Scary Halloween Stuff

It’s scary thinking about what Halloween candy can do to your food plan.
It takes about 20 minutes of moderate activity to burn off one mini candy bar, but you don’t need to deny yourself a few treats. Make a trade with another food item, or put in your 20 minutes first and “buy” that treat. You may even find that after you get your HR and energy up you are less interested. In that case, “bank” the extra calories burned for later.
Delegate passing out treats to somebody else, if you can’t then don’t buy your personal favorite. For instance gum or lollipops are way less tempting to me than Kit-Kats or Milky Ways.
Maybe have a bowl of popcorn handy and something to sip on, drinks flavored with cinnamon can take the edge of cravings, so maybe try some hot or cold flavored tea.
Or turn off your porch light and go for a walk or run somewhere that has an interesting concentration of decorations and costumes

Remember everybody blows it on occasion. It’s really counter productive to beat yourself up about it, you are a human not a machine.

Tomorrow is a new day!
(And there’s a whole 3 weeks until Thanksgiving!)

Boo! :-)
