What's on tap for your Saturday or your weekend?  Are you getting a workout in?  Challenging yourself one day?  Trying something new?  
Whatever it is I know and you know it will be worth it!  Go ahead and go for it.
I say this because it's all hard work.  I have always believed there is no such thing as luck = it's all about hard work!
I've done a lot this week, really pushed myself and I'm really sore.  I'm hoping you find a way to push yourself, too.  Getting out of your comfort zone is how we grow - and that's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual!  Just know it WILL be worth it!

Have fun this weekend!

And, by the way, my oldest son turns 16 tomorrow.  How did that happen?  I might get a little sad thinking about it. . .   

What challenges you?  What's out there you want to try?

DON'T BE SCARED OF THE HALLOWEEN CANDY!

So, if you are trying to be healthy and keep away from all of the junk and sugar we are constantly bombarded with, Halloween can be a bit SCARY!  All the temptation at every corner!  I have to be honest and confess that my sweet tooth often takes over and I will grab a piece of whatever concoction is in front of my face.  As long as I don't let that one piece turn into TWELVE, I think I can survive!   Therefore, just so you'll know what is what, here is what you can get for 100 CALORIES!  (and you can burn off about 100 calories by walking 1 MILE at a good pace).  If you can't get that mile in, or some other activity, you might need to think twice before indulging! 

                               100 CALORIE HALLOWEEN TREATS 

 3  1/3     snack size Twizzlers

 5            Starburst 

8             Dots

13  1/3     pieces of Brach’s Candy Corn

28            Milk Chocolate M&Ms

60            Smarties 

1  2/3       Snack Size Peppermint Patties

2              Twix Minis

1  1/2       Snack Size Kit Kats

3              Milky Way Midnight Minis

1  1/4       Snickers Fun Size Bars

4              Mini 3 Muskateers

4  1/2       Tootsie Roll Midgees

Depending on your craving, you can quench it with 100 calories, OR, you can take a walk until the craving disappears!   Whatever you decide, just keep moving!  That's the key! 


What's your favorite Halloween candy?  I don't have Almond Joy on the list, and that's the one I gotta have!  What's yours?
