Goal: Done - No candy for 30 consecutive days - and counting

Okay . . . so my goal in theory seems very easy - do not eat candy. I did not even put any regulations on other sweets (ie. ice cream, cake, donuts, etc.) so you would think it should be even easier . . . I have to admit - it was much harder than I anticipated. I was actually telling Aaron this weekend that I had made it at least 40 days without any candy, haven't had a piece since the Sour Patch Kids at the last Board Meeting, and he asked if it was actually hard and giving me a hard time if you are not gonna eat it, just don't eat it. Now if you do not all know this is a guy that can have a bar of chocolate and just eat a square every 2, 3, 4, 8, 10 days . . . that is definitely not me - I would have great intentions but 1 square would become 2 squares would become the whole bar. As I have stated before in this blog candy is just a sort of easy grab for me . . . I do not think anything of grabbing 5 miniature Hershey's and that was what was the difficult part - being conscious of that. I actually caught myself a few times walking out of the office and grabbing a Laffy Taffy and actually having to put it back. I am pretty sure I cannot go my whole life without ever eating another piece of candy but I am liking the run so far. As for the cards . . . I have 5 done . . . that means a helluva lot of writing within the next few days. SO YES, only 1 of my challenges is done. Will keep you posted on the cards next week.

BTW: Dori and Johanna . . . congrats - you both are doing awesome!!! I am not sure where everyone else is so this is out to you :)
