Hey everyone
Now is the time that so many of us struggle with our fitness and weight gain.
Holiday parties, Halloween, thanksgiving...
How do you get through it without adding the holiday pounds?
my top 2 (there are more) tips to keep you on the good side of the holidays.
1 - Exercise the day of your event -
Get in a good circuit, full body workout. Utilize, weights, bands, body weight, and cardio moves of your choice. Pick your favorite 4 exercises (or check my favorites over to the side of the page)- 20 reps or 20 seconds high intensity for a minimum of 4 rounds. Try for 6 rounds for maximum calorie burn.
2 - Be aware of how much you are eating and drinking -
Be sure to eat before you go to an event (extra tip) and try to not stand near a snack table while socializing. Also if you are having multiple courses, be aware of your portion sizes. don't be bashful about eating only a small portion of everything rather than finishing everything - if you finish it all you could be running up to 2000+ calories. Yikes.
More Holiday survival tips soon.....
And the BEST way of all to kill of the calories is of course training with your friends and me at Boot Camp. http://www.lefeverwellness.com/ for info.
Our next session starts THIS week and runs up to thanksgiving. Just in time.

Dieters Beware!!
It’s the beginning of the new season.
Not the fall season, but “Fat” season. It actually starts at Halloween, not Thanksgiving or the December holidays.
----Most of us have done it, talked about it, even joked about it…the 5 or more holiday pounds we start putting on about now.
I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of gaining weight this time of year and trying to lose it after January with a meaningless resolution.
Well, actually I do know about you, and I know you don’t like it either!!
____________________________________________________________________
Ok, so let’s work together this year and do something different…Let’s NOT put on the holiday pounds!
My goal is to be asked the questions (and I’m expecting to hear back from you that you were asked)…..”Hey, are you losing weight?” “How did you do that with the all the junk food and holiday parties?”
Being successful in keeping off the extra fat pounds will take some planning and effort.
This is the first of a couple of “Slim” holiday newsletters with tips to help you make a positive change for yourself and your families by staying healthy and avoiding the holiday fat.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are a few tips to keep the pounds off and still enjoy a Halloween treat.
1) One of the biggest things is to delay buying any candy until closer to Halloween!!!!! If it’s in your house, it presents an unnecessary temptation. How often do you eat something just because its there?
2) Allow yourself just one piece of candy (small size) in the morning and then one at night. Skip any desserts that you would normally eat after dinner.
3) Only buy enough candy so that you expect to run out before the evening is over. It’s crucial to weight loss success to not have “trigger” foods lying around – the temptation is often too great.
4) Increase your exercise activity with one of our fat burning circuits or the Fit Body Band Program (http://www.fitbodybandprogram.com/) every day that you eat your two pieces of candy. This will help counteract the increase in calories that you are consuming.
5) If you indulge a bit too much it’s important to forgive yourself and move on. (Enroll in the boot camps to get back on track) Dwelling on the past will not help your success.
6) Substitute your chocolate fix with something healthier. Fruit veggies or (my favorite) a peanut butter Craver (http://lefeverwellness.getprograde.com/)
