WW Wed. (Tuesday)

Photobucket

Good morning! I am doing my Weight Watcher's Wed. post early this week because tomorrow all of us blogger friends will be having a day of silence for Summer B's daddy. I am sad to say he passed away this week due to cancer robbing his body. I hate cancer. Summer, I am praying for you baby girl. I am so sorry for your loss and hope that you can find peace and serenity in this time.
As far as WW goes... how is everyone doing? Are you worried about all the sweet treats on Halloween? You shouldn't! Just be smart about it and enjoy yourself. Some of our favorite candies are not as bad as you think and some are worse, but don't forget that you get 30 emergency points per week for things like this. Just don't go crazy kiddo! What's your poison??

 Candy Corn- 26 pieces= 3 points
Snickers- fun size bar= 2 points
Twizzlers- 6 pc. snack pack= 3 points
Butterfinger-fun size= 2 points
Milky Way- fun size= 1 point
Whoppers- 6 pc. pack= 1 point
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup- 1 cup= 2 points
KitKat Bar- fun size= 3 points
Willy Wonka Laffy Taffy- 5 mini bars= 3 points
Pixie Stix- 7 straws= 1 point
Nerds- 1 mini box= 1 point

According to Calorie King to burn 60 calories which would be those 7 pixie stick straws you just ate lol, you could do one of the following:
17 minutes walking
7 min. jogging
5 min swimming
9 min cycling
Not too bad!!!

I am not sure what the nutrition facts are on the treat I am making for our Halloween party, but I will let you know. Here is what I am making (recipe/idea came from Cheeky Kitchen)
I plan to replace the chocolate chips and heavy cream with sugar free chocolate pudding so that should help out a little with point consumption. They are just too cute and easy!

Five Question Friday

It's Friday and I've started my day with a delicious Star Bucks white chocolate mocha! Hey, it's Friday and I can treat myself, right? :)
What do I love most about today? It's the weekend, I get to play with my mini sweet cakes tomorrow around the house while we are still in our pajamas, I get to go grocery shopping (have I ever told you I love to go grocery shopping?) annnnddd Five Question Friday of course!

1. What is your favorite Halloween candy?
I am going to have to say candy corn, but I can't eat a lot of it. It's just plain sugar so I can only eat like 5 at a time, but they are oh so scrumptious!
2. Do you fold your socks?
Most of the time I just pair them together and connect them so they don't lose their partners :)

3. What is something that you wish you had been warned about?
I can't think of anything that I was not warned about that I should have been, BUT I do wish I would have not worried so much about what people thought about me growing up. I have often heard people say they have never been as happy as they are in their thirties because they now know who they are. I have to agree with that even though I am not quite 30.. I have grown more confident with myself in the past year due to learning and listening to myself and what I really want out of life. I've learned to make my own decisions and like the things I really like, not just because you like them and it's what everyone is doing. Does this make sense?

4. What is the most significant difference between you and your significant other?
He stays calm and I don't! LOL- I panic in situations while he just sits back cool as a cucumber :)

5. What are three words you would use to describe yourself? (And, just for fun...if your significant other is around, ask him/her what 3 words they would use to describe you!!)
I would say: ARTISTIC because I have lots of ideas about decorating, crafts, and various projects. I can plan some outrageous events too :)
CUDDLY because I love to love on people. I love snuggling and giving hugs and kisses. That is of course if I feel comfortable with you. I don't just give random kisses to anyone, LOL. and PASSIONATE because I get intoxicated by the passion and desire to love someone, to help people in need, and I do it with all of my heart. ALL of it!

Hope you have a fantastic weekend!
