For some reason, it is not bothering me one bit! Usually, this would be a perfect excuse to be off plan. After all, it's Halloween and everyone indulges on Halloween. Not this time and it's even my TOM!! With all the candy that's around, moderation won't work here - so zero is the magic number! At any time if I really want some candy, all I have to do is buy some. None of this candy is special. My MIL brought hers to my house last night (thinking we'd have a bunch of kids over), so now I have even more left-overs. Steve has promised to take the whole bowl to work tomorrow. Even though I am being good, better to get it out of the house. A saint I am not!!!
I made a big batch of home-made chili last night. Yummmmm!! Invited everyone over after Halloween (where were you guys??) :) My mom & Steve's mom came, so it was nice. For some dumb reason I bought a cake. No one wanted any. So there is $12.00 wasted and now I have a double layer cake at home. I think I'll either have Steve cut it up & freeze it (for himself) or just throw it away! I just don't care.

I went to the Doc on Monday and he is sending me for a stress test on Thursday. And he has ordered me off exercise until we get the results back. :( This is really bumming me out. I am in a routine...I am liking to exercise. Now nothing. Can't even walk the dog. I did go with trick or treating for about 35 min last night. Just didn't want to miss it!! So we are on a wait & see. I feel OK, just tired, very tired. And I have a strange cough.
This is how things change. "I was doing so good until I had to get that stress test and couldn't exercise...I just never got back into it after that". Not this time. As soon as I am cleared it's back to business in the gym. And I will continue to eat well and under my calorie limit.

I'm sitting here cheering my fool head off for you, Sandi! You are on a roll and I couldn't be more proud of you!
Checking out your symptoms is important and you'll be right back to exercising, not to worry.
So tell me, have you ever said no to Halloween candy before, in your whole life? This is HUGE!
Good job with the candy Sandi. I am doing the same thing, no candy at all as I know even if I said one or two mini chocolate bars that it would lead to ten or twelve and 800 calories later I would be feeling pretty bad about myself. Hope to hear good results from your stress test!

Man, wish I had the willpower you have shown!
I'm starting the 100 days book TODAY to end this cycle!
Yer darn tootin not this time! You, my friend, are a woman on a mission, and no temporary doctors orders or crappy leftover Halloween candy is gonna bring you down.
Have I mentioned lately how much I love your new found addiction to exercise?? Now, if only we could do the same for green stuff... ;D

Good job on the halloween restraint (especially during TOM)! Great idea having Steve take the left-overs away .. no point in having temptation at hand. I love the new attitude ~ goodness knows a cake wouldn't go to waste in the old days. But if you think about it, eating it just for the sake of not throwing it away would be treating yourself as a human garbage can (ohhh, I'll have to remember that seeing as I have half a tub of ice cream in the freezer that's just starting to get a wee bit of frost on it and I was thinking about eating it before its ruined. Heck, I'll get more satisfaction running hot tap water over it and watching it disappear down the sink rather than adding to my hips!)
I know its frustrating not exercising (especially when you find yourself hyped up and in the mood). I'm sure you'll get right back to business as soon as the doc gives you the go ahead!
