All treats, no tricks!

By Alicia

I'm eating french fries as I sit here and type this. I"ve also had two cupcakes (1 big, 1 miniature), 2 doughnuts (the boxed cinnamon sugar variety), and four slices of Donatos pizza today.  Can you tell we had a Halloween party for the kids?

I so totally fell off the diet wagon today and honestly, it felt just fine. No scrapes or bumps from this fall, no way sir. I gleefully and wholeheartedly jumped off the self-control cart and landed right smack in the middle of Candyland.

Nonetheless, I also reached and went beyond my 10,000 steps today. I started logging my steps this mornning when I got up around 2:30. I had awakened from a dream that solved a question about my son's medical condition. I jumped up and ran to the computer to research it, and sure enough, it was right on the nose. I also correlated my theory with a few passages from books.

All this took me till right around 3:45 am.I attempted to lay back down for awhile, but sleep was not forthcoming, So I puttered and read and generally tinkered around the house until about 9:00 am when I decided I really needed to finish cleaning for the party.

And I cleaned and decorated and assembled, etc., never sitting down until I paused to put on dark socks to match my witch's costume. By that time, I had hit my 5 mile mark with many flights of stairs and pushing of heavy items sandwiched in those numbers.

Needless to say, I'm tired, full, and still busy clearing the remnants of frosting from the corners of my mouth. Some days, it is what it is and today was one of those days.

Yum.
