ShareHappy Halloween! Wanna hear something scary?
Yesterday afternoon I was strolling down 3rd Avenue. (That’s not the scary part…) As I walked past Ricky’s – THE place to go in NYC to get your Halloween get up – I spotted what I thought was a mannequin dressed as a witch.
Next thing I knew, the witch was walking towards me… and in a creepy voice saying…
“Come here my pretty…”
I literally jumped out of my skin. Argh!
This chick was obviously having a good time frightening the crap out of people all afternoon. And she totally got me!
Anyway in the spirit of Halloween, let’s count down..
10 things scarier than witches…
#1. High Fructose Corn Syrup
This addictive sweetener is single handedly destroying the health of millions of people around the world. Do yourself a favor. AVOID eating anything with this ingredient. Check the labels. You’ll find it in breads, cereals, breakfast bars, lunchmeats, yogurts, ice cream, sodas and condiments.
#2. Using bad exercise form
That guy at the gym who always uses horrible exercise technique will get hurt one day. Until then, it’s like watching a horror show.
#3. Falling asleep on the NYC subway
And waking up in the wrong hood. Fortunately this has never happened to me… But I’ve heard of a few random adventures.
#4. Outback Steakhouse
The commercials make me cringe. Clearly, I need to help this guy with his fake Aussie accent. Not only that, but the food is literally killer. The Aussie Cheese Fries with Ranch Dressing packs 2,900 calories, 182g fat and 240g carbs. And this is an appetizer! No. We don’t eat this in Australia.
#5. Homeland
Every episode gives me anxiety – but I can’t stop watching it. Don’t tell me what happened last week. I still have to catch up.
#6. The size of a Chipotle burrito
NO joke. It’s as big as a puppy and will set you back at least 1270 calories. That’s almost my entire day’s calorie intake right there… Go with the low-carb salad bowl instead.
#7. Hurricane Sandy
Now that was super scary. This was my first hurricane, and hopefully my last… Who thought half of New York (including my apartment) would be without power and heat for a WHOLE week?
#8. Starbucks Fancy Drinks
Here’s a holiday special beverage you should AVOID. The Pumpkin Spice Latte. A Venti size (20oz) has 510 calories, 20g fat and 64g carbs (of which 61g is sugar!). Are you scared yet?
#9. Ingredient Lists
Most processed packaged foods contain surprise additives and artificial scariness you can’t even pronounce. Boo! Again, check the labels. But I would recommend staying away from processed junk altogether.
#10. The time wasted doing stupid exercises
Most people still think they need to be sweating it out on the dreadmill for 60 minutes per session, up to 5 times per week to get fast results. Research shows this is a waste of time… And I have a unique solution for you.
His powerful interval and strength superset approach will burn more fat and improve your conditioning in just 20 minute bodyweight workouts. It’s your last chance to grab it for a steal of a price.

I was planning to dress up like this and surprise my clients today… But it’s a bit too sexy for the Upper East Side…?
Have a spookalicious day and watch out for witches,
