Day 4 ~ Part II

*note: If you're visiting this blog for the first time you might want to scroll down to the first post from Oct. 9, 2010 to follow chronologically.

In the category of daily landmines to avoid, I spent some time late afternoon at the first annual Post Falls Chamber Soup & Chili Cook-Off. Visited friends, took lots of photos and sampled nary a spoonful of what looked like wonderful homemade eats. Landmine #1 successfully avoided. Then I headed to the concession stand at the Post Falls Lions Haunted House. I've run the stand for many of the dozen or so years that Bert's been a Lion. Today as I picked up a few last minute items at the grocery store, it was like sensory overload. Then this evening spending 5 hours with cupcakes, hot dogs, nachos, chili, hot chocolate and hot cider, I had to make a concious decision over and over again not to pick up something to snack on. To call it torture would be an overstatement but I found it the most difficult mine field of the week. I'll spend several more evenings volunteering in the stand between now and Halloween so I'll take it one day at a time. Day 1 in the concession stand was a success!

  1. THERE!!! You see, Kerri? You have made up your mind and that's it. You are no longer a person who grazes. You're a person who eats only healthy stuff on a healthy schedule. You are going to be amazing at this program.
