Get Lost in Jackson update
For the most part, we had our first overall weight gain in July. So, let's get back on track and eat healthy, exercise and think about what you are doing and eating. I can't help but notice all of the back to school snack foods jumping at us in every store. Don't let the snazzy packaging lure you into placing it in your buggy. Read the label. If it is mostly sugar, water or fat loaded honeybuns, cookies and empty calories, then walk on by to the fruit and vegetable aisle or milk product aisles. Whole foods are foods that have not been processed, added to and emptied of their good nutrients. The food pyramid gives an excellent suggestion on what to eat. Pick up a cereal box and there will probably be a picture of it on there. Then shop using it as a guide. Your buggy will be brimming with fresh vegetables, fruits, cheese, yogurt, milk and whole grain products. Remember 30 minutes of exercise a day could result in 20 pounds lost in one year. The drawing for Get Lost in Jackson for July was held at Jackson City Hall. Lois Guy was the $100 winner. Thank you City of Jackson for sponsoring GLIJ. Here's a simple recipe that might help in your weight loss efforts.
