Dear Friend,

It's cold. Really cold.

Colorado went from summer to winter—overnight.

As the temperatures drop, the leaves change to wondrous colors, and the kids head back to school, my thoughts turn toward how we can balance our personal needs—to work on building a better body—with keeping our family healthy through the fall and winter.

Well, we didn't make it past the first week of school when all three of my daughters had brought home separate bugs. Talk about throwing your schedule for a loop. If you have kids, I'm sure you can relate. Fortunately, we got them back into full health and running full swing quickly. But it brought us to full alert about ensuring healthy habits around our house.

That includes simple things like making sure we wash our hands often. And we even keep a bottle of hand sanitizer in the car to "de-germ" when we're away from home.

We also ensure we're taking our multi-vitamins, including Vitamin D, omega-3 fats, and lots of extra Vitamin C to keep our immune systems strong (personally, I take eight grams of Vitamin C a day, during the winter months).

As you might imagine, we're a pretty active family. And there's a lot going on on any given day. Of course, staying active is part of staying healthy. And all three of my girls are tremendous athletes who enjoy competition. We also all enjoy getting outside and enjoying the sunshine and fresh air.

Of course, it goes without saying that high-quality, healthy nutrition is also an absolute must.

For all of us, that means we get to indulge in an Eat-Smart High Protein Nutrition shake every day. I say this because my girls love Eat-Smart® as a before-bed snack (we make it like pudding, and they love it—and I do too!). I mean what kid wouldn't want to indulge in a rich, creamy, healthy nutrition shake/pudding that tastes like dessert?! (Of course, I also know this is nothing like most fat-laden, processed snack foods. Eat-Smart is packed with loads of healthy nutrition. You can learn more about Eat-Smart here... and if you want to give it a try, our Customer Solution Experts have a pretty unbelievable deal going on right now if you call them at 1-866-688-7679.)

This online issue of Real Solutions is packed with resources and ideas to help you to continue on your journey to building a healthier, stronger, leaner physique… and includes a number of smart ways to keep your family in full health, as we get back into full swing with school, work, and whatever else you have on your plate.

From Taylor Ryan's "Top 6 Excellent Moves In the Gym" to keep your body shapely and strong to our delicious, "Protein-packed Recipes" from Sue and Julia's kitchen that are super fast to whip up… to some serious motivation, and words of wisdom, from our most recent 911 Ultimate Transformation Challenge Champions and contenders.

And finally, we have a special AudioBlog from Shari Fitness on "the Secret to The Law of Attraction in Fitness" and a very thought-provoking and interesting commentary from Dr. Bill Campbell on the "Exercise Makes You Fat" debate. This, in response to the recent New York Times article. (I think you'll be surprised at some of the good doctor's conclusions. I know I was.)

So, stay warm. Wash your hands. Get some sunshine. Keep active. Keep working hard to build your absolute best body. And eat well to fully enjoy all the fun-filled fall and winter activities!

Sincerely,

Stephen Adele
