Well, I'm certainly human and the last two weeks I've kinda enjoyed myself eating wise. I've not had a full week in the gym either week, but went which is the important part. There was Halloween candy in the house and while I was good leading up to Halloween, you can only walk by it so many times without having some. We had a trip home and there was lots of eating out. I usually make good choices at restaurants, but not so much these times. All I can do is shrug it off and work hard this week so I can have some loss before Thanksgiving week when I know I'll be enjoying some good food.

Weigh-in for 11/2/2013
Last weigh-in (10/26/2013) : 145.2 lb
This weigh-in (11/2/2013) : 144.4 lb
Change : 0.8 lb lost
Total weight loss since Izzie : 56 lbs
The Weight Watchers scale was kind to me this morning, as my own scale didn't have me down so much. I'll probably pay for it next week, but right now I don't care. That's a decent loss for a week where I only made it to the gym twice and of course, it was also Halloween week. I definitely implored my will power this week, as I only allowed myself three pieces of candy in the last two days. We also went over to a friend's house after Trick-or-Treat and they had pizza. We had already eaten before the kids went out, so I just enjoyed the company and didn't eat anything. There were plenty of times in the past where I'd say, "Screw it," and eat the pizza anyway. That shows how far I've come in the last seven and a half years. There are certainly times when I allow myself to overindulge, but I have to pick and choose. I can't do it every time that I might want to. If I didn't allow myself some things that aren't so great for me, I'd never be able to stay on program and this is something I have to maintain for the rest of my life, so I have to make concessions sometimes.

Sweet & Crunchy Cereal Squares
Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup unsalted butter
10 oz package of marshmallows (minis work the best)
6 cups Fiber One Caramel Delight cereal
1 1/2 cup candy corn
Step 1:
Grease 9x13 baking dish. In a 4-quart saucepan, combine peanut butter, honey, butter, and marshmallows.
Step 2:
Cook over low heat until marshmallows are melted, stirring occasionally.
Step 3:
Carefully stir in cereal using a wet or greased spatula. Turn off heat and slowly stir in candy corn (if it's still on heat, the candy corn will melt). Use spatula to spread mixture into 9x13 pan. Cool completely, cut into 36 bars.
I love this chilled in the fridge, but for little ones as a Halloween treat, I recommend leaving it at room temperature so it's easier to bite into.
Makes 36 servings; 4 points plus each
