Monday in Review...
GOOD:  Stuck to planned foods, though didn't eat fruit & popcorn I intended to eat.  Fell right into the recommended ranges for calories and nutrients according to SparkPeople.  Took my vitamins & fish oil.
NEEDS WORK:  Slept late & procrastinated in the morning, meaning my walk with Chloe was cut short.  Was kind of lazy/tired after work and did not do any additional exercise.  Stayed up too late.

B: Pumpkin Oatmeal (needs moar spices), Coffee w/ FF half & half, sweet n low

S: Jolly Time mini-bag butter Popcorn
D: Big Salad with Light Thousand Island dressing, half a sweet potato, and Lamb
S: Pear

(I can't believe this is all my points. Depressing.)

No exercise.

Other triumphs:
-My coworker brought in fresh-baked apple cake. I resisted.
-My aunt sent me a package with Halloween peeps and chocolate-covered marshmallow pumpkins. I did not eat any. The marshmallow pumpkins went into the freezer for rainy day cravings, and the peeps I will bring to work, where I will eat only one per day (I like them best stale anyway).

Durping my own horn...

Wearing smaller pants that didn't fit last spring today!  Whee!  Can't wait to fit into more previously too-small stuff!
