Did you know...the size of fun?

Hopefully, not XXXXL! OK, so maybe this comes home with the Trick-or-Treaters. On average, a "fun size" bar is 70 calories. Let's say on Halloween, with all the excitement, you eat 5....350 calories. We all know how early the candy comes out in stores. So let's say (at work and home) you've hit those "fun size" bars for over a week. 350 calories x 10 days in October =3500 calories. Ring a bell? Yep, that's the calories in a lb. Moving up a pants size...that ain't fun! Planning more trips to the gym to burn it off...well, that is fun...but not good on the joints or the psyche!:)

***NOTE: Please attend the Form Seminar on Sunday Nov. 8, 10-noon. As you know, on the fly, at the class pace of 30 sec. to 1 min., is not the time to learn the movement. Moreover, the more exercises people know, the more creative we can get. Do your part to make this group fitness work!

What kind of lame houses are you going to that only give out mini candy bars. You need the full size ones to really do some damage!!

Technically, I would have been "implying" and you would be the one "inferring"...and by that, I'm implying....:)

CA: not mini..."fun size"...and we did get some old school big Snickers bars @ 280 cals a-pop...it's weird, but I can hardly stomach the full-size (even though I can take down battalions of the "fun" ones)!

BTW, this is Matt_D, not Jan_D.
