Hi sister and welcome back to the Sexyfit podcast! We are heading into the season when we tend to run into candy bowls on every step - on the street, at our working place, our friends' places and our own home. Do you know that on average Americans gain 10-12 pounds during the holiday season? Therefore I want to give you some quick tips for how to avoid gaining weight and be on top of your fitness journey at this time of the year.

Let's be clear on one thing. I have nothing against eating candies and chocolate but it tends to become a mindless behavior during these days because candies and food are just everywhere.

So I’m here to make sure you have the strategies and tips to stay on track but still enjoy all the treats you love.

Here are my tips for how to avoid gaining weight this holiday season:  

• If you want to have a candy bowl at home or at office, buy the candy that you don’t like so you'll be less likely to eat it.
• Set the limit for how much candy you’re going to eat.
• Have some candy after workout. It will refuel your glycogen stores and get your sugar level back to normal.
• Save your wrappers because that way you can clearly see how much candy you've had.
• Before you reach out for a candy, slow down and take a deep breath. Ask yourself why you want that candy. Is there another option?
• Get more active. Sign up for Halloween race or plan activities with your kids instead of eating the leftovers at home.
• Leave some treats for yourself and donate the rest.

Thanks for listening sister! Now it's all about taking action. Look at some races, look for the places where you can donate candy and for the ways you can feel like you're giving and serving.
