Back On Track Together
Halloween Eye Opener
My office is very "festive" during the year for any and every occasion and this being Halloween time, several desks, counters, etc. have big bowls of candy...not just candy....the GOOD kind....the chocolate candy bar kind. So....avoidance is the best way for me to manage...however, they are the mini-sized snickers, twix, etc. So...out of habit, I "socially" snagged a couple of them. Stop there, right?! Nope...I found myself surprised at the number of wrappers I had in my pocket when I got back to my office! Six of those tiny little mini wrappers...I jumped on my computer and found the "stats" and now I will have to double my normal walk, and then some, just to break even.
Here's what I found:
1 mini bite-size candy bar (Snickers, Milky Way, Butterfingers, etc.), ...that comes to 55 calories. You will need to walk 0.55 miles, or 1100 steps, assuming you cover one mile in 2,000 steps.
I will remedy this by walking 3.3 miles today just for my poor judgment.
Believe me...I will think twice the next time I find one of those little suckers in my chubby little hand.

Be careful my friend. It's a jungle out there and a candy bowl is hanging from every limb. It is worst than food *****n the web. I am blessed to work in a one man, one woman office and I am in charge of food control. The poor guard dog barely gets his dog treats. I am wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohhhhh yes!!! Is worse than food *****n the web! Danger! Danger! Danger!
Just got back from my walk....which was merely for the sake of dipping into the Trick or Treat bowl!

I think I will work extra hard getting my water down today also.
It's good to be "wicked" for the sake of our health!!!!
Thanks for your words.

Gave in to the family demand to put some of our candy out early. Ugh it has gotten me every single night. My body is yelling at me today and that is probably a direct result from candy indulgence last night.
