Hi everyone! We had a great week last week discussing some tips on how to grocery shop in order to stay healthy and within your budget. Also thanks to Nicolette for showing us her mini greenhouse and showing us how easy it is to start your own vegetable garden!
We were going to have a draw last week from those who have been journalling... however... (ahem) not a SINGLE person had their journal filled out!! So I challenged everyone for this week to do two things... #1. We are going to write down everything we eat in our journal this week, and #2. Everyone is to do 20 minutes of activity at least three times this week, and then we are going to watch the pounds lost go up!! I challenged us to lose 50 lbs this week! Let's stick to it guys and see how we do! You can do it guys! Bring your journals tomorrow for a chance to win the draw!
See you tomorrow as we have a talk on How to Make Healthy Snacks!!

Week Nine, Doin' Fine!
With 8 weigh-ins done and only 4 to go... the end is in sight! You guys are awesome having already lost 315 lbs! We had a minor set-back last week with Mother's Day on the schedule, but we had some great discussion on some tips on how to handle special occasions and eating out.
A special thanks to Ashley for her talk on Eating Out! She suggested many ideas, some of which were to plan ahead by checking the restaurant's nutrition info online or at the restaurant, getting a doggy bag right way and putting half the food in it for the next day, choosing the "Health Check" items from the menu, and if at a friend's or relative's house, offering to help serve the dessert so you can cut your own smaller portion. Hand-outs are available for those who missed last week.
The week before, I did a talk on "The Wellness Lifestyle" that chiropractors promote as a way to prevent health problems. I talked about how proper nutrition, exercise, and regular chiropractic adjustments can help you to maintain a healthy nervous system. And since your spine is like a fuse box that makes your whole body work... you best keep it working properly and free from interference! We also talked about how chiropractors examine patients, including posture exams. We also saw how an extra 40 lbs can really put a strain on your spine and nerves! People were really excited about learning how the body works and I would love to answer any other questions you have!
To summarize the results from the last 2 weeks...
May 5th meeting: The Biggest Losers were 1. Bob L.- 1.61% 2. Kelly B- 1.56% 3. Alisha S.- 1.21%
May 12th: 1. Robyn M.- 2.25% 2. Joanne W.- 1.63% 3. Debbie B. - 1.38%
Way to go guys! A job well done!
I am finding it very interesting this year that every single week we have a different top 3! Last year we could tell who was going to win for sure, but this year... it's anybody's game!!
Just a reminder... you are not just competing for the weekly pot, but also for a weekend for two to Niagara on the Lake!! Good luck guys!
A reminder from Diane from St. George Fitness, make sure to get your "half way thru" body composition done. You can stop by the gym Mon-Thurs 2-6, or Sat 8-12. Thanks again Diane!
We will see you tomorrow night for our weekly meeting which will be on "How to Grocery Shop" and also "How to start your own vegetable garden". See you there!!
p.s. I noticed the pounds being lost is going down... how many people are still journalling their food every day?? = ) Please bring your journals tomorrow for a draw for a prize.
*IMPORTANT!! The bike scavenger hunt has been scheduled for Saturday, June 19th. It is for the whole community, families and friends! So spread the word and come on out at 9:30 AM for a fun way to get some exercise! Bring your digital camera to take pictures of your team at all the clues! So dust off that old bike, or borrow one! Pump up those tires and get ready to go!
