Fall is here, and that means there’s going to be pumpkins everywhere! Pumpkin Spice Lattes, pumpkin pie, Halloween candy—in other words, there are going to be so many deterrents to try to get us off our clean and healthy and fit routine. So I’m going to give you some tips to help you stay the course through Fall, because as the weather gets colder there’s comfort food and drinks everywhere! So here are three tips to get you through the Fall, without falling off your plan! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun!)

1. Avoid places where you know you can’t control yourself. We all have those places, whether it’s your favorite local coffee shop, or your favorite restaurant. If you can’t control yourself, just don’t go in there! You know that if you go in you’re going to walk out of there again with that Pumpkin Spice Latte, or that chicken fried steak! So if you know you can’t control yourself in those places, just avoid them.

2. Look for healthy substitutes of your favorite types of dishes. You can go online and Google a healthy recipe for your favorite comfort meal, or maybe make the Pumpkin Spice Latte a little better by using skim milk, maybe—I’m not an expert on the coffee drinks! But you get the idea, look for a healthier alternative or twist. 

3. Find—and keep!—a workout routine that you like to do. Beachbody is great for providing a variety of different workout plans, so that way you choose the one that really fits your workout style, and the time that you have available. If you need help picking one out, that’s what I’m here for! I’m here to help you find the routine that best suits you! You can reach out to me through my website, or through Facebook. I love it when you message me on Facebook! 

I hope this helps you get through the fall months! It’s such a beautiful time of year and we should enjoy it, but I want to make sure you have the ammunition you need to stay on course with your fitness goals.
