I exercised again today. Yesterday, I learned that muscle soreness and fasting can confuse the weary mom into believing she may have the flu. Exercise caution. I wasn't sure if I was sick or not, but I've been drinking water like crazy and that seemed to be the main problem (the lack of water).
ANYWAY...
I meant to share this before Halloween but had not time for anything other than costume making.
Cameron works out several times a week at their work campus fitness center and they had a contest pre-Halloween to win this...

So the craziness is that I love most of this candy and it's in convenient big-mouth-sized pieces. Cam won by guessing how many calories the jar contained.
How many calories are were in jar? 12,528
I have this huge jar of candy now and no one in my family is really going to help me. Cam can't eat any of it. I gave away a couple of pounds of it pre-Halloween, but it's still 1/3 full.
And I choose to start eating healthier and exercising. CRAZY.
Peanuts are good protein, right?

Ben's friend Branton Richter is a dentist in Lehi and he is collecting Halloween candy for the troops. You could try that, or a local dentist? Good luck! Is it bad I ate as much Halloween candy as I could eat on Halloween weekend. I'm kind of candied out. Well, until I get my hands on some Cadbury's Christmas chocolate balls...
I practically made my kids sell their stuff back to the local kids dentist. I cannot handle that kind of temptation.
i ate a few (and a few too many more ) and then I had to get rid of it...to tempting...;) I'm never good at guessing that stuff..so go cam!
How ironic that it was a calorie contest in fitness center! So funny and delicious...
I will help you eat it. me you and baby. chocolate. a good movie. Follow me?
I'd suggest freezing it, we've done that with terrific results in the past. That way, you can take out a few pieces at a time, to cut up for pancakes, or for ice cream topping, or for a movie night or school lunch. The candy (chocolate stuff anyhow) thaws well.
PS: Wondering if you'd like to do a mixed CD swap sometime with me? We seem to enjoy similar taste in music. lmk! ;)
It's your kids' fault... my kids would have had that whole jar empty in one day!
I'm with Angie. I'll make the sacrifice and help you eat that. I know I'm a great friend, tis true.
By the way I have to say your costumes turned out fabulous!! It inspired Austin & I to maybe put some effort into our own attire when we go to the Harry Potter movie (one week to go!!!!)
