You know what's GREAT about the fall season.... PUMPKIN... pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin EVERYTHING... but you know what's bad... the same things I just listed... Everything in moderation is what I keep telling myself :bigsmile: Tell me... what's favorite thing about this season?! and what's your least favorite thing about this season?... I also don't appreciate the fact that its getting colder!

    i LOVE pumpkin stuff! It's so bad yet so good. Pumpkin muffins from dunkin donuts, pumpkin spice lattes and gingerbread lattes from starbucks = my weakness during the fall season. But it's also nice to take a walk to work it off and enjoy the fall scenery. Fall also gives you the chance to buy nice new sweaters and break out the high heeled boots! :smile:

    oh and hockey season just started too! :love:

    I love the fact that it's getting colder! Hate that school has started and kicking my a-s :sad:

    I was excited to see that International Delight's Pumpkin Spice creamer is one of the few that doesn't have HFCS or hydrogenated oils in it. YUM! I add a little cinnamon to the coffee before it brews.

    I need to get some pumpkin and make some whole wheat/lowfat muffins. I won't feel guilty that way then.

    As far as what I don't like, the cold weather makes me want comfort foods and not necessarily the healthy stuff.

    My favorite thing about the season is Halloween night. My least favorite thing is how early it gets dark once the clocks go ahead. :(

    getting a pumpkin spice creme (short, nonfat milk w/o whipped cream) tonight at Starbucks for just 130 cals! You can always enjoy pumpkin stuff...like, make just the filling of pumpkin pie like you would pudding and have it for dessert w/ low fat whipped cream... mmmmm... :D

    I love pumpkin and eggnog food items! I also love that is gets "cold" (in San Antonio, TX it does not really get cold cold but it is not anywhere close to our summers.). I like to feel cozy under the covers and all the Christmas-y feelings!

    Love the cooler weather! Here in NC we can have cool one day & hot the next so I dislike the in between summer & winter clothes thing. I just don't have enough closet or drawer space to have both out at once.

    So I've been trying to layer and not get the winter stuff out yet.

    I live in Florida, so the cooler weather is definitely welcome! Makes running in the morning easier to get myself to do.

    And HALLOWEEN. Loves it. I read fortunes at a party, last year was the first time (and a fluke really, it wasn't quite planned that way I was just a guest) and it went over so well they asked me back. ^_^

    I love this time of year. It's cool, families and friends get together and spend time with each other. We've got one eye on the horizon of the coming next year, and one nostalgic eye on the past year.
