Ok who had some Halloween Candy LOL
I have to admit I am pretty stoked at how I handled my first halloween since getting real about my health and eating.
I ate:
2 Snack sized Kit-Kat bars
1 Snack sized M&M's
1 Snack sized Hershey's
That's it, and that is the truth. It is also the only actual candy I've eaten in over four months...
How did everyone else do?

I bought goldfish crackers for the kids. My husband thinks we'll be egged for it, but not even one piece of candy for me this Halloween.0

Hey kids love goldfish, hell I do too!
Good for you passing on the sweets too!0 -
1 Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
1 Banana Laffy Taffy
And they tasted good!0 -
Nothing yet...0

So far I have resisted and told the hubby to hide the bucket! Lol0

I bought a fair amount of candy, and we only had 15 children come to the door tonight. I have 3 teenagers and a husband who will eat the candy.
I did have some, but stayed UNDER my calorie goal for the day.
I had:
2 Milky Way fun size bars
1 Crunch fun size bar
1 Butterfinger fun size bar
and 1 Dum Dum (had this when my blood sugar dropped post-workout this afternoon and I was stumbling around)0 -

That Banana Laffy Taffy is awesome stuff!0 -
I've been enjoying a Twix mini and a Kit Kat mini every evening for about 2 months now. I don't deprive myself of anything or I would fail miserably. We don't get trick-or-treaters where we live so Halloween is just another day for us.0
-
I ate 1 funsize Peanut M&M's and 2 funsize Snickers! That's it for me, I am done- But I made sure to have a great workout today and balance it all out, if that's possible.0

A friend sends me Sees chocolate for every holiday...I had one half of one piece. I did eat a chocolate cupcake from the Hallowe'en party they had at work...I savored every single bit of it too.0

I had my Wife and kids stash all the goods too, no reason to mindlessly reach into that bowl just because it's sitting there!0 -
Unfortunately I caved
But I let the kids choose their favorites and the rest we are donating to the troops.
A win-win: the candy gets out of my house AND the troops will get a treat.0 -
I like how everyone is so happy to have enjoyed the treats in moderation and it looks like most of us probably kept it within our calorie budget. I too had a killer workout today and walked the neighborhood with my wife and kids for over an hour for a little extra cardio...0

1 snack size Reese's peanut butter cup'
1 snack size Snickers
That's it....and my calories are still way under for today in spite of eating decent healthy meals plus the candy.....over on sodium a bit although I have my goal set to 1500 and I didn't NOT go over the maximum limit recommended by the Mayo Clinic (2500) so still way better than I was doing on that than before I started tracking it and realized how out of control that area was! So all in all, pretty happy with today!)

I had two pieces, mini pieces at that.0

I adhere to the no-deprivation mindset as well and find it actually makes it easier to NOT eat things that I am better off without. It's like well if I REALLY want this I can have it as long as it's within my daily calorie budget and most of the time I pass on it...0 -
I had all of 3 reeces pb cups. So I did pretty well I think0
-
6 Hershey's Drops and that's it. Just wasn't feeling the candy love today *lol*
Which is Amazing considering we had Cadbury Scream Eggs this year mixed in with the mini candy bars .. who knows what tomorrow will be like though, we have a LOT of candy left. Only nine tricker o'treaters knocked on the door this year.0 -
I did -__- six pieces, and a cupcake. Ugh. Oh well, can't win them all.0
-
I thought Halloween candy didn't have calories. Darn! I had 2 reese's pb cups, a fun size twix, a mini kit kat, and 2 fun size almond joys.
I logged it and still stayed with my calorie range. Gonna work it off tomorrow0 -

Thanks for thinking of us. We like our candy. Unfortunately it is usually pretty nasty/melted by the time it sits in containers in 120 degree heat. Still a good treat though!0 -
I had a 50 cal pack of Swedish fish~
I don't have a sweet tooth so that is enough for me for a loooOOOOong time haha0 -
No candy this time. I had pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting instead. I was well within my calories, so it was no problem for me to also eat some pizza, too. I ran out of calories, so I'm saving the candy for tomorrow. I will be having skittles, starburst, and sour gummy lifesavers.0
-
Yes, plus hot apple cider and roasted pumpkin seeds. My son and husband are taking most of the leftover candy to school/work.0
-
No candies for me yet. I plan on getting a candy bar at some point tonight. Or maybe not. The kiddos didn't get to go trick or treating because their dad is sick. Kind of disappointed. But he's been running a fever for a couple of days, and was still horribly drained today. And with my being at work tonight, we really didn't have a choice. So....I plan on going after work to see if there's some discounted candy that I can actually stand at Wal-Mart so the kiddos can at least have a little bit.0
-
Tons. I don't feel so good right now lol0
-
I had some and I'm still under my CALORIC GOAAAAAL!!!!!!!!1110
-
2 reeces pb cups. I love almond joys and mounds. My husband decided not to buy them since I'm the only one that likes them. I also told him this morning I'm just a few pounds away from hitting th 150's. He figured if I REALLY wanted one he would by one for me tomorrow but I think I can skip it this year.0

One package of dark chocolate mint m&m's 210 calories and one 90 calorie sprite. :-)0
