Wow!!! Last week two best losers and this week, well, not so good.
Our topic this evening, a continuation of a TOPS program covering the upcoming salad season.
We discussed the merits of eating certain vegetables. Many vegetables should be eaten for their vitamin value, while others are consumed for their anti-cancer or anti-aging benefits.
We also discussed several vegetables that are not as popular as others such as jacima and Jerusalem artichokes. Those members familiar with these and some others shared preparation and recipes.
Between our grilling topics and salad discussions, we are pretty well set for a healthy summer with good eats

And, they also agreed on their Wise and Unwise.
Wise: Drink Water
Unwise: Not Planning
Out topic this evening, a TOPS program a rainbow of salad. Sandy brought in a visual aid (her dinner) exhibiting a salad with vegetables from each color group green, red, yellow/orange, blue/purple and white . Each color represents certain food values and contribute to a healthier meal. Warning: the good that comes from eating a varied salad can be undone with a high calorie or too much dressing. Sandy did not share her salad. It was a look but don't touch visual aid. |

Wise: Encouragement from TOPS pals
Unwise: Not drinking water
Sandy continues our Tops program on "Great Grilling"
Consensus of opinion : Fish is best cooked on the grill , outside, not only for its deliciousness but also because the fishy odor stays outside.

Wise: Exercising
Unwise: Portion Control
Sandy took a page out of the TOPS program book and prepared us for the upcoming grilling season. She covered the various meat, poultry and fish. Roasted vegetables also struck a chord with our members.

Unwise: Junk Food
Michael continued his program 'Back to the Beginning'. Previously he had advised going back to journaling to isolate stumbling blocks. Now he suggests analyzing our journal entries to see where we can either add exercise to burn calories or eliminate or change foods to cut back on calories. He pointed out that a depreciation of only 125 calories per day could result in a 1/4 pound per week x 52 weeks = 13lbs at the end of the year.

Wise: Portion control
Unwise: Sitting around
Shelley S., Kathy T. and Pat J. attended the Kops luncheon and reported back on a good time. Food excellent and our favors were a hit. The Kops put out a request for possible luncheon sites for the future. Many of the current sites are increasing their rates. The preference is sit-down lunch (not buffet) and any suggestions may be sent to Trina S. at tsteves441@gmail.com. Michael presented our program (Back to the Beginning) stating that when embarking on a weight loss journey we journal to determine where our "trouble" spots are and we should periodically go back and review our current life style. And thank you to Kathy T for her donation of the 50/50 money to the treasury. Kathy previously won the drawing at the TOPS luncheon.

Best Loser :
Wise: Staying away from Easter Candy
Unwise Snacking after dinner
Our topic this week, a TOPS Program citing non-scale victories. Those triumphant moments in your weight loss journey when the realization hits that "this is working". Fitting into a size smaller (yeah), More endurance and people asking if you've lost weight. (Someone noticed).

While several members lost this week, no one qualified for the best loser. So, the jackpot was carried over to next week. Our handy members were busy making favors for the upcoming KOPS luncheon.
