Halloween. You are probably up to your eyeballs in teeny bite sized candy bars right now. They're probably "hidden" somewhere in your pantry to keep you from eating them. Or maybe you keep them in a difficult to open jar on your desk so you won't indulge too much. Here's your goal for today: give all that shit away. If the last trick or treat-er knocks on your door and you have 2 bags of candy left, it all goes in that lucky little guy's bag. If it's 4:55PM and you still have a jar of candy on your desk, then you merrily walk around placing it on co-workers desks until it's all gone. EVERY. LAST. PIECE.

You see, Halloween candy isn't all that amazing. It's just miniature versions of the full size candy that you can buy ANY TIME YOU WANT. You're not forced to cling to your Mom's pants and beg for a Snickers bar at the grocery store check out line. You are a grown up with a paycheck. Halloween isn't some special once a year festival of deliciousness...it's just stupid candy. And you don't need it. Do you get an Easter basket every year too? Well then why the hell are you eating 5lb bags of Halloween candy!? Grab 2 pieces of your favorite candy. Eat one today. Eat one tomorrow. And be done with it. Trust me.

I also challenge all our parents to play a HILARIOUS joke on their kids. When your kids go looking for their candy on Thursday, lie to them and tell them you ate it all. You could say something like, "All this CrossFit has made me really hungry, so I ate all your Halloween Candy." You also must video tape their responses, because you might get an awesome reaction like these parents. Get the reactions on camera, link the video to the CFF facebook page by Sunday morning, and the best video wins a free t-shirt from our pro shop!
