Hint for today - Don't even think of buying that Halloween candy until the day of. I used to buy it early because it was "on sale". Yeah right. I would sometimes have to buy it 3 times because I would eat a whole bag.

I am sure none of you have ever done that! ;)

I don't get any treaters anymore. So if I would possibly get one, I will just give them one of my husband's lunch snack cakes or crackers.

Not in the house, can't eat it.

    This will be the first in over 20 years I will not be home to pass out candy and I usually dress up too. We have gone
    from over 300 kids down to 25 last year. My hubby will be closing down the family cottage that weekend so he won't
    be home either. I will at a Yoga retreat with my daughter.

    We don't get many kids at all, and we live at the end of a dark cul-du-sac. So every year I hand out full sized chocolate bars and cans of pop. It's a lot harder to justify a full chocolate bar than it is to justify a fun sized one. And yet every year. . . lol!

    Yes. Like this idea.

    I sometimes want something crunchy with my lunch and I can't find a potato chip (even baked) that doesn't have way too many calories. So my grands were eating Pirates Booty corn puffs and I tasted of them. I now buy them in the small 1/2 oz (65 cal) pkgs which are just the perfect thing for crunch and portion control.

    Also, needed more protein in my diet and I have started eating low-fat cottage cheese with canned peaches in fruit juice. Great protein with a hint of sweet. Forgot how much I love cottage cheese with fruit.
