Growing up, I was never into Halloween. Only on a few occasions can I even remember doing anything special. Now that I am a mother of boys, everything has changed. Foster especially looks forward to the big day from the time the leaves start changing. He is not in it for the candy. I think he just likes to dress up and pretend to be something he is not. This year, he was a rocker. Jason made the shirt. The headband believe it or not was Jason's from when he was young...thankfully he never wore it while we were dating. Caleb was our little Tiger Woods. We didn't let him carry the golf club. Believe me, he doesn't need a weapon. He wasn't so sure about going to people's houses, especially if they had decorations. He did like the chocolate. That has since become one of his favorite words to say, "Cwocwhit, pweeeze".
There is something about having a basket overflowing with candy in the house. I feel like it is my responsibility to solve the problem of having so much around. It is hard on the waistline and also created a habit of going for sweets after every meal. I started back on Weight Watchers today and it feels good to have discipline in my life again. It is just one day at a time...one decision at a time to have self control. Even thought I lost 25 lbs on the program at the beginning of this year, I still fell short of my ultimate weight goal.
I am kicking it in gear for the next month or so. I would love to reach my goal by the end of the year. Thankfully, the candy is almost gone and Halloween only comes around once a year! Now, if I can just get through Thanksgiving and Christmas :)
No Top Ten Tonight. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Please pardon how cheesy this sounds, but I am so thankful to each of you who I call friend. I am blessed.
