R & R with Rachel (Rants and Raves with Rachel): My Annual After Halloween Scare

So you might think that after all these years I would be able to change my after-Halloween eating habits. But, truth be told, I absolutely LOVE Halloween candy. Although I can buy candy all year long the free candy available at my job and at many local businesses and events the week after Halloween is especially delicious and inviting. Kit Kats, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Snickers, Milky Way, M & Ms, Whoppers, I enjoy them all. Sadly, the candy might be free of cost, but it is not free of calories. I have definitely put on a few pounds in the last few weeks. I hate it when my pants feel tight! What to do? Well to start, I have put myself on a strict no Halloween candy diet. No Kit Kats after lunch, no Hershey Kisses after dinner, no Butterfingers, no Almond Joy... you get the picture. My co-workers have been helping by not bringing in any more of their kids leftover candy. It has been tough, but I can do it!

Now about that Thanksgiving cake........UGH!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!
