Well, it is officially fall! There is nothing quite like snuggling up in a blanket, with a hot cup of tea, watching a movie on a chilly Sunday afternoon. That is of course, after you have gotten to your workout, and have enjoyed a healthy breakfast and lunch.
Often times, people fall into the trap of “FALL”. It starts to get cold, and we crave comfort food. We aren’t showing quite as much skin, so it is easy to cover up a couple of extra pounds with a chunky sweater. Of course, we can’t forget the Holiday goodies that start to pop up. It is really easy to forget about our health and wellness goals, and to just give into temptation.
Make it your choice this year not to “FALL” backwards, but to keep moving forwards. Chose 3 goals for the next three months and REACH THEM. They can be as easy as getting rid of soda, eliminating artificial sugar, introducing kale to your diet, applying to a new job, or cleaning out that closet of yours. Goals don’t need to be wild and crazy, but they have to exist. They need to be REAL to you.
So, FALL=Pumpkin
