It is 304 Days since I started posting my Daily Food Diary. ☺️
Today is November 1st. TEN months down and Two to go.
I generally begin each month with a fresh focus for my diary. This month, I am just going to wing it. Each day, I will focus on a different aspect of nutrition – good, bad, or otherwise. 🤷
Since yesterday was Halloween, prepackaged treats seem to be a good place to begin.
This year as always, we stocked up on Halloween treats to hand out, and as always we overstocked! Now that we are retired, we do not have the option of donating such leftovers to company lunch rooms.
Fortunately, daughter Jen’s girls have aged out of Trick or Treating… and her youngest (Prim) chose the option of having a sleepover with Grandma and Grandpa.

After a supper of enchiladas, an evening of watching the Blue Jays, a surprise visit from her best friend, a good night sleep, and a breakfast bacon & tomato sandwich, she headed home WITH our leftover Halloween treats to share with her sisters!
Another sugar and salt crisis averted – at least for us. 😁

Thank you, John! 🙂 I plan to focus more on calories used next year. I need the incentive to get out and do more, get more involved..

I thought that was pretty impressive considering we had 2 big bowls of Halloween treats on our coffee table all evening. Dan went to Rosemont Hardware and got me honey today. 👍

Me too, Anne, since winter is approaching I can head outside of town to the very nice hiking trails around the Red Rock Canyon area. Great for photography too.

good idea to send it home with the grandkids! We had extra too but are unfortunately eating it. Nobody likes the sour skittles though.

Dan kept one little bowl for us. We generally send any leftovers home with the girls. (meals, candy, desserts). They can always use it up or share it with their friends. ☺️
