Day 28: Halloween

Average Amount of Candy Eaten by Americans Each Year:  24.6 pounds

Average Amount of Candy I Eat Each Halloween:  26.3 pounds

Years I Have Eaten Candy on Halloween:  31

Knowning that This Year I Ate Nothing Sweet:  Priceless

Okay, I know this doesn't make a lot of sense because everything is not in dollars, but I have always wanted to write something using "Mastercard Formula."  Anyway, Halloween was tough, but I did it:  No sweets.  Now I just have to get through Mia's Birthday, Elisabeth's birthday, my birthday, Vetran's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.  Piece of cake!  Actually, I guess I should say, piece of apple or banana or something like that. . . . No cake!

Way to go! Seriously, you did an awesome job and lost, what, about 4 pounds and 2 inches in a week? Halloween week!

Now, we just need to develop some better coping skills for all the other approaching holidays...
