Candy, Candy, Candy Everywhere!

Usually when I don’t post for a day or two, it means I’m busy plowing my way through high-calorie, high-fat food, swigging Coke like a seasoned addict, and pretending that the word “exercise” doesn’t exist in my vocabulary.  Not this time, I promise!  I’m just really swamped at work.  Today I can actually see over the pile in my inbox, so I am taking a break to write here.  Lucky you, eh?

Yesterday every last one of my co-workers hauled their leftover Halloween candy to work, so there was a gigantic basket big enough to hold a small child, filled with candy of all kinds, sitting prominently in the kitchen.  Seriously?  Why buy that much candy in the first place?  And what’s with the “Leftover junk?  Guess I’ll make everyone at work fat” mentality?

I sneaked a fun-size candy bar, then dutifully logged it in my Weight Watchers food diary.  WHAT THE…?   Five points for that tiny thing?  Holy crap!  I nearly gagged it back up.  I thought maybe one point, at most two.  I kept my paws out of that candy basket the rest of the day.  It wasn’t worth five points each, that’s for sure!

I can’t believe this week is almost over already.  Two more days of good workouts, then it’s time for weigh-in!  I really hope I have a good loss this week. The scale should throw an extra pound loss in this week just because I resisted (most of) the Halloween candy.
