“I am amazed by the fact that my body is changing before my eyes!” “I can’t believe I’m actually doing it, I’m actually living healthy like I always wanted to.” It is no longer something I should do, wish I could do, got to find time too… I am Doing It! There is nothing more freeing than that. And the inches are flying off, my skinny clothes are starting to fit, and I love the way I am stronger and more toned than I ever have been. No more Flabby Ab-ies for me! I have never tried any exercise or nutrition program before. I have gone through phases of eating healthy and eating horribly. I’ve read a few nutrition books which led me in the right direction for healthy eating when I chose to do it. But I would quickly succumb to buying and making the “easy” meals. - I thought healthy eating all the time was too hard and expensive. - The only exercise I have done is to walk 30 minutes a day…for a few days.

Did I scare you? Good! It is important you realize that many holiday weight loss efforts may actually be leading you to gain weight over the holidays. Halloween is the season when your holiday weight gain really begins. How could it not with all the bowls of free candy lying around. Treats at the workplace, treats at the bank, treats sent home with your kids, treats underneath your car seat…so it is not just ONE day of a candy free-for-all, it is All Month Long! Here’s 3 Halloween Tricks and you can turn Halloween into your Holiday Weight Loss Solution!

6 Steps to Pumpkin Carving Fun I forgot how fun it was to carve a pumpkin ~ appreciate it even more so now that Tyler is older and really gets into it. I can say I am impressed with his artistic abilities. He drew what he wanted the pumpkin to look like and gave me tips as I carved away. I loved how this activity piqued his curiosity as he was full of questions throughout the process. Plus we discussed a fun way to keep Halloween Healthy for you and your family! Enjoy and be sure to let us know if you too carve your own pumpkin! Be on the lookout for a follow up “How To Make Pumpkin Seeds” video and of course, the exciting Halloween Workout video all next week!

What do you think? Last year I kicked off the holiday season with a fun Halloween Workout dressed as Olivia Newton John using only a pumpkin! Great fun, right? So this year I have to somehow match that….and I am stuck! I have a list if ideas but nothing seems to pop off the page. So I am putting this out there to ask for your help. The only thing I ask is that you keep in mind that I actually have to workout with this costume – which is what shot some of my fun ideas down ; ) To make it even more fun, I will choose the Top 3 Costume Suggestions for a Free Halloween Workout Downloadable Video – which will be the full Halloween workout and workout log. Contest will run from now, October 20th to Sunday, October 25th. I will post the winners of the contest and the new Halloween Workout video, complete with costume next week!

Not feeling so so good, but are worried about breaking the fat loss progress you have made? “What’s the best workout to do when I am sick?” “What can I do to make up for lost time?” “What the best workout strategy to help me get back on track?” First and MOST Important is that you know that it is absolutely fine to take time off from your workout plan when you are sick. REST is the #1 prescription when it comes to recovering from whatever sickness you may be fighting. Nutrition is #2 and I’ll cover that one in a moment. If you have a bout with that notorious bug that seems to make its way around quite quickly, do not fall prey to the pressure to try to workout during this time or make up for time that is lost because of it. Taking this approach will only cause more harm than good.
