How to Celebrate October 18th, 2025 ... Without Gaining Weight?😋🥳🎉

I picked the wrong day to start losing weight It seems:-(
And had Curried Sausages for dinner
 for more mash:-)
"Start your day by whipping up a delicious batch of mashed potatoes to celebrate National Mashed Potato Day. Treat yourself to a hearty breakfast, and maybe even get creative by adding toppings like cheese or bacon.
As you savor your mashed potatoes, indulge in a sweet chocolate cupcake in honor of National Chocolate Cupcake Day. This delightful treat can be a perfect mid-morning snack to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Feeling energized after your cupcake break, why not take part in Ride To Work Day? Dust off your bike or take a stroll to your workplace to enjoy the fresh air and maybe even discover a new route or shortcut.
When lunchtime rolls around, commemorate National No Beard Day by experimenting with a new shaving style or skincare routine. Embrace the change and freshen up your look.
Later in the day, wind down and relax with a sloth-like pace in celebration of International Sloth Day. Take some time to unwind, read a book, or enjoy a leisurely nap.
To cap off your day, channel your adventurous spirit on Adventure Day. Explore a new hiking trail, try a new activity, or plan your next exciting escapade.
Remember to speak up for victims of sexual abuse on National Speak Up for Victims of Sexual Abuse Day. Educate yourself on the issue and consider ways to support survivors in your community.
As the day comes to a close, wind down by watching a film festival online or organizing a movie night with friends to celebrate Wales International Film Festival. Don’t forget the popcorn!
No matter how you choose to spend your day, embrace the spirit of fun, indulgence, and awareness that these unique holidays bring. Cheers to a day filled with mashed potatoes, chocolate cupcakes, adventure, and advocacy!"
October is National Sausage Month, as well:-)
I already had chocolate Cherry Liqueurs in my cupboard and was rationing myself to one a day anyway, so it was easy to celebrate 'National Sweetest Day' today ... and for the rest of the week and beyond:-)
As a bonus, the chocolate in my chocolate Cherry Liqueurs is said to be Fair Trade on the box, and it is Fair Trade Month in October.
Every October
I even bought some mini chocolate cupcakes today, which will be rationed to one a day for me, and I'll get my son to help finish off the rest before their October 25th "use by date":-)
And to think I was going to start dieting today to lose a few Kilos?-)
Saturday October 18th, 2025
I ate junk food and stayed on the couch today and watched movies, like 
'Gold' starring birthday boy Zac Efron in the Aussie STAN movie:-)
Zac Efron, born on October 18, 1987
'Gold' had been on my "to watch" list for months, so today seemed as good a time as any to watch it.
And it wasn't a bad movie, either.
I almost lost weight watching Zac's character starving to death in the Australian desert, while I ate dessert:-)
That was enough of an adventure for me today to realize I didn't want too much adventure in my own life, if it meant risking it.
The weekend after the
Second Monday of
October
And is this Amelia Earhart quote below (which I found on the Adventure Day page) meant to be sarcasm?
Disappeared July 2, 1937 (aged 39)
Hmm ... disappeared July 2nd?!
Every October
I see that today was also 'National Whole Hog Barbecue Day', but I don't eat pig, so days like this one, and months like 'Porktober' ain't for me I'm afraid.
Saturday October 18th, 2025
I've pigged out enough for one day ... metaphorically at least:-)
Every October
Every October
The closest that I have come to eating pig this year (that I know of) was eating Turkey Bacon in Singapore -
Turkey Bacon
National Days on Saturday

My Turkey Bacon breakfast in Singapore
PIG (2021)

Sunday November 2nd, 2025
I wrote about the movie 'PIG' in this recent post -
Saturday October 18th, 2025
I see that it was also 'Rakija Day' today, but I couldn't find a bottle in Dan Murphy's today, although I could order it to be delivered in 4-10 days according to their website.
My son and his partner brought me a small bottle home from Serbia when they were over there a few years back.
But now that I have a half Serbian granddaughter about to turn 1 at the end of October, maybe I should order a bottle to celebrate her birthday?
