You all must try this.  It was SO fast and easy to put together and required NO baking!  It tasted like pumpkin pie filling BUT instead is packed with nutrients!  This is NOT a low calorie food so don't "gobble" it all down :)

HALLOWEEN CANDY RULES
(how many calories and how hard is it to burn that stuff off anyway?)

VIEW on FOX Rochester

My mom agreed to go on the News with me last week and ride an exercise bike to burn off the Calories in the piece of candy I'm holding.  Yeah that's my mom!  I'm 36 and I'm not the oldest kid.  She is a great spokes person for our program AND Exercise / Nutrition in general!

4 Helpful Candy Rules:

1 - Don't buy it until the day before (if you already have...Danger!)
2 - Buy Candy you don't like
3 - Don't open the BIG bag - once you do you'll be more tempted
4 - Make a kids day - at the end of trick or treating dump all your candy in the last kids bag and turn out the light.  That kid will remember it forever!!!  (and you won't start your holiday weight gain early)

At anywhere from 20-120 Calories for a "fun sized" candy you could easily bring in an extra 500 calories per day in a couple bites.  Plus the high sugar content makes you more hungry...

Hey Friend,

Here's something to think about.  Thomas Edison has this great quote that I share in this 1 minute video.  It's definitely worth the time.  Success is tough to reach and tough to keep.  We need motivation like this to keep moving forward.  CLICK HERE or on the Picture below to see the 1 minute video. 

This dip is super FAST and EASY to make.  I usually have these ingredients on hand and can make it for a quick snack or appetizer.

Add it all to a blender or food processor.  Blend until smooth and you are ready to eat.  I use a mini food processor and that works great!

This is great as a veggie dip.

MY FAVORITE way to eat this is on a toasted piece of Ezekiel bread, thinly sliced radish on top and fresh black cracked pepper.  This is SO good and I feel like someone fancy made it for me to eat.

Hey Friend,

You may have seen this online but just in case you haven't it is a very shocking and hyping kind of statement that I said first in a class off the cuff.  I began thinking about it deeper and realized "Whoa, if we could get everyone doing these 3 things it could end the health care crisis!"  Of course getting people to do anything is the ultimate challenge, but maybe you can do these things for yourself to decrease your chances of having a personal health care crisis. 

You might have heard about these before but I find I need reminders constantly.

If you are local and want to hear a Faith based health and fitness talk I've got the honor to fill in at the West Bloomfield Congregational Church at 10 am THIS Sunday!  (https://wbccucc.org/)  I'm used to speaking but does it mean I'm preaching if it's in front of a church on Sunday?  :o)  (God help me represent You well!!!)
