103/365 Happy Halloween

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

I hope you had a Happy Halloween! I know that I did. Reasons for that include these:

1. Candy - I consumed maybe 2 pieces of candy this Halloween. I know that this statement would not have been true 2 or 5 years ago. As I get older, I know that I can't keep eating terrible "food" without having to face the consequences later. A "fun-size" piece of candy generally has 100 calories and Lord knows what else so far as trans fats or ingredients goes.

2. Water - I said it before and I'll say it again: drink water! The fall season cools your skin immediately so you don't realize how much water you are losing to the environment. You just don't feel thirsty. My friend Adam and I decided that playing "drinking games" to rehydrate ourselves would be most advantageous during fall and after a night out with friends.

3. Being outside - Seriously folks, enjoy autumn! The colors are scintillating and the air is crisp. Bike around, take a walk, hear the crunch of leaves under your feet.

364 more days until we can do it all again. Happy Halloween!

In health,

Lauren
