We welcomed a minor celebrity into our home (if you are a 3-7 year old) this evening. Marshall from Paw Patrol spent the evening handing out treats to a plethora of other superheroes, princesses, monsters, butterflies, and more. Each time a trick or treater knocked or rang our door bell, Marshall greeted them with "I'm fired up!" It is safe to say that we did our part tonight in making sure local dentists have cavities to fill. I'm not a sweets guy. I like the salty foods. I'll choose a bag of Lays over a candy bar any day. Seriously, it's popcorn over ice cream, Chex Mix over Starburst, or well, you get the idea. So when I say I had a hankering for candy tonight, know it was a strange thing for me. I'm ashamed to say I definitely overdid it tonight. Way too much sugar and empty calories. Thankfully I didn't blow my calories out of the water. It is so easy though, isn't it? Giving in to cravings happens in the blink of an eye. I'm not going to lie, I wish I had wasted those calories on something like pizza or a cheeseburger. So what do I learn from this? What can I take away that will help me in the future? I have both Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, and it worries me that a minor holiday just took me off my path. I have to walk into this holiday season prepared. I can't let my guard down for one moment. I have to stay on top of things if I am going to continue to lose my butter half.
As you already know, eating wasn't my best. I did get in a great workout on the bike. A minor stumble, but I'll live to fight another day.
