TAKING ACTION: ✅Post pics of your Color Challenge in the comments! ✅Where do you fall when it comes to eating candy or sweets? Are you able to practice proactive discipline and only enjoy a few pieces, or do you keep eating it once you start? Speaking of sugar, I often see other coaches advising their clients in one of two ways when it comes to eating the Halloween candy that’s lining the grocery aisles right now ⬇️ 👉 Don’t eat the candy 👉 Enjoy a few pieces of candy The problem is that—it’s not that simple. There are nuances that we need to factor in. It’s important to first understand your unique cravings, body, and thoughts. What works for me may not work for you—and that’s okay! For example, some people do better by allowing themselves to enjoy some of their favorite foods because complete restriction does more harm than good. On the other hand, complete restriction from certain foods may be the best option for some due to the fact that they can’t stop eating said food once they start. The question you need to ask yourself is, “Where do I fall regarding this?” If you feel as though you need complete restriction around a certain food, don’t let that get you down. The reality is that while it feels tough to swallow right now, your taste buds and your brain will change. 💯 Ultimately, the answer to the question above is unique to you and your ability to control your sugar intake.

I made the pumpkin protein bites from yesterday’s post and they are delicious! I will definitely be making again 🎃

- 8 oz glass bottle/jar - 6–8 whole vanilla beans (about 1 oz by weight) - 8 oz (1 cup) 80-proof vodka or bourbon — enough to fully submerge the beans Split each vanilla bean lengthwise to expose the seeds, place them in the bottle, and cover completely with vodka. Seal tightly and store in a cool, dark place, giving it a shake every week or two. You can begin using it after about 8 weeks, but 6–12 months gives you a much richer vanilla extract. You can leave the beans in indefinitely and top it off with vodka as you use it. 🤩 Fun Fact: Beaver Anal secretions are used to make artificial vanilla flavoring and it can legally be called “natural flavoring.” 🦫 🤯 The more you know…

TAKING ACTION: ✅What is the biggest gain you see from taking rest days? Do you feel the benefits in both your mind and body? Share with us below! It’s been a full week of Steps 👟, and I think it’s the perfect time to slow down and discuss the importance of rest days. With all of our extra movement this month, I think this is an important message to drive home. None of it works without proper rest. Resting is as important as everything else. Here’s why ⬇️ 👉Muscle repair and growth: Muscles are broken down during exercise, but they GROW during rest. 👉Central nervous system recovery: Your central nervous system coordinates your muscles, and since high-intensity workouts stress it, it needs time to rest so it can do its job. 👉Glycogen replenishment: Intense exercise depletes glycogen stores, which are the body’s primary energy reserves. Rest days, paired with proper nutrition, allow glycogen stores to replenish. Speaking of central nervous system recovery, giving your central nervous system a break also benefits your overall mindset (and you know how I feel about mindset), since it plays a massive role in your mental attitude, emotional state, and cognitive patterns. Again, rest days are non-negotiable. In fact, they’re a huge part of the bigger picture here. Nothing else matters without proper rest. 💯 ________________________________________________________________________________________ ‼️ Don’t forget to share your personal referral link from inside Skool with friends and family & invite them to the community!
