Fall River Fitness Challenge~ Free Nutrition Classes!

Have you heard about the Fall River Fitness Challenge...

The city of Fall River is getting healthier everyday, with a goal to lose 2000 lbs by the end of May. There is no doubt residents and workers in Fall River will exceed this goal.

Wednesday nights The Diabetes Association is the place to be for a free class focusing on nutrition. Last nights class offered a trip to the Cantina Cafe for a cooking demonstration led by Henry Oliveria. The focus was on the benefits of whole grains.

Henry delivered an excellent presentation which allowed us to sample the different types of grains. In addition, we learned valuable information on how to save $$$ at the market. Eating healthy doesn't have to be expensive! We also learned how to make humus, its sooo easy!

The classes are on Wednesday nights from 6:30-8:00pm at The Diabetes Association located at 170 Pleasant St., Fall River. You can also view the events going on around the city of Fall River by checking out Healthy City's website.

Hope to see you all there!

Take care,

Suzanne - I won't be there but an excellent idea. Fitness is so important on so many levels.....time to do 50 push-ups before I make my calls for the day:-)

Hi Jason,

I will miss you....this is an awesome opportunity for everyone at all fitness levels! :)

Suzanne - That is quite a goal - I hope they make it. And the presentation about how to save money at the store and still purchase healthy foods was a great idea. (I don't think you could pay me to eat humus : )

I wish we had something like this in Tucson! And I love humus, especially with jalapenos or roasted red peppers!

Suzanne: What a great idea! And I love hummus! I could definitely add 10 pounds to the goal.

Hi Sandra,

Its an excellent program for those who want to get healthy. (i'll sprinkle sugar on it for you)

Hi Dawn,

Now that sounds really good! Too bad Sandra don't like it...more for us! :)

Hi Tara,

It is so good for you, dip with asparagus its a very healthy snack! ;)

Suzanne... I didn't realize you weighed a ton.... Good luck dropping those 2000 pounds! :-)

Always the funny guy...;)

Suzanne, Good luck with this program. I hope you have a great turn out!

I need to make an appointment with a nutritionalist or something. I need balance in types of food :)

Hi Monika,

Thanks, the classes get a little more participation each week! :)

Sally,

I really think you will benefit from it, everybody is different so the balance comes from knowing your own body's tolerance to food. How are you doing with your sugar?

I'm doing great with that part....lost a few just cutting the crap out....now to cut down on the fat stuff... I also eat a few times a day....little bits... OH, I'm also sleeping better! I was waking up three to four times during the night ....now only once or twice :)

Suzanne, it's great to see communities taking an active approach to help keep their community healthy. I am sure you are helping in your area to lead the way...

Suzanne - I was going to ask if they served Twinkies....but figured the answer was no. : -)

Hi Sally,

I do better when I eat smaller more frequent meals, keeps your metabolism stable. Sleep is half the battle, please tell me your not snacking in the middle of the night...;)

Hi Ray,

I am a strong advocate of a healthy lifestyle. This challenge is a great opportunity for the city of Fall River!

Sweet Sandra,

What am I gonna do with you...have you been back to the gym?

No snacking....anymore :) I have a sugar free fat free creamsicle thingy....that's about the extent of treats :)

Sally,

The sugar free fudgicles are really good too....only 40 calories! :)

Suzanne -- awesome idea -- are you going to take pictures?

Hi Aziz,

The healthy citys website is loaded with pictures from the events around the city. :)

Gym!?! Confusion reigns....What gym? You mean that moment of insanity I had : ) I figure Dan works out enough for both of us....Don't I get credit for 1/2 of his?

Sandra,

You are too funny, I guess that answers my question! LOL! :)

Can you count the 70 lbs I have lost since last June, Suzanne? ;-) Thanks for asking me to join the group! Steve

Hi Steve,

Your very welcome, every pound counts! :)

Wish I could contribute the 10lbs I have to loose! I did just get done my treadmill, weights and protein shake!!! BUT I still eat too much sugar!

Hi Kim,

I'm sure those 10lbs will be gone in no time, keep pushing my friend! :)

Suzanne, so many people have diabetes. This is a great resource for your customers and for your readers. ;-)

Hi Teri,

You are so right, so many people do have diabetes. The scary part is many don't even know they have it. If sharing what I have learned so far helps one person, I'm good! Thanks my friend, always nice to hear from you! :)

Suzanne~What a wonderful opportunity for your community. 2,000 pounds? Woah! That is awesome to have such a goal met and with the wide array of people who do have diabetes, this will help greatly.

Hi Julie,

The best part about this is anyone can join, not just for people with diabetes. Nice to see you! :)
