I Want Candy!

In 1982, Bow Wow Wow recorded a cover version of The Strangeloves' single "I Want Candy".

It was not the greatest song of the 80's, although it was one of the most repeated songs. And, it was catchy to say the least. I bet you're singing it to yourself right now!

IIIIII Want Candy! ... Bum ... Bum ... Bum ... ... Bum Bum! ... IIIIII Want Candy!

So why am I bring up 28 year old one-hit wonders? Easter of course!

Yes, Easter, one of the most candy-filled days of the year. The only time you can find random candy in brightly-colored vessels lying across the ground. A cornucopia of chocolate eggs, coins, bunnies and bars. One of the great days of the year.

So how did I fare on this day as it relates to my weight-loss challenge?

I ATE A LOT OF CANDY!

I can't deny it. I ate my share, that's for sure. But it's OK, because it's once a year and I enjoyed watching my two year old daughter pass up the eggs that didn't have candy (If it was hard-boiled, it got tossed right back to the ground).

So I'm back on track, with my roasted chicken breast sub for lunch (For more information, see a previous post about underground commuter trains).

Spring has sprung. Get outside and enjoy it!
