I was surprised that my Halloween weekend sinnin' didn't show up on the scales this morning. On the positive side, I did not eat one piece of candy out of the treat bowl. I remember having the fleeting desire for a Kit Kat or mini-M&M's, but I told myself that bowl was off-limits PERIOD. I decided every piece (and I bet we had 15 pounds of treats) would be given away, and that was easy because our neighborhood turns into a carnival with people from all over the city driving here to TOT.
On the down side, I drank a half-bottle of wine when our company came over. But it was a fabulous organic white from Preston Winery in Sonoma. The weird thing is, I didn't have even a hint of hangover. Don't know if it's because the wine was of such high quality or maybe my liver is working better.
On the up side, I worked hard all day, cleaning and prepping for our company, so I worked up a good sweat and didn't have time to eat much early in the day.
On the down side, by the time our company got here, I was ravenous. I ate many small pieces of cheese, 3 or 4 crackers (which I pretty much had given up (up to this point), and only 1 average bowl of chili, BUT I ate two pieces of pumpkin pie. Mr Coco makes the best pie on earth. I know I should not have eaten one, much less two pieces. But if I put this in perspective, last year I would've eaten half a pie by noon today. So, I can see an improvement. But still, why couldn't I apply my Treat Bowl Rules to the pie? I should've told myself over and over, Just One Piece.
This was almost like a practice run for the dieting horror that will be Thanksgiving. I just need to eat smart on the non-holidays that comprise the majority of our calendar and forgive myself for these few holiday lapses.
