IF THERE IS ONE THING I’ve learned right now, it’s not to start your indisputable abs effort in October. Why? At the exact same time you’re trying to cut out anything with high concentrations of refined sugar, all the stores start putting up their Halloween displays with big packages of candy everywhere. Worse yet, the prices are so low it’s hard not to ignore them.
For me, it’s Butterfingers. I don’t eat them often, but I’ve been nearly derailed by a few big displays already this year. So far, I’ve managed to avoid buying a bag.
Plus, You’re Starting to Hibernate
In addition to the Halloween candy fest, I believe there’s an unconscious desire in our bodies to put a little fat on the winter and slow down to conserve energy. Daylight hours are fading, and it’s harder than ever to get up early in the morning to workout.
Then, assuming you survive October, Thanksgiving is on the way, followed quickly by December’s holiday action. I don’t what the holidays are like at your house, but at my house they’re full of food, snacks, football on TV, and beer.
On the upside, if you can survive October through December with your abs still showing, you can get through anything.
Ahh . . . Halloween candy! Don't stop -- walk right on by!

Green Tea is the savior! Made it through last night with no after dinner snacks due to this. It did take two cups but it has to be better than after dinner carb loads.
