Fall Eating and Drinking

Dear Angela,

I know it has been ages since I last posted but believe me when I say I was doing my fair share of eating and not exercising in the meantime... When times are busy I seem to forget that what I put into my body matters. I seem to avoid taking the stairs because instead I want to race up on the escalator to save even more time. Then September approaches when all of a sudden I am faced with the return of the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte...

Excuses, excuses. I KNOW.

Now that I've had my fair share of Pumpkin Spice Lattes (already) I have decided: no more! It was fun, it is probably my favorite coffee drink of the year, but I am done. I'll wait until next September to go PSL Crazy again. Even without the whipped cream on top, I feel like with that drink in my life my waistline will only end up expanding.

Of course, some of my other favorite foods around this time of year include:

  • Pumpkin anything baked goods
  • Caramel apples (making them is a lot of fun)
  • Hot chocolate by the fire
  • Sweet potato pie
  • Zucchini bread (again with the baked goods)

    I should make a mental note now: moderation, moderation, moderation. I don't believe in eliminating everything that brings such joy- but I do believe in one small piece of something delightful versus gorging on an entire tray of muffins.

    I might also make a rule: avoid the work breakroom and the coworker who brings in the steady supply of brownies and cookies to pass around. Yes, this is usually my favorite coworker of all time but do I really need those easy extra calories? Of course not.

    Your Addicted to PSL Friend,
    Rachel
