A Candy Dilemma...

The last couple weeks have been rough as far as eating well and keeping up with my exercise routine. I’ve been working too many hours, traveling and to cap it off Halloween was last night. Don’t get me wrong… I love Halloween! Short of Christmas, there’s nothing more fun than getting my kids all dressed up and going door-to-door to collect the goodies.

 

So… on top of not having worked out or eaten well lately, now I have a house full of candy and an insatiable appetite for chocolate. So I guess that leaves me with two choices: start eating healthier, get back in the gym and enjoy the candy in moderation. Or… enjoy the candy now and get back to my health once it’s all gone.

 

Station break: I can’t believe the ending to the college football game I just watched. I cannot believe Texas Tech came back to beat Texas on a last second play!!!

 

Back to my dilemma: I guess when you put it down in writing there’s really one logical choice. Notice I said logical and not responsible… All kidding aside, Halloween is a great time and most any treat is okay – as long as it’s in moderation.

Hi, I'm Jason and I've always been very active (softball, running marathons, Judo) and will try just about any sport or activity at least once - my long term goal is to compete in an Ironman triathlon before I turn 40 (only a year and a half left...). Taking personal responsibility for one's health has always been a guiding principle of mine, so much so that I've been able to help some close friends adopt healthier lifestyles. Through unique approaches to health, such as Ignite, I get to share my own experiences and learn from you. After all, regardless of who our employer is, we're all health care consumers.
