Happy Birthday!

Happy 14th Birthday Nick!  He stays very busy between basketball and running, and today won his age group at the Hospital Hill run, which I will show some pictures tomorrow.  It was a great day…

…and remember, sometimes it is OK to “splurge” a little with the food/diet, and remember to enjoy life.  You make up for it in other ways, activity, decreased portions somewhere else.  Remember, enjoy the important things in life when they come, otherwise you may just miss out on them!

Hospital Hill Run

Again, the Hospital Hill run is set for this saturday, June 11.  Our 15th annual…again starts at 8AM.  5K walk, 5K run, and 1 mile run.  Here you are looking at the side of the hospital hill where we finish just over the top.

Here is another view from the top of the hill.  The weather is supposed to be a little on the cool side, but no rain.  Perfect for a walk/run.  Hope to see you there!

MyPlate

The world of nutrition has some very exciting news! The government has issued a new food plan in the shape of a plate rather than the pyramid. The plate replaces the pyramid as the main visual icon for ‘what to eat’ by the USDA, however the food groups and recommendations remain the same. This is in part of Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign that is working towards reducing the rates of obesity in America. I invite you all to check out the new website: www.choosemyplate.gov and work at achieving a healthy plate!
