Happy Halloween!

                                                                      Those abs are real :)

Halloween is for scary stuff. Mostly just pretend scary stuff, but scary stuff nonetheless.

But you want to know what's truly scary? All that candy, sugar, and junk food. Forget the horror movies, the haunted houses, and the 70s costumes, the real frightening stuff is the crap you're feeding yourself in the name of fun. Now before, I go any further, let me just say Halloween is what it is and kids should be kids on this day and eat some candy.  However, consider it a cheat DAY, let them eat what they want tonight and then get rid of what's left.  Don't let the smorgasbord of stuffing your face with sugar continue the rest of the week, for them or for you.  
I've thought of ways to celebrate the holiday by handing out something to kids that is somewhat healthy. Is that possible? Maybe fried eggs in Ziploc baggies...lol j/k! Maybe raisin boxes or individual packets of almonds would be a better solution. I am contemplating requiring burpees before any handouts, though. 10 burpees per raisin box! We're going to be the not very fun house at the end of the street this year! ;) Something just bothers me about handing out Snickers, M&Ms, and Smarties to innocent little children. It's like turning them on to drugs, but somehow our society says it's okay.

How are you handling Halloween? Are your kids going to come home with pillowcases full of candy? Are you going to let them eat it? What are you handing out?

To Do List

Can you:
Dribble the length of a court and score while defended? 
Nail a 3 pointer in a game? 
Score a goal off of a corner kick? 
Play an instrument on stage? 
Type 60 words per minute? 
Draw a likeness of your best friend in a sketch? 
Hit a breaking receiver for a touchdown? 
Ride a mountain bike on singletrack? 
Surf an overhead wave? 
Fold 20 different paper airplanes? 
Score in the top 1,000 scores of Angry Birds? 
Drive a Forumla car in a race? 
Shoot a round of golf in 5 over par? 
Bowl five strikes in a game? 
Paint a painting for display in a gallery? 
Throw a frisbee 50 yards with accuracy, consistently? 
Write a screenplay? 
Have a photograph published in a magazine? 

Would mastering any one of these depend on from what skill level you started and how many hours you were willing to put in to doing it every week? Given your current life and that you're probably not doing it now, how long do you think it would take you to master any one of these? 6 months? A year? More?

Do you have a different expectation for mastering your health and fitness? Do you get frustrated when you don't hit meet your goals in a month? Do you quit after 6 months (or less)? Do you practice every day as if it were a skill you wanted to master? 

If you were to practice mastery around your health and fitness, what are the skills that would be on your list? How long will you give yourself?
