Happy Halloween!



If your day started out like mine, you walked past a giant bowl of treats ready for tonight.....did you avoid it or dig in?  I resisted because I had a pumpkin oatmeal bar from my domesticate bff cortney- recipe to come because it was amazingly tasty!  It was filled with pumpkin, oatmeal, raisins and flavor.  She topped it off with peanut butter and fresh berries.  pretty sure this is about to become a staple at my house!  back to the candy bowl, i plan to avoid this temptation all day but if you can't, try to only have one piece!! save the rest for your company at the door tonight!  time to get sweating with a spooktacularly FUN work out below.  all you need is a set of weights or a fairly good size pumpkin!  Times a wasting, start working it!  Happy Halloween Everyone!
