[lobsteriffic]

You eat a lot of pumpkin! It's so tasty! I adore squash and pumpkins and what not.

[Paige]

To me pumpkin is an awesome food. Really low in cals, really high in fiber and so tasty, so it is usally my "go to" carb. Also the canned stuff doesn't need the fridge.

[Paige]

Lots of straddle presses, double wensons, flexibility work, rocking tricep pushups, planches, split planches, split jumps, one arm pushups, and balance holds. 15mins of warm up cardio and lots of work on those splits and kicks.

Paige, do you prepare the pumpkin with anything or just eat it plain out of the can?
