I envy the person who can willfully walk by the candy aisle and not pick up a bag of those cute little Halloween candies. Surprisingly, my husband broke down and bought a bag of Kit Kats last night. He usually has a strong will. I think he felt bad that our daughter has been asking, "When, oh when are we going to get treats for our Halloween candy dishes displayed on our coffee table?" (Note to self: next year they stay in the box until October 31.) I had mixed emotions when I saw those come into my house. I LOVE chocolate, but how can I be a good supporter of others in my weight-loss group when I'm binging on chocolate??? Fortunately, our daughter ate most of them. Now there is a firm rule in our house. NO MORE HALLOWEEN CANDY until the morning of our daughter's Halloween party. I know the selection will be slim, but if it isn't in our house, I won't be tempted. I've also decided that we can make cute cookie pops or carmel apples as favors for the party rather than buying bags of candy for goody bags.
I was so excited to see an article on this very subject on Fitness Magazine Look for the Candy Lovers' Calorie Blaster. In just three easy moves you cancel out the candy you treated yourself to. Under each excercise is a note about how many calories you burned and the type of candy you may have eaten that are that many calories. For example, under the Power Jump exercise, you find that you burned off 80 calories or 2 Snickers Minis.

Boost Your Metabolism
In addition to exercise, there are some things you eat that will boost your metabolism.
1. It's fall, ya'all! Enjoy a sweet apple with a warm bowl of oatmeal. The apple (which can be enjoyed with each meal of the day) makes you feel full and takes care of your sweet tooth. Old fashioned oatmeal gives you the energy you need because it releases glucose slowly. This prevents the sugar rush then the awful crash that follows after eating most boxed cereal. I like to boil frozen blueberries in the water before adding oatmeal.
2. No fishy taste here! Usana's Biomega capsules have lemon oil added so there is no fishy aftertaste. It is also fortified with Vitamin D, Long-Chain Omega-3's EPA and DHA. Biomega increases your metabolism and energy levels and makes your skin glow! It also supports sound cardiovascular and joint health AND promotes healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. What an amazing little capsule!
3. Berry Good! Berries are high in fiber and give you less calories than you eat!
4. Snack on celery. Did you know you actually use more energy to digest and absorb celery than the calories you get from eating it?
5. Harvest cabbage...and broccoli and cauliflower. They greatly improve your metabolism.
6. Don't skip breakfast. It is important to eat within an hour of waking. If you don't, your body thinks you're starving and it then hangs onto fat for dear life! In a hurry? Enjoy a delicious Nutrimeal shake that will boost metabolism and give you energy (naturally) and nutrients you need.
