Autumn the Season of Weight Gain

Summer is gone and we say goodbye to the warmer weather, many outdoor activities and the revealing clothes.

It’s no wonder the average person gains 5 pounds in autumn, a recent article proclaimed September as the 2nd fattest month of the year.( December is first)

When it comes to food, we all have our guilty pleasures, so I’ll confess that I like the jumbo peanuts in the shell, and I’ll crack them open bag after bag all winter.

I also like an occasional dozen hot wings, although I try to limit them because I know they’re really really bad for you.

One thing most of us can do is set goals in the colder months to work out and eat right most of the time, with the vision of looking better when summer comes around again and you’re wearing shorts and a tank top, or you ladies a bikini.

The fattest days of the week are #1 Saturday, and #2 Sunday, so maybe put an exercise schedule together that includes 30 to 45 minutes of exercise on the weekends.

My wife and I are remodeling a room in our basement to include some equipment to workout on a regular basis.

The big thing about the aging process is taking care of our bodies, so that we have less problems in our senior years (which are fast approaching)

Now put down that cupcake and do some sit-ups
