Daily Food Diary – Day 277 of 365

by annemariedemyen, posted in 2025, Health and Fitness

Today is Day 277 of my Daily Food Diary.  😍

Today is Sunday and my husband Dan is out picking up a few groceries.  Yesterday,  he did likewise.  Yesterday, we even went through the fliers together before he went.  I showed him that one store had bags of Halloween Candy on sale.  One brand contained  Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, Oh Henry’s, plus three types of candy that I wouldn’t eat, even if it was leftover.  So.. relatively safe. Right?

He came home with three bags of Halloween candy – all the same – all with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups…..

Basically, I will have one full bag of Peanut Butter Cups and Oh Henry Bars if we get our typical handful of Trick and Treaters…

But it gets better.  He hid them so I would not be sneaking any before Halloween (to save them for any possible Trick or Treaters).   Great idea, EXCEPT…

He hid them behind a bag of potato chips. 😳

There was another bag of chips on this side of the Doritos, but still…

Between Thanksgiving and Halloween, this could be a rough month for my Daily Food Diary.

Daily Food Diary – Day 161 of 365

This is Day 161 of my Daily Food Diary. That is a solid  23 WEEKS! 😃

We are now away from our  home base and spending a few days with son Dan and family. 

Yesterday was our travel day here so  I missed doing my morning aerobics workout.  I also missed out on any walking, due to heavy smoke drifting through Saskatchewan and settling here once we arrived.  Son Dan spent the day putting together an amazing supper of home made baked beans and smoked ribs.   Daughter in Law,  Amanda, topped it off with a decadent Gin and Tonic.  All in all, the results of my Daily Diary are a cautionary tale of traveling and visiting family.

Today, things are looking up.  While it is still too smokey  to go out for a walk, I did get my aerobic workout in and I had a workout buddy to work with.

Grandson Cason

Six year old Cason came up to do my aerobic workout with me.   We finished that and he chose one of his favourite You Tube workout challenges and we did that as well. 💞
