies & costumes.  I had planned to dress up this year but I didn't.  By the time I buy my daughters costume & accessories each year cash is strapped and I don't want to find the extra money for my own costume.  I do wish I had of dressed up though even though I am 40 it would've still been fun.  Took my daughter & her friend for tricks-or-treats in a big subdivision then to a couple of churches.  They had a blast & I had fun walking around looking at all the decorations & cute kids-the walking around is a huge NSV because last year with swollen feet and ankels I actually skipped taking my daughter...so NSV on the walking.  Halloween was fun & I haven't raided my daughters candy.  I don't have any desire for any of it because it's just wasted calories, wow this thought coming from the gal who once made herself sick off of chocolate one year after Halloween.  This new life is good. 

Weight coming off slowly now and currently at 198; doing everything as usual with exercise & food journaling to make sure I stay on the right path.  Trying to be patient because looking back the weight has come off quickly up til this point so I'm trying to take this stall out with stride.
