One week left

We are down to the final week and I am entering it with mixed emotions.  I'm glad it's almost done, but I am scared to see if I stay as focused after the challenge. I'm hoping that I can, as I have a goal weight in mind that will take a few more months to get to.

So far I'm down a total of 18.2 pounds since the challenge started.  I'm hoping to lose 20 pounds by the end of the challenge, but not sure I'll make it.  I'm actually up a little today so who knows. Either way it will be close!

Final Countdown to Halloween

Image
We are less than a week away from HALLOWEEN!  Do you have your costumes ready and your pumpkins picked out?  The countdown is on for the big trick-or-treat night. Fall Health Focus : Who doesn't love Halloween candy?  Just be mindful of how much you nibble on as the calories in candy can add up quickly.  Halloween does only come once a year so definitely have a few treats. However, if you are watching calories check out this guide to help you figure out your calorie intake. Fall Family Fun : There are so many fun things you can do this week with the family.  Have a Halloween movie night with the family.  Make a popcorn bar with popcorn and different kinds of candy for the movie.  Another great activity this week is carving pumpkins.  Get those pumpkins looking extra spooky and don't forget to roast your pumpkin seeds for a yummy treat.     Fall for Foodies :  This weekend my son and I made monster cookies.  They are...
