Savoring the Season: How to Avoid Overindulging in Halloween Candy


Halloween is just around the corner, and it's that time of the year when deliciously tempting treats fill our homes. I understand the importance of maintaining a balanced and healthy diet, while indulging in some Halloween candy.


However, it's essential to do so in moderation. Let's explore practical strategies to help you savor the season without going overboard on the Halloween candy.

  1. Mindful Treat Selection: When you're faced with a pile of Halloween candy, choose your treats mindfully. Select your absolute favorites and savor them slowly. Prioritize quality over quantity. Enjoying a few high-quality chocolates is often more satisfying than consuming a large quantity of low-quality candy.

  2. Set Clear Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries for yourself and your family. Decide in advance how much candy you'll allow yourself and your kids to consume each day. This helps create a sense of control and prevents mindless snacking.

  3. Portion Control: Use small containers or bags to portion out your Halloween candy. This way, you can control your portions and avoid the "grab and eat" habit. Limit the daily portion to a reasonable size, and once it's gone, you're done for the day.

  4. Share and Donate: Encourage the spirit of sharing and giving by allowing your family to share some of their Halloween candy with friends, or even better, consider donating some to a local charity or food bank. It's a win-win situation, as it reduces excess candy consumption and promotes a sense of community.

  5. Healthy Alternatives: Offer healthier alternatives alongside the candy. This can include fresh fruit, yogurt, or homemade treats that are lower in sugar and higher in nutritional value. Having these options readily available can help satisfy your sweet tooth without overindulging in candy.

  6. Plan Active Family Activities: As a fitness enthusiast who loves being active, use the Halloween season as an opportunity to engage in fun, physically active family activities. Take a walk, go for a bike ride, or play a game of tag. Being active can help counterbalance the extra calories from the candy.

  7. Avoid Candy After a Certain Hour: Set a specific "candy curfew" time. Avoid consuming candy in the evening or late at night to prevent unwanted sugar crashes and disrupted sleep.

Halloween can be a fun and enjoyable time without sacrificing your health and wellness. By implementing these strategies, you can strike a balance between indulging in some Halloween candy and maintaining your commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Remember, it's all about moderation and mindful choices.


Enjoy the season, savor your treats, and stay active to make the most of this spooktacular time of year!

rewrite 'Time continues to fly and here we are at the end of October with November knocking just around the corner. You are going to start seeing a lot of 'new year, new you type posts,' and I am of the mindset, 'WHY WAIT? Start today!' If you start making changes to be healthier today, you are ahead of the game in the new year. A few things I have been focused on this week that keep me on point: More Mobility: A regular mobility practice for women enhances flexibility, reduces the risk of injuries, and promotes overall physical well-being. Long story short, some stretching = less pain, win! If you are interested in your own mobility plan, shoot me an email! More water: Full transparency, I am a pretty good water drinker, but by the time I get to the afternoon, I am a little bored, so for an afternoon boost, I add LMNT to one container. More hydration plus bonus nutrients. More weights. If you read nothing else in this newsletter, if you lift heavier weights you will NOT get bulky. Heavier weights will build strong muscles and help you lean out and feel stronger.'

As October comes to a close and November peeks around the corner, you might notice an influx of "new year, new you" posts. But why wait? I believe in starting your journey to a healthier you today! This week, my focus has been on three key elements to keep me on track:

  1. Prioritizing Mobility: Incorporating a regular mobility practice for women can significantly enhance flexibility, reduce the risk of injuries, and boost overall physical well-being. In short, a little stretching goes a long way in reducing discomfort. If you're interested in crafting your own mobility plan, feel free to shoot me an email!

  2. Staying Hydrated: While I'm generally good at drinking water, I sometimes find myself getting a bit bored by the afternoon. To jazz things up and ensure I stay well-hydrated, I've been adding LMNT to one of my containers. It's not only about more hydration but also those extra nutrients for a bonus boost.

  3. Embracing Weight Training: If there's one thing you take away from this newsletter, remember that lifting heavier weights won't make you bulky. Instead, it helps build strong, lean muscles and makes you feel more powerful.

So, let's not wait for the new year to make positive changes – let's start today and stay ahead of the game!
