Gearing up for Halloween...

When the kitty tries to blend in with the Halloween things so she can steal candy.

 

Forgive me for my future hangry....

So to officially kick off the start of October, I am doing a 14 week weight loss challenge with 7 of my friends.  The one who loses the most weight wins.  There's money riding on this. Because everyone knows that money, sex and candy motivates anyone, young or old.  Tho' this is just a fun friendly competition, I also see it as a way to keep me in line.  I have a HUGE sweet tooth.  So obviously Halloween and Christmas proposes as a threat to me.  Thanksgiving not so much.  I really don't dig the Thanksgiving feast.  Normally on that holiday my plate consists of salad, a roll and maybe a slice of cherry pie if someone made one.  But Halloween candy and Christmas cookies/sweets...oh my god. I feel myself getting fat thinking about them. Anywho... if I seem especially snarky/bitchy/annoyed...its because I'm going thru sugar withdraw.  OK, so I doubt I can completely give up sweets, but I'm going to try to keep them out of my house. 
So what are some of your diet/exercise tips? Favorite meals?

 

Da'Nile is more then just a river in Egypt.....

Now let me start by saying that I take snacking as serious as the next person does.  I mean I even have a Cookie Monster snack sphere for my skittles! If that isn't snack dedication, I don't know what is. *laughs* Now, I think this boils down to a case of "po-tay-toe" vs. "po-tah-toe", but hey what ever you have to do to get thru the day. Right?

So now I ask you...What is your favorite snack?
