Gardening has helped me not gain, and I'm off of sugar--that's a big move for me. I'll get Halloween candy for the kiddos this evening, but I won't get anything I'm tempted to eat.
I'm not going to start a new thread for this next bit, but I got an email from the Trust for Public Lands about a "brew at home" pledge sponsored by a coffee company that results in donations to TPL. I don't drink coffee, but I went ahead and did it (and checked the box to not receive any information from them).

If you're interested. I always brew (tea) at home and drink from a mug, I'm not throwing out paper or styrofoam cups to support my habit. :)
