Hello everyone!
I hope you had a safe and happy Halloween! I know I had a great time handing out treats to all the kids in my neighborhood! But you know I couldn’t help myself and was telling them all to not eat everything tonight!
One of the best things about Halloween is that it signals the beginning of the Holiday Season. I love getting bundled up and taking walks through my neighborhood and seeing how everyone decorates their homes. The crunching of the leaves under my feet and the cup of hot chocolate waiting for me at the end of it all! Taking these winter walks is a great way to combat all the food that we are exposed to over the Holidays.
I want to again stress moderation. Distribute your kids’ Halloween candy over several months. Don’t let them stay inside and snack just because it’s cold. Reward them with a treat after an hour or so of daily exercise. I just saw a commercial for the NFL’s “Play 60” campaign. It is encouraging kids to get outside and play every day for 60 minutes. This is an awesome idea.
If your kids hate the cold, but love to play, there are indoor facilities popping up all over the place that offer indoor soccer, baseball, basketball and deck hockey. And of course, there is my exercise DVD and guidebook to a Healthy Lifestyle available on my website: www.mykidsbfit.com. This DVD would make a great Holiday gift for your kids or your friends who have kids! You can see some of the exercises on the website as well.
So as Winter approaches, remember to indulge in moderation, exercise regularly and get off that couch and into the fresh air!
Take care - Diana
