Fruit Snax and Snack Pax…

So last nite not one kid came to our door Trick-or-Treating. So now I have bowls of candy just sitting around my house. Fortunately, I don’t even like most of it. One weird candy we have is these little gummy fruit snacks. And two people have said “Oh well instead of candy that’s good…” and I am looking at them like “are you serious?”

So people REALLY think stuff like Gummy Fruit Snacks and Fruit Roll-Ups are fruit and not candy? That is so bizarre to me.

I did my CT scan this morning and when I layed down on that thing the lady had me shift my body downward towards the end of the table thingie and when I did my back spasmed like never before. I was in so much pain I thought I was going to cry.

It took me forever to get up after the scan and I kept apologizing to the lady , I was very embarrassed and in so much pain but I just could not get up. Finally, I managed to shift my body weight and turn sideways and push myself up.

Got home and took a Flexeril and Unisom and conked out until about 3:30pm and I actually felt so much better that I Gazelled one mile and did the Two Mile DVD walk.

As far as diet goes, I have not gotten up and eaten and I have not binged.

Thanks for everyone stopping by and offering supportive comments.

I’m thinking of re-training into a new job field because fixin’ planes is just too physically difficult.

Keep on movin and groovin, BSers.

    So sorry about your back. Can you retrain while in the military? Super if you can. Yes, some people consider that sticky sweet stuff fruit. I did find some “flat” fruit at the Health Food Store. They are supposed to be just squashed fruit. I ate one and it did taste like the real thing. Good to carry to the movies in your pocket. Have a better day tomorrow and hang in there. Hug, Marge

    My candy leftovers just walked out the door with dh and are headed to work with him. Let all his work buds pig out on it because I’m not going to.

    Sorry the back is still giving you fits. Maybe they can help you when they find out what is wrong.

    Hope you have a better painfree weekend!

    AWww…no trick or treaters. Phooey! I love getting trick or treaters but this year we kept the kids out all during the trick or treat hours. Sorry to hear about your back but good job on the exercise you got it!

    Too bad on the no trick or treaters. I love handing out candy. And people do think that just because something says “fruit” then it must be healthy. That’s why I think alot of people mess up on their weight loss plans because they aren’t fully aware of everything they are eating. Sorry to hear about your back. I hope all goes well for you.
