Last night the boy (as in live in bf) and I hit the gym for some Halloween Spin Trivia. Our instructor picked holiday-themed songs and awarded everyone with candy for guessing the correct artist as the workout progressed. We also had spin-offs, which are 10 second competitions to see who is fastest. The winner got more candy! Not to toot my own horn, but I kicked the boy's booty. While this seems counterproductive for those trying to keep candy at bay during this time of year, I actually lucked out with this giveaway due to my Halloween candy plan of attack.
When I know a holiday, aka special treats, are around the corner, I try to plan when I will allow myself a moderate splurge. I find that planning eliminates a lot of my food guilt. If I'm on track with healthy eating and activity for the week, then it seems reasonable to have a little somethin' somethin'.
For Halloween my plan was to ban candy from the home, easier to do if you're not expecting any trick or treaters like us, and allow myself a few bites on H-ween weekend. However, I have another person to consider, who likes candy, and I cannot entirely blame him. So, we made an agreement: no candy in the home until the weekend of Halloween. Our little spinning prizes killed three birds with one stone! You see being choc-a-holics, we couldn't agree on what type of candy to bring home this weekend. Now we have a variety of treats. A small collection of treats. And we don't have to spend money on candy!

What are your healthy eating plans for the weekend? Pumpkin seeds? Sweet cinnamon popcorn? A few noms of candy?
Happy Halloween Season!
