What is the first thing you think of when you think "FALL"?
The weather finally getting cooler, though our 'fall' doesn't really happen till sometime in October!


Are you still exercising outside?

My bday & Halloween!

Are you still exercising outside? Is the weather a big factor in your exercise plans?

Its still pretty warm here so I haven't been walking in a while. Hopefully as it cools down my mom & I will re-start our walking.

What do you eat more of in the fall? Less of?

I find that I crave carbs as the weather gets cooler & it gets darker. Its a lot harder to eat fruit when you have less to choose from at the grocery, and its more expensive too.

Is the fall usually a good time for you exercise/eating wise? Or do you generally FALL off the wagon (groaaan, I know bad one. LOL)

I usually don't gain weight until the holidays. I'm hoping that won't happen this year though!

So are you FALLING into bad habits, or do you find the new season uplifting??

I will miss summer, but I think a change of season will inspire some personal change as well

What is the first thing you think of when you think "FALL"?

Brilliant tree leaf color.

No, I haven't been exercising at all, and I need to change that and hope to get some in before temps change too much.

What do you eat more of in the fall? Less of?
Warm soups (more of), fresh veggies (cost more)

I honestly haven't made an effort one way or the other. Eating better/getting fit has been a generally ignored concept for much of my life. This summer I was focused for a short time, got discouraged and I'm ready to hop back on the wagon again.

What is the first thing you think of when you think "FALL"? Two things-1) The changing leaves. Michigan is beautiful in the fall and 2) Only another month and a half (okay...MAYBE 2 months) until it starts snowing. Yuck!

What's fall? WE have summer and wet. No fall. lol. The first thing I think of is my b-day, how selfish, huh? But it IS in fall. :)

I'm not exercising, and well, I haven't found a safe area aroudn me to exercise outside, but when fall rolls around, it actually is the BEST time to go outside and excercise, cuz it's cool, only problem is when the time chnages and we have no more sun. For me, that sucks, cuz that means I go home in the dark. Harder to get goin.

What do you eat more of in the fall? Less of?
I think I eat more "hearty" foods. Whereas during summer, I tend to eat more fruit and less heavy stuff.

lol. Well, this year, I"m trying, no am DOING, getting back ON the wagon. :) Usually, it's never a good time, cuz of the upcoming holidays, however, it also helps me be more consious of what i'm eating and how much.
