Halloween Challenges
Halloween Challenges
Boy oh boy Halloween is so much fun but not the best holiday when you are trying to eat healthily.
First challenge – (my own fault) I made cupcakes for my hubby to take to work, cupcakes for my son to take to school, cupcakes for my day care children to decorate today.So I made sure I had enough for everyone without any to spare. None left at home for me to be tempted by.They are actually carrot muffins and soooo good. One of my favorites.
Second Challenge – Donut holes brought in by one of the children to share with their friends today (Halloween Party day)So I counted out enough for each of the children to have one then I put the rest in little baggies for the children to take home.
Third Challenge – Sugar cookies that smell so yummy brought by another of the children to share at day care. Same thing left one out for each of the children and put the rest in baggies for the children to take home.
Fourth Challenge – Ugh a chocolate cake one of the day care parents brought.Now why they think six 2-5 yr. olds need a whole chocolate cake is beyond me.Then of course I hear oh I don’t want any leftovers brought home you just keep it.Obviously this parent put a lot of work into the cake and shes very proud of herself and it was a wonderful gesture but gee whiz a whole cake?Do they really want their children eating all this junk?Sure I can let them eat as much as they want and send them all home with tummy aches and wired for sound. But what good does that do anybody especially them.
For the day care goody bags I bought Halloween stickers, tattoos, cool skeleton toys, plastic spider rings and a pumpkin flashlight. I know the children will be thrilled with them and I am happy about that.
The day after Halloween is always interesting at day care too.I get all the very tired cranky children from the night before who stayed up way too late and ate way too much junk.Its loads of fun lol
Boy do I love Halloween!!!!!
Have a great one everyone and don’t let all the sugar demons get youLori

Lori, you are too funny! I am glad you didn’t eat all those treats the kids brought !Kids always bring so much temptation into your life don’t they ? That’s ok you relly did great ! Your buddy , Kimmi
Lots of challenges there Lori! You are a tough cookie though and I know you will resist. I am a bit leary of all the candy myself! UGH! We can resist….just keep saying that. WE CAN RESIST!
You are gonna do great today. You seem to have the right mindset to make it through today so keep it up. Just keep reminding yourself that the sweet stuff isn’t going to help you to your goals. And teach that mom a lesson and give back that leftovers! She’s probably on a diet herself and trying to resist temptation by giving it away. Shame on her!
kidding!
Garg! Way to fight off chocolate cake, and cupcakes and doughnut holes, not to mention the sugar cookies!
I admire your iron will!

Good job with the snacks. You did very well. Parents mean well but a cake was a little too much. It sure does sound good. LOL!!!! Keep up the good work!!!

With what you do I guess you really see and feel the downside of the sugar overload the children get these days. Should be paid double this time of year! I hope you can get through all the challenges successfully. Good luck, it’s almost over… oops, but then it’ll be Christmas soon. Oh my….lol
