Ahh...fall. The kick off to the holiday season. Fall brings football games, Halloween, sweaters, and of course pumpkins. My personal fall kick off is the Pumpkin Latte. I get this obsession with pumpkins as soon as fall starts. Pumpkin everything! Unfortunately, even if the great pumpkin debate confirms it to be a vegetable or a fruit, that still does not mean it's healthy. I finished my week last week with 2 pumpkin lattes. D-Lish!! When stopping at Dunkin Donuts, I apparently didn't think a 300 calorie pumpkin latte was enough; I had to opt for the frosted pumpkin muffin as well. I will say this honestly: I was in heaven. I did not want my pumpkin feast to end. I ate every crumb of the muffin and drank every drop of the latte. And it was worth it...
The guilt factor doens't weigh as much this time of year. Allow yourself a fall treat. Enjoy a pumpkin latte. Give yourself a deserving treat every so often, just remember do so in moderation. I may have gone overboard w/my pumpkin consumption this weekend but now I just know how much harder I need to push and discipline myself this week to make up for it.
Enjoy the seasons and reward yourself for your hard work!!
