I’ve got a fun sized list of tips for the Friday Five Halloween theme today. Good Humor me and check them out. They might just give you a Snicker. Then check out the posts from the 3 Muskateers our hosts Mar, Cynthia & Courtney
Β
1. Eat-Don’t skip meals on Halloween. Going into the night hungry only leads to a meltdown besides, no one likes to be around a sour patch.
2. Get it done-Plan to get those Tootsies moving early Friday and get that workout out done in time for Trick or Treating.
3. Get rid of it-Donate left over loot to Operation Gratitude or to your local food pantry/shelter. You’ll Skor some major points with that move.
4. Plan a weekend with Mounds of activity. There are lots of Halloween themed races and Pumpkin patches to explore.
5. Relax-It’s only one day! A few extra M&M’s won’t keep you from looking like a Hot Tamale tomorrow.
Happy Halloween ~Hugs & Kisses
What are you & your little Runts up to tonight??
Pam and Christine says
We are going to a Halloween party tonight! First one in many years and we are actually wearing the gypsy and pirate costumes I made over 20 years ago! Of course I had to get a few new things to freshen them up!
Deborah Brooks says
Sounds like fun-Happy Halloween!
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
I feel like people definitely need to relax about Halloween. The greatest concern should be for your kid’s safety! And by that, I mean not killing THEM for getting too hyper off of the candy π
Deborah Brooks says
Yes that is the most important thing. I’ve already eaten a few samples just to make sure that they are safe and all π
Coco says
Hah! Love this! Don’t forget to look up at the Milky Way when you are out trick or treating!
Deborah Brooks says
Oh yes! Good one to add π
Annmarie says
So cute! LOVE this! π
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! Having fun with it this year
Debbie @ Deb Runs says
Very cute! I have “Mounds” of energy, so I’m heading out with my hubby for a trail run; and yes, I’ll watch out for leaf covered rocks!
Happy halloween!
Deborah Brooks says
Have a great time!
Lacey@fairytalesandfitness says
I have no plans. I was suppose to work but my schedule got changed and now I have off. Woohoo! Hope to do something fun:)
Deborah Brooks says
Enjoy your day off!
Jennifer @ Running on Lentils says
LOVE this! So clever. Because I’m running a 5K tomorrow morning, I actually can’t eat any candy today (for fear it will give me tummy issue), so it’s nice to know I can’t eat any today. As for leftover candy, the lucky trick-or-treater who comes at the end of the night is getting it all!
Deborah Brooks says
Now that was smart thinking ahead my friend!
Chaitali says
Great tips! It also helps knowing exactly how much is in each of those candies to help decide if they’re worth it π I’ve got a couple runs and a wedding where I’m planning for lots of dancing this weekend so I think the activity is covered.
Deborah Brooks says
Absolutely true! Have fun tonight
Julie @ Running in a Skirt says
Haha! so cute! The hot tamale one is great!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks! Have a great Halloween
Tara @ Running 'N' Reading says
SO CUTE, Deborah! I love this list! And, by the way…how did you know about my addiction to Hot Tamales?!? π HA! Thanks so much and I hope you have a wonderful Halloween weekend!
Deborah Brooks says
who doesn’t love hot tamales (and chocolate that’s my weakness) Happy Halloween!
Sharon says
Love the list! Very creative! We’ll be trick or treating like crazy today. I think this will be the first year both boys will actually enjoy it. I know I’m in trouble if my 5 year old asks “can we go to all of the houses this year?” :p
Deborah Brooks says
oh yea you’re in for lots of it! Have fun:)
HoHo Runs says
I love a good play on words. Props!! You’ve got some real *whoppers* here.
Deborah Brooks says
Aw thanks tootsie
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
haha you’re so cute! so fun
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks Happy Halloween!
Mar @ Mar on the Run says
You are beyond clever!! Love this post π Happy Halloween!!
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks was totally inspired with the Friday Five!
Haley @ Running with diapers says
I don’t have a huge sweet tooth, so I’m not too temped with candy around this holiday, but I will snack on any leftovers. So we only purchased one bag of candy this year in an attempt to avoid leftovers. I keep telling myself that I can’t even have ONE PIECE because I need to make sure there’s enough for trick-or-treaters. Hopefully I don’t run out and end up with egg all over our house. lol
Deborah Brooks says
Ha ha one year we ran out and I had to give out my kids loot they were not happy!
Jenny @ TurtleStride says
Ha, I love it! We’re actually going to the pumpkin patch tomorrow!! I’ve never heard of Operation Gratitude, thanks for sharing!
Deborah Brooks says
It’s a great place to get rid of the candy for a good cause!
Smitha @ www.runningwithsdmom.com says
Happy Halloween! I wish you Almond Joy and Happiness!
Deborah Brooks says
Aw thanks! Happy Halloween π
Sarah says
Love it! So far I have managed to keep the candy away. I always say I will just have “a little” but have far too many treats. This year my husband said I couldn’t do it… nice challenge I felt like a kid with the double dog daring. So I started a new 21 day macro and workout plan on Monday and so far so good without giving in! I am thinking I should take the trick or treating duty tonight instead of handing out candy. π
Deborah Brooks says
It’s so hard to resist. On a regular day I can do it but I’m feeling weak (bc I need chocolate)
Laura@ Fit Running Mama says
Great list!! Enjoy and have fun– Just got back from my daughters parade and the wind is brutal and the temps are even worse! Trick or treating is going to be harsh if she wants to do it!
Deborah Brooks says
It is getting really chilly out here too! Have fun
Mary Beth Jackson says
Very clever!!! Happy Halloween! We are waiting for trick or treaters and grilling some turkey burgers π
I am running a 10K in the morning- that will burn off a few of my smarties!
Deborah Brooks says
Good for you! I have mine on Sunday morning-extra hour of sleep!
Jennifer says
So clever!! On certain Halloween nights….”sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t” π
Deborah Brooks says
ha ha yes! Have fun π
Carmy says
I love going all out on Halloween! One night of candy won’t kill me! Hehe
Deborah Brooks says
absolutely true! Good attitude
Amanda H says
Great tips! Love these for any holiday involving food–IE all the good ones lol π
Deborah Brooks says
Ha ha yes hope you had a good time π
Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC says
this is the cutest post – i love all your cute candy references π
Deborah Brooks says
Thanks it was fun to do!
