Halloween

I know you all know what is coming, the sordid tale of Gables vs. the Halloween Candy.

The first tactical error was buying the candy early, you know, because it will sell out right? The second was leaving it on the kitchen table. Once that box was opened it was all over. I think we have eaten probably half of the little candy bars. And of course rooting through it to get the good ones. For us that is the coffee crisp so all the little children will have to eat the hated smarties. Second choice has been the kit kat so that leaves also Aero for the kiddies.

My retreat has consisted of putting the candy downstairs. Out of sight out of mind, right? That seems to work until it crosses your mind then you can hear the little chocolate voices crying from the basement to come and eat them. (yes my candy is possessed, it's halloween candy!)
My record of leaving the candy alone is probably one day.

In the positive side my new shiny treadmill is in the basement too so once I am down there I may as well get on. Two days in a row now I have walked for a whole hour.

That will counteract the chocolate, right? right?!
