She also received the Kept It Off award, which gives her a month’s chapter dues. Lorna won a little cash in the Ha-Ha drawing. Lorna and Cheryl will provide food for the Community Center Dinner on February 14.

Challenges

The challenges for the week are to add to habits formed in the “Get Healthy & Active” program: 1) Write down everything you eat for at least 4 days; 2) Walk at least the number of steps you did last week, but walk faster for a couple minutes during your walk; 3) Create a playlist of uplifting songs to listen to while you exercise or cook.

Program

Donna presented a program on how to purchase fresh and frozen fish, with instructions on preparing healthy versions of tataki-style tuna and salmon, a fish “fry,” fish cakes, and oily fish such as mackerel, herring, and sardines. Shirley will present the program on February 4, Karen on February 11.
