Spooktacular… Not!
Yesterday I blogged about how I wished they would ban sugar in the office like they do cigarettes. If you want to eat your evil candy… take it outside people!!! Stop trying to tempt me with it! So today, I get in and there are flyers posted about a pot luck that I had forgotten about. And the potluck is titled "Spooktacular Treats". And it’s located right next to my desk. That’s right, the potluck is entirely SWEETS… no protein, no veggies, no cheese trays, nothing at all good for me or acceptable for me to eat. 
And I swear that they have the hose venting all of those yummy smells right into my workstation. It’s just not fair! Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
This isn’t helped by the fact that I have had less than 2 hours of sleep. My own fault entirely. I took a new supplement later in the afternoon yesterday before knowing how it would affect me. I thought that I would have plenty of time before bed for any effects to dissipate. Apparently not, because I could not get to sleep last night. I tossed and turned and every time I would doze off I would jerk awake and realize that only 30 minutes had gone by. So I’m not at my best today. And the lure of sweets isn’t helping matters. But so far I have managed to stay away from ALL of the treats. I’m going to go down to the cafeteria in a bit and get some fruit. Hopefully that will help keep me away from the treats!

Slowly - inch by inch - (when no one is looking of course) push the display to the next workstation!

That makes it tough when its so close…but makes the victory over temptation sweeter…
I hate those restless nights, and the hangover it causes the next day. Hope you sleep well tonight.

Just remember that it’s not the 2nd or 3rd piece of candy that’s creates the problem!!!
It’s the first one that will take you down!!!
Good Luck , Stay Strong!!!

Oh, that’s a bad situation. Sugar and lack of sleep. Stay strong.
If I take SP250 for an evening workout, that’s what happens, but I haven’t been taking anything for a while, though it sounds like those fat burners are the worst and I haven’t touched those. No side effects.

there has been a candy bowl at my office for 2 weeks and i havent touched it.
if it helps, think of all the bare hands that have gone in there and the germs that they have left behind.

You could try using my war analogy. Think of all that fattening, teeth-rotting, horrible candy and junk food as being the fat enemy that has you under assault today.
Bastion yourself against it and fight!
