Yes-Yes No-No

Challenges are to follow this week’s instructions in the calendar from Karen: Snack only on fruits or vegetables, make a smoothie with fresh fruit and yogurt, count your steps, stop eating when you’re full, and be thankful! What to avoid? Snacking after 7 p.m.

Program

Diann presented a program from Health.com: New Ways to Start the Year Off Light. Tips included:

• Don’t do something else while you’re eating; it leads to “eating amnesia”;
• Load up on fiber at breakfast;
• Don’t just banish “bad” foods – replace or add nutritious foods;
• Put your vegetables in plain sight in your fridge;
• When eating out, double up on the vegetables.

Barb and Shirley will provide food for the February 8 dinner at the community center. Members will decide by February 5 who will be attending SRD in Grand Island the last weekend of March.

TOPS Club meets from 9 to 10 a.m. on Thursdays at the Imperial Community Center, with weigh-ins beginning at 8:30. The first meeting is free. Find out more at www.TOPS.org.
