Preparing for Halloween

October 20, 2006 ↓ Comments (0)

It’s just days away from Halloween now. For a while I didn’t care and didn’t want to eat sugar but as it approaches and I keep seeing candy everywhere (today at the bank they had buckets of candy on the counter for customers to take) and have begun to get a little bit excited about the idea of eating brownies, chocolate covered pretzels, cookies, cake, ice cream, Pop Tarts, and maybe even some Froot Loops or something.

For those of you who don’t know, I’m going to eat nothing but sweets (or close to it) from Halloween until November 3rd, then I’ll quit sugar for another year. I chose those days because Halloween is the holiday most associated with sugary sweets and my birthday is a few days later. I’m not one to make resolutions on New Year’s Eve, but have always done so on my birthday.

I’m a bit nervous, however, because I have to teach classes—fitness classes—during the four days in which I plan to eat nothing but sugar. Maybe something other than sugar will get eaten in those four days…
