Roundup, week of August 7th

What Happened Last Week?

We explored the benefits of snacking. From managing hunger to cravings, if you make the right choices, snacking won't ruin your weight loss plans. Thanks to all of you for sharing your favorite snack ideas.

Weight loss awards this week went to Carolyn (5 pounds), Elizabeth (15 pounds), Erin (20 pounds), and Karla (50 pounds). The folks reaching their 5% targets included Lynne, Pat, Candi, Cindy and Debbie. We gave Norma her 16 week Stay and Succeed Award, and Marlene and Kathy reached their 10% targets. That's a great week!

So What's Coming Up?

What does your food day look like? We'll discuss how to put together a healthy day, how the new MyPlate from the USDA can help, and OF COURSE our Good Health Guidelines! Be prepared to share your healthy habits and to pick up some new ones.

Baked Snack Sale Alert! Starting Sunday, all of our baked snacks (pretzels, twists, crackers, popped snacks) will be on sale for $3.50!

Thought for the Week

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them ... every day begin the task anew. ~ Saint Francis de Sales
