Fat Time

Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas might make it a little easier to eat. Other then Halloween you don't necessarily have to watch what you eat. Right now you still might be looking over at the Halloween bowl that's sitting there on the kitchen table full of sugary sweets and chocolates. You do need to watch those. To much sugar can make you tired during the day. Not to mention the cavity watch for your teeth and the weight watch on your scale.
But during the year how often can you say that you eat a full meal? I don't mean a meal that fills you up but a meal that covers the majority of the food pyramid. Thanksgiving and Christmas are probably two meals you eat full. Not only that, but with all the left overs from Thanksgiving how often do you heat them up? Probably a few times which gives you a few extra full meals.
But if you live closer up north you may realize winter is approaching pretty fast. Or at least the weather is. The days get shorter and you become much more likely to stay inside rather then get out. You will be more tempted to eat then you are in the warm months. A few ways to make it a little easier is to surround yourself with healthier choices. Fruits, nuts, granola are all snacks that are healthier. Nuts actually are proven to be quite filling so if you just need something quick and small there you go.
One of the easiest ways (in my opinion) to offset weight gain during the winter and to stay in shape is weights. I think it is so much easier to lift weights in the winter then in the summer and if you are going to put on weight at least you'll give your body the ability to convert it to muscle. When someone mentions weights people automatically think heavy weights and big muscles but that is not the case. There are multiple ways to lift weights. One way is for strength. Strength is high weight and low reps. Then there is for muscle mass. Mass lifting is with a little less weight but higher reps. Then there is endurance lifting which is much less weight but way more reps. Any of which can keep you in shape during the winter. Don't let the cold months become the fat months.
Keep your goals in mind and body fit.
