friday follow-ups

I feel like I should follow up on my post on Monday... Monday itself was an ease into it sort of day, because although I tried to cut out snacks and eat relatively healthy meals, we still had half of a carrot cake in the fridge from the night before and, well, we're not wasteful people.  The rest of the week we did a really good job of working on portion control and cutting out snacks and dessert.  Except for yesterday when I basically whined so much about wanting chocolate that we went and got Blizzards.  Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

I mentioned on Tuesday that I was making this crockpot recipe.  It was okay.  It didn't change my life or anything.  But it was fairly healthy and the fact that I wasn't obsessed helped with portion control... that's a plus I guess?

Normally trying to eat healthier would be coupled with an attempt to workout more, but since I haven't been able to shake this bug yet that hasn't happened.  This cough is so obnoxious.

Brian and I figured out our Halloween costumes for the party we are going to on Saturday, we went to Goodwill yesterday and everything is ready.  But I think I'm gonna keep it to myself until I post pictures on Monday!

It's supposed to get really cold here this weekend.  Why does the temperature always seem to drop right before Halloween?

I heard this was on ABC last night, but I didn't watch it.  Wouldn't this poster be cute to hang in your house around Halloween?
