New Season, New Opportunities - 5 Ways to make Fall a Fit Healthy Season


Fall is my favorite season. The air is crisp, the leaves change color, pumpkins are everywhere and it's the beginning of the Holiday season. Hot cups of coffee, big sweaters, leggings and uggs are high on the list too. 


This is a picture I took of my littles last year at our favorite pumpkin patch. It's the same pumpkin patch Caleb and I have been going to every year even before we were married. It's a tradition that I look forward too.



I woke up to this sweet boy saying "Hey Mom! Did you know the pumpkins roll on train tracks? And then the express train comes and pushes it to the station?" He'd been up since 5 am playing "pumpkin trains" in his room.


I love what fall brings!

A new season, new opportunity to create family memories of pumpkin patches, fall fun and most importantly the opportunity to appreciate and be thankful for the new mercies Jesus brings us each day.

"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." - Psalm 118:24

What is it that you love about Fall? 

Don't wait until the new year to start your working on your health and fitness goals!

 Here are a few things you can do this Fall season to stay on track:

1. Exercise 30 minutes a day! 30 minutes of exercise is only 2% of your day. We spend more time on social media than that! 



2. Limit treats to 1-2 a week: It's ok to enjoy a slice of pumpkin pie or even a delicious cup of pumpkin spiced coffee in moderation. Limit your self to one or two treats a week to stay on track with your goals.

3.Track what you eat: Myfitness pal App is great app to use, or if you are following the 21 Day Fix plan there is an app you can download as well :)

4. Outdoor Activities: Plan active fall fun for you and your family! Apple picking, hiking trains, running around corn mazes at the pumpkin patch. There are lots of ways to enjoy the season and burn some calories too.



5. Join a Accountability Group: Having a group of people that you check in with each day that are all working on their own health and fitness journeys is a great way to stay inspired and accountable! If you'd like to join one of our challenge groups comment below with your email address. I'd love to talk to you and help you find the group that is just right for you :)
