Week Three & Its Challenges
Week Three proved to be a great week for some and alot of frustration for others. My advice to you is not to give up. Let's keep proving to ourselves that "we" can do it. This is a lifestyle change with rewarding benefits but it takes hard work. Learn to eat healthy (incorporating all the five food groups), learn portion control, reading food labels for serving sizes, and of course EXERCISE (finish your spring cleaning, plant a garden, mow the lawn, and etc.)! Every week will not be perfect but you are off to a great start!
If you have any questions at all about any of the above, feel free to call the office.
Don't forget about Monday, May 18th at the Citizens Bank in Hickman at 6pm: Healthy Food Choices. My goal is to show you that you can take traditional unhealthy dishes and make them healthy ones!
