DietBet & Healthy Eating Challenge Update

-
Um, things have not been going that great to be totally honest.
 
I have been on a baking spree these past couple of weeks which has been so fun and helped me work on some of my talents, but I've really been neglectful of my eating habits and exercise. Even that green smoothie challenge I was doing so good on has ceased to exist.
 
But let's think more positively. I have made some really fun and delicious treats to share! 
 
Cinnamon Swirl Banana Bread (amazing! And I learned a life-changing tip! If your bread is getting really nice and cooked on the top but the middle is still really mushy (this has always been a problem for me), simply place a sheet of tin foil on top. Voila! Perfect banana bread!)
 
 
 
 
 
 
This stuff is DELISH! Especially if you love the classic Peanut Butter and chocolate combo.  Basically this recipe is Muddy Buddies (or Puppy Chow, whichever you prefer) with Reese's Puffs cereal and Reese's Pieces mixed in. The recipe this is linked to calls for mini Reese's cups but I didn't use those. I also used two cups of chocolate chips in place of the 16 oz. of vanilla CandiQuick
 
 
The recipe I used for these muffins DID NOT include the cream cheese icing recipe. Those are separate links.
 
I made these last night and they tasted great! A great way to get some of that pumpkin flava in your cooking! Plus, it used coconut oil instead of butter. I love coconut oil :)
 
I just ordered my costume for Halloween (it should be coming any day now) and I'm hoping it will fit and look good. My muffin top is looking extra large and for this costume, you can't be having that! Crossing my fingers it will look good! It's always a little risky ordering clothes online.
 
Hopefully I can start working really hard so I can lose 4% of my body weight by Thanksgiving, while still enjoying some holiday goodies :) I still have a lot of fun treats planned. Moderation. That's key.
 
 
 
And these mini Caramel Apples look so fun! Or what about these Inside-Out ones!?
 
Just dip these in some delicious toppings like crushed oreos, mini chocolate chips, marshmallows, etc.
 
I like these because they seem A LOT easier to eat than a big apple on a stick!

Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You"

Song: Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You" Artist: The Hound + The Fox Wow this is so good! 🥀 So, funny enough, I just watched the 1990's Addams Family film for the first time eva a couple days ago and then  this video pops up on my youtube feed (if this isn't proof that the government is stalking us through technology IDK what is! 😱). Anyway, even though I didn't care for the movie all that much, I thought this song captured Morticia and Gomez perfectly! And it's actually a really, beautiful love song for Halloween time! I especially like the bridge (and I'm pretty sure it's a direct quote from the movie because when I heard them singing it I was like "That sounds familiar...." 🤔). We all need somebody to rot next to at the end.... 😂 Sorry about the dark humor 😈🖤🥀 I see you like  A night with a full moon  I feel you like a flame  You cast a spell on me  I like how you make me weak  I play you like a game  I hope w

Siren Call

Song: Siren Call Artist: Hanson This song is off of Hanson's Fan Club EP: Loud (2016). I have been slightly obsessed with this haunting song as of late. This song is about dealing with depression ( Zac Hanson even said so ! Be forewarned, explicit language is used in this video. I'm so sorry). Once I heard Zac explain the meaning and message behind this song it made so much sense to me! I have always loved it and I've always known it had a powerful message but I could never quite figure out what it was. This song is about struggling. Being weighed-down by the burdens and challenges life brings to each and every one of us. When we stop and allow ourselves to "give in" to the pain and sadness that comes with the stress of life, that's when we begin to slip and fall into a deep depression. That's when our "Siren's Call" us. And pull us down. No straighter path than to struggle .... This is perfect. And it's true. Life is a constan

Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley

Song: Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley Artist: From Youtube I found this really creepy, cool medley/cover on youtube. I really like it! Major  Halloween  vibes from two  Halloween  inspired movies. The  Corpse Bride  lyrics were written by the person who posted/sang this song. She does a great job! Thanks for sharing  Trickywi ! I sense there's something in the wind That feels like tragedy's at hand And though I'd like to stand by him Can't shake this feeling that I have The worst is just around the bend And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be Under a tree at quarter three, I had some hope in me But life was taken from me, but I did not feel peace I made a vow within my gown that love will come to me But there he is and suddenly I had been found I adore him What will become of my dear friend Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd In their enth
