Roll Call 10-8

[Outback Jess]

Good morning STACers. Last night I was training a girl and we were riding bikes in my area. We rounded the corner on some pretty scary houses, all decorated with Halloween stuff. Boo!
Made me think about this holiday coming up, still far off, but the treats are everywhere now, and I am sure many of you have them in your house for your kiddos and they are probably starting to call your name.

Get a game plan! Get your husband to hold the candy. Have legal snacks in the house you can turn to. Have a trusted someone hide the candy if need be. Definately get it out of view.

Manage the problem, don't let the problem candy rise up and take control of your life! It is a scary holiday. But you learn now how to manage holidays so you can walk seamlessly through the biggies coming !

Good morning! Yay for me we don't 'do' Halloween. I am however in total shock that it is October anyway. How in heavens name did the year go by so fast!

Well, off to work, then the gym.. missed the gym these last 4 days something awful! (My guilty pleasure while putting in miles on the elliptical... junk TV I would never watch at home... like 'Wife Swap' and 'Judge Alex!' But hey, I stay on the machines so its all good!)

Yeah, I think I can make it through Halloween...It's Thanksgiving and Christmas in the South that are gonna bother me.

I hope everyone has a great day!

hey jess~ while i'm not an official "STAC'ER" i just wanted to say...i LOVE halloween! it is my son's birthday so it is always a fun day. this year he will be 21....talk about a "BOO!"

the worst thing about those halloween treats is that they come in tiny bite sized bits so the brain rationalizes that "it is not so much."...talk about another "BOO!" there is no such thing as "not so much." EEK! beware the bite size treats!

Good morning everyone! It's a beautiful autumn day here. I love October with it's colorful foliage and the smell of the fallen leaves. I hope all of you enjoy this day as much as I am!

We don't do Halloween either as far as the candy part goes because we are so far out in the boonies that we don't have many neighbors and all the kids are grown and gone. We do decorate though because I love that part.

Re: Roll Call 10-8

Sometimes living in a retirement community has its bonuses ... no trick 'or treaters, for example Since it's just me and my husband, our holidays are really minimalist ... we don't even buy Christmas presents for each other anymore ... our birthdays are both in December, so we have a joint celebration by going out to eat somewhere nice ... this year might be more a challenge ... gimme some LOBSTER!

Re: Roll Call 10-8

Morning everyone! I love Halloween! I've already put up my decorations It's just my BF, the baby and I so we don't keep treats around. We go buy our candy for the trick or treaters the day before. I'm thinking I'll get something with nuts or coconut as I hate both. It'll reduce any temptation.

I'm struggling with Induction friendly snacks. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it!
