I did it. I bought candy BEFORE Halloween, afraid that only the crappy candy would be left if I waited any longer. I'm sitting here with mini-Butterfingers, ghost-shaped Reese's, and Kit-Kats calling my name while working on this newsletter. Is anyone with me?
We have entered THE season of excess food, busy schedules, and holiday celebrations. You know, - that time of year when we FALL OFF TRACK with our fitness and nutrition, making January the BOOMING season in the fitness world. Wouldn't it be nice to make it through the next few months without feeling like a bloated blob of fat and sugar? Wouldn't it be nice to make it to January as unscathed as possible and as ON TRACK as possible?
Our Holiday Challenge is starting at the end of October to help with that! Let's maintain our fitness and nutrition this season! We've worked too hard to stop now! - XXXOOO-Rebecca

I had the pleasure of attending AtlantaMania, my favorite Fitness Conference, with Becky Freyenhagen this year. Becky has been such a great addition to Stronghold.
Be on the lookout for new things showcasing her passions and specializations!
