FOOTBALL, FALL, AND FOOOD!

My favorite season is finally in full swing!  With that comes warm comfort foods and the ultimate - TAILGATING!  Food and booze.  Booze and food.  However you look at it - it can be very hard on your progress if you don't watch yourself.  Trust me, I am only human and have been in the kitchen baking already!  Not something I normally do for the simple fact that I do not like things in my house that tempt me!  The oatmeal cookie experience is another story in itself, so I won't go there right now.
Where I do want to go is NOT overdoing calorie intake during this season.  Be aware of what you are drinking - if you choose alcohol keep in mind the number of empty calories you are taking in.  Also, drinking makes us do mindless munching so if this happens (ok, WHEN) - choose healthier selections.  Veggies and lean meats.  Sure, eat a cookie just not 6 (which I was recently guilty of doing!)
HAVE FUN and I believe everything is good in moderation.  If we deprive ourselves - yikes - our body may go crazy on us!!!
