Good Fat, Bad Fat What's in Your Diet?

REMINDER - Erin Weilert will be teaching a class on the different types of fats in our foods tomorrow night, 7:00 PM at the Humboldt Library in the Community Room.  This will immediately follow Line Dancing which will be at the Humboldt Elementary School beginning at 6:00 PM.  This class promises to be very informative and will be a helpful pre-requisite to the label reading class Erin is leading next Thursday.
 
 
 

All new dances

Just a reminder...anyone out there that hasn't been able to make line dancing class, can start fresh this Tuesday at Lincoln elementary school. We will be learning all new dances next week. One laid back one, Two women power ones, and a latin rhythm one. It is going to be fun.

When you gain

Sometimes it seems difficult to lose after the initial fluid loss. I gained back a pound this week. You just have to stick with it and stay on track don't give up. I exercised a lot this week walking, bootcamp everyday and line dancing one night. It could be that I have gained muscle not fat and muscle weighs more. I am not giving up so I you gface similar issues take heart it will come off with persistance.

Iola Family Fun Night

The Iola Family Fun Night has been postponed until February due to potentially inclement weather headed our way tomorrow.  Please watch the schedule for the new date.  It's guaranteed to be a fun evening of activities for all!

line dancing venue change

Due to scheduling conflicts, line dancing at jefferson elementary school has been moved to Lincoln Elementary school at 7:15 this thursday. The address is 700 N. Jefferson. Hope to see you there. I believe we have pretty much mastered four dances. I have shown five. I believe next week, we will start with a clean slate and start all over learning four more dances for a couple weeks. Ready to learn?!? Have fun!?! and burn calories!?!

Jefferson School

I am new to the area and have found Jefferson School at 300 S. Jefferson Avenue. Is this the same as the Jefferson Elementry School. I am pretty sure it is, but just want to make sure. Don't want to miss the Line Dancing.
Could someone please verify this for me and I will be off.............Thanks

Problems

I have been having problems with my back lately. Don't know why. I have an MRI tomarrow and this has put a hault on my weight loss and exercising. Does anyone have any ideas?

real age calculator

Yippee. I lost five pounds this week. That is the good news. the bad news is I went to one of the links for Real Age. My true age is 46, but it calulated my "real age at 61! Ahhh. That really made me take a hard look at all the unhealthy habits and practices I have. My biggest enemy is smoking and sedentary lifestyle. It tells you what you do right and tells you what to do to correct poor habits and how to make better choices. I urge all of you to go to the Real Age Link. It was an eye-opener for me.
