Dolores Schlensker "Dee" Lundstrom

In Memorium









This past week, TOPS 785 lost one of it's longtime members, Dolores Schlensker "Dee" Lundstrom.  Dee was a very active member of our chapter.   She achieved KOPS status and served as an Assistant Weight Recorder for many years.  Her bright smile and quick wit will be missed by all who were lucky enough to have known this remarkable woman.



The visitation calling hours are Sunday, July 22 from 3pm to 5pm at the Glenville Funeral Home, 9 Glenridge Road, Glenville, NY.
 
There will be a service at the funeral home at 9am on Monday, then a 10am service at the First Reformed Church of Scotia, 224 Ballston Avenue, Scotia.

Whoops.  Let's do better.


Best Loser: WILMA!!!
Wise: Water
Unwise: Ice Cream


Program:
24 Hour Recall Sheet
Everyone logged what they ate in the last 24 hours and then examined how much meat they were eating.  Most people should be getting 70-105 grams of protein per day.
The average American eats 195 pounds of animal protein (fish included) per year.  Most coming from red meat. Instead try...

  • Poultry
  • Lean Beef
  • Fish
  • Legumes
  • Tofu (Soy products)
Here's some alternatives.
