Imperial TOPS News 10/1/2015

Meeting News

At the October 1 meeting of Imperial TOPS NE0267, Donna was the best loser, and Barb earned a Kept-It-Off award. This month’s challenges: 1) Exercise 10 minutes a day for at least 4 days, and 2) Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water each day.

Barb and Donna will provide food for the Community Center dinner on October 11. For the upcoming Fall Rally, Diann will provide a meat dish, and Cheryl will provide a salad. Barb is creating a Halloween theme basket for the Chinese raffle. Members should bring items for the basket to the October 15 meeting.

New Contest

Barb introduced a 4-week contest called “Scare Off Pounds.” Members receive stickers for weight loss, exercising, showing their food diary, drinking water, and attending the meeting.

Program

Donna presented information on the antioxidant CoQ10, which is found in fish, beef, eggs, citrus fruits, blueberries, raw vegetables, and cinnamon. It can help with energy levels and boost the immune system. She also gave information on how foods that contain Vitamin A are good for your skin: carrots and broccoli (anti-oxidants) and food that is high in fatty acids, such as salmon, flax seed, and healthy oils like canola and extra virgin olive oil.

Lorna will give the program on October 8 and Karen on the 15th.
