Holiday Reset!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween! The weather was beautiful, and I really enjoyed seeing everyone outside and getting some steps in while reconnecting with neighbors. I chased my kids around for trick or treating, and even got some good upper body work out since my friend’s toddler decided I was her preferred method of transportation. You can’t say no to a 2 year old in a care bear costume - it’s just plain fact!

Holidays are notoriously challenging for people who are trying to stick to a healthy diet, or control their blood sugar and keep their blood pressure and cholesterol down. Halloween of course is no exception! I’m a firm believer in ‘everything in moderation’ so no guilt today if you had more than a few pieces of candy yesterday. BUT today is a good day to do a reset, and it’s starts with getting the temptation out of the house!

A great way to do this is through donation programs, such as Treats for Troops. There are various locations collecting left over Halloween candy to send to our military around the world, to show them we are thinking of them and we appreciate them. I definitely plan to be a donation center once my new office is up and running, but check the link above for places that are accepting candy now!

Also looks like our streak of beautiful weather continues into the weekend, so I hope everyone can get outside and enjoy!
