Well for one, the kids are back in school and routines are falling back in to place. Now you can pick up where you left off before the summer came and took up all your free time, filling it with vacations, picnics, and BBQs. Fall is the perfect time to launch a diet and fitness regimen to put the focus back on you.

A recent survey of 1500 moms showed the moms said they look forward to getting back to their regular routines and having more time to focus on themselves when their kids go back to school. They ranked summer second (behind the winter holidays) as the time of year when they tended to put on the most weight. Now it is time to work it off!

Get out and breath the fresh fall air…do some hiking, walking, or join the gym. Find a workout partner and make a plan. Now many moms have the time to make healthier meals and fit fitness into the day. Be inspired by the fall weather and fall foods, like pumpkins, nuts, apples, soups and salads. Don’t let another season pass you by.
