Hope everyone had a fun Halloween! Here are a couple of post-Halloween links to check out this weekend.
I don’t know about you, but I still have three large bowls of candy on the table in my living room–and that’s after a Halloween party and several days of snacking!
I randomly came across this link in an email and was pleasantly surprised. This organization works with local dentists to buy back leftover Halloween candy at $1/pound. The dentists then send the candy to Operation Gratitude, who distributes it to U.S. soldiers deployed in harm’s way. What a great way to get rid of extra candy and hopefully brighten someone’s day! Take a look–you can search for your closest participating dentist, and there’s information for those would like to help set up a candy collection event.

If you’ve been indulging in some snacking as well and are looking to work it off, check out this site–this is by far the most helpful nutrition and weight loss tool I’ve come across. Track meals, workouts, and browse a huge library of meal recipes and workout ideas. Even if you don’t have a gym membership, there’s a large number of articles with exercises you can do at home. This site introduced me to kettlebell training–my new favorite way to work out!
