Happy almost 4th of July!
I hope you all have a day where you can relax, enjoy and reflect! You all
should be so thankful for every little freedom that you possess and never take
for granted what a wonderful Country we live in! We should also resolve to
take care of the land in which we live as well as take care of ourselves (weren’t
you wondering where I was going with that?)! Let’s renew our commitment to
be healthy now so that we will be here for a LONG time and can enjoy all the
benefits that are available to us!
Even if you do NOT weigh-in this week, please come to the meeting! It is so
important to get the inspiration from your peers that are experiencing the
same emotions and situations that you thought you were alone in! Mary
Louise, Lucy and Ruth are definitely thankful as they were our Biggest Losers!
Let’s all remember our next goal and work toward its completion!
Start thinking about when we want to hold our Parties and invite any friends,
relatives and enemies!
Please encourage new members to join; there’s a good gift for you and the
new member when that happens!
Bring lots of friends and see you THIS WEEK,
Renee

Your BBQ Survival Guide
How to enjoy cookouts and outdoor parties on Plan.
Article By: Diana Kelly and Lisa Thomas
What do these words — charcoal, beer, potato salad, hot dogs, burgers, bugs and
fireworks — remind you of? That's right, July fourth is right around the corner and
throngs of people will roll out grills, dust off patio furniture, pack up picnic baskets
and attend outdoor celebrations! If you haven’t done so already, now’s the time to
plan a strategy for accommodating your favorite barbecue favorites.
Can’t pass on the pasta salad or dessert platter? Use Mental Rehearsing, a powerful
Weight Watchers Tools for Living resource to see what you will do, hear what you
will say, and feel what you will feel when you encounter the actual situation. After
you've got the mental picture of how you want to act at your next barbecue, get out
there and do it!
Attending a holiday celebration? Here are five ways to navigate through the
offerings.
Ask how the meats were prepared.
It's no crime to ask the chef how she made her marinades and sauces; she'll be
flattered by your interest. Find out if the burgers are lean and whether the "special"
sauces involve fatty condiments.
Go easy on the coleslaw, pasta and potato salad.
These side dishes tend to be soaked in mayonnaise and oil. Better yet, bring your
own lighter side dish. Browse our Recipes to find a healthier version of your favorites
.
Fill up on grilled fruits and vegetables.
These low PointsPlus® value foods will not only satisfy you but help you meet your
Good Health Guidelines too.
Drink lots of water and go easy on the booze.
Make an effort to drink more low PointsPlus value beverages during outdoor
parties, especially in the afternoon when the sun is scorching. It's OK to have an
alcoholic drink or two, but keep in mind that they won't help you stay hydrated and
may weaken your healthy eating resolve.
Participate in sports and other fitness activities.
Whether it's taking part in a beach volleyball game, playing Frisbee or hanging out in
the pool, you're better off staying away from the buffet table when you're not hungry.
And don't forget to track your activity PointsPlus values.
