Halloween Candy my November 1st reflection.

Why do holidays mean food? I thought a lot about this as halloween approached. Memories of pigging out on candy, saying I'm not eating candy but then eating it. This year I just kept up with my plan eat healthy most of the time. I had a healthy day, except no lunch break at work.  I came home ate a healthy dinner and made halloween about my kids not the candy.  It was a pleasant evening following around my 9 year old while he really got into the trick or treating. When we got home I ate some of the candy, not sure how many pieces. I kept thinking of those memes that let you know just how many burpees you need to do for each milky way. So I didn't keep track, I topped off the night with a bag of cheetos. This morning I woke up tired but it was more the busy day and late night. I got a good two mile run in. That was more about yesterdays stress than candy. A pretty good Piyo class this evening.

Heres my crazy dog. 

All day I was home alone except for my crazy dog. I was busy and didn't even think about the candy.  Tonight I made my family a healthy dinner with fresh ingredients that they enjoyed and we are back to normal. Ya we'll be eating candy for a while, but this year its without guilt, stress or anxiety.  Next up Thanksgiving eating without stuffing myself.

Cooking tonights dinner loved the rainbow on my cutting board.
