I survived!

I survived Halloween!!!  Unfortunately, there were a few minor bumps in the road. 

I ended up skipping the gym on Wednesday.  Between problems with work and a crazy schedule at my son’s school — I just couldn’t make it.  Although, it may be that my body needed the break.  My knees feel a LOT better today and I’m all jazzed up and ready to go to they gym this morning.

I only ate two small pieces of Halloween candy on Halloween!  What was weird about it though was that it didn’t satisfy my sweet craving.  I ended up pitching the last half of my miniature Milky Way (courtesy of my son’s Trick-or-Treating) and got a handful of grapes instead. 

Unfortunately, PMS decided to set in the next day and I alternated between intense chocolate and salt cravings.  I ate three Tootsie Rolls and I DON’T EVEN REALLY LIKE TOOTSIE ROLLS! 

I crawled in bed and pulled the covers over my head and begged my husband to take the candy away and hide it from me.  He did and I’m so thankful!  If I don’t see it, I’m okay.  And my chocolate cravings are usually satisfied by a Fiber One Oats and Chocolate Granola Bar. 

Have any of you tried these granola bars?!?!  Our Nutritionist recommended them because of the high fiber content and the fact that they have protein in them.  THEY ARE AMAZING!  I’m completely and totally in love with them.

Now that I’ve gotten past my little bumps, I’m ready to get back to really working on my health.  I’m going to the gym to get weighed today (not looking forward to that because of the PMS issue – ugh), but I’m not going to let it deter me.  I’m already feeling better overall and THAT is what matters — not the digits on the scale.
