Here’s the intro and first Don’t…..Halloween is the start of the Holiday weight gain season. There is confusion and clickbait about how to manage your health, weight and fitness during these more indulgent months. Here’s our DO’s and DON’Ts of how to enjoy some Halloween without derailment:
DON’T set yourself up for failure. If you’re like me, then buying a $20 bag of Reese’s today means have $0 worth of candy left to give out on the 31st. (Also, the $20 was the sale price. I couldn’t bring myself to spend that much on candy, so I guess inflation has a sliver lining?) Don’t buy bags of your most favorite candy, buy the stuff you don’t like.
For instance, if I got a bag of Sour Patch Kids, or candy corn those candies are safe from me. Also, have a plan for what to do with the leftover candy – you can donate to the USO, or other places, or you can simply throw it out… one way or another, if it’s in your house, it’s in your mouth, so know how you’re going to get rid of it.
Fun story on the restraining power of strength: I’ve been having my daughters do regular strength training and grip work for a few years now. It’s great to see that they’re not afraid to stand up to bullies, nor for their friends. They’re also not afraid to defend their candy against their dad.
Last Halloween, I put my hand into my eldest’s basket (she was 10) and she grabbed my wrist. I thought, “I’ll just wiggle out and eat this candy,” but I could not move my hand! I said, “let go of my hand!” She said, “let go of my candy!” I tried to wiggle out again, and failed, so I dropped the candy. What a bittersweet mixture of pride and disappointment.
