So far....no Halloween Candy!!

It is Oct. 30th and so far, not a single piece of Halloween candy has made its way across my lips. Considering how much I love chocolate, that is no small feat. A week ago hubby and I bought way too much candy for the Halloween party my kids are having tomorrow night, but it was put up along with the decorations and has not been opened and will not be opened until tomorrow. My parents bought each of the girls a bag of candy of their choice for Halloween and gave it to them on Tuesday, Jessica got York Peppermint Patties which I can easily stay away from since mint isn't my fav candy. Kayla got Kit Kats...yum. Still not my favorites but I do like the little boogers anyway. Both bags have been in the kitchen open since that evening, something I see every time I walk into the kitchen, but so far, haven't had any of it. Tomorrow night could be a different story. Way too much junk food is planned...pizza, chips, lots of candy, coffin full of gummy body parts, cookie cake with gummy severed feet and eyeballs, kitty litter cake, and a skull with rice krispy "brains" inside. The teens will love it, not so sure how my diet will enjoy it. I have weigh-in next week so while I would normally splurge on the occasion, I know I must watch my step very carefully as I don't want to post a gain. I love pizza, but considering how nutritionally horrible it can be, partaking of it right before weigh-in is probably not such a good idea. I may make myself a sweet dumpling squash and eat before the party starts...the more I think of it, thats probably a really good idea. It'll fill me up but yet is so low calorie that if I have a little dessert at the party, I'm still on track. Maybe I'll take some baby carrots to the party as well to nibble on instead of those darn chips that seem to call out to me. Hopefully all the activity of cooking and decorating and running around buying last minute stuff tomorrow will give me plenty of exercise to help as well. My oldest daughter and I have already planned a 5 mile walk for Saturday morning so that'll help too. Now we just have to make hubby and my youngest daughter get up to join us. Hope ya'll have a wonderful Halloween and remember, enjoy the Halloween treats but do so in moderation!
