Ghost Bandana for a Hot Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Sadie is all dressed up for Halloween in her ghost bandana. We decided against her pumpkin shirt for the day because it’s too hot outside.

It’s still crazy to me that Halloween is quite often hot in Florida.

Growing up in Illinois, I remember trying to figure out ways to wear jackets without covering costumes.

I loved my Energizer bunny costume when I was in sixth grade because I was able to wear a pink sweat suit and stay warm!

Though I’m not dressing up today, I am excited that we may have trick-or-treaters this evening! Now that we live in a neighborhood, I’m assuming kids will stop by for candy. I still need to run our and buy some! Rest assured, I will not be giving out any of the  candy that we deemed “The Worst Halloween Candy.”

Workout

Though I’m sure bucket loads of candy will be consumed this evening as I pass it out to kids, I started the morning on a healthy note and squeezed in a quick workout at the gym.

After 20 minutes on the elliptical, I did a leg workout that included the following exercises:

• Lunges
• Step-ups
• Deadlifts
• One-legged leg press
• Stability ball squats
• One-legged leg extensions

I kept my weight lighter than usual to hopefully avoid soreness since I want my legs to be in the best condition possible for Saturday’s half marathon.

Breakfast

Breakfast was an egg sandwich made with two fried eggs, a whole wheat English muffin, jelly and muenster cheese.

Now I’m hoping to get some work done before I take a quick lunchtime break to the grocery store to pick up candy to have on hand tonight. I’m thinking KitKats this year!

Questions of the Day

• What was your best Halloween costume?
• What was the best Halloween costume you’ve seen someone else wear?

I think my best costume was the Energizer bunny costume. As for someone else, I remember a girl in my elementary school dressing up as a gumball machine (balloons served as her gumballs) and her costume was amazing!
