Sugar Crash!

Why, oh why do I do it! I know I'll feel terrible the next morning - regret, guilt, churning stomach churning.....

In general, I am a very healthy eater. I stay away from the fast food, the fried food, the junk food and the soda. I eat lots of fruit, vegis, lean meats, whole grains - all the stuff that is good for you.

But, the one time of year that I chow down on the candy is Halloween. Something about that bowl of candy that the kids have brought home calls me, taunts me, seduces me to partake of it's sweet sugary goodness.

I really overdid it this year....How about you? Are you suffering from a sugar crash?

The Morning After

With Halloween falling on a Friday night, our neighborhood seemed to be rich with block parties. Lots of food, lots of candy, and late night fun left us all a little tired and cranky. Add the candy that the kiddos brought home from trick-or-treating, the requisite 10% candy "tax" owed to the King and Queen of the house, and of course the "candy check" - Snickers always seem a little suspicious - and we all felt a little rotten.

Maybe we didn't look exactly like this when we got up this morning; I think we were a little greener. Maybe cutting the candy "tax" next year will help. Well, only if the kiddos are in the right tax bracket - Note to self......GET SMALLER CANDY SACKS!
