Weekend Activities

So another weekend comes and goes, as does any hope of reprieve from this cold weather! Friday was doable as we spent the later part of the afternoon into the evening enjoying a beautiful snowshoe hike and then sleg dog ride at the wonderful Snowy Plains Kennel near the crossroads. The Christian Family along with myself and two kids bundled up and had a marvelous time...not so lucky for the Thomas Family and Donna who were scheduled for Sunday---suffice it to say they rescheduled an account of subzero temps and wind gusts that literally knocked me off my feet. Sunday was a great day to stay indoors, but activity was still on tap and thinking about healthy eating and meal planning is usually not very far off my radar. Luckily for me, I was scheduled to do a healthy cooking demo to conclude the YMCA member appreciation week festivities. What better way to spend a freezing cold day than to demonstrate some quick, easy and delilcious recipies for families and then work it off on one of the many various workout equipment the YMCA has to offer. The recipes I used are currently posted on MGH weight management for all to enjoy! Many families showed up to learn how to make "fast food" their kids may eat while trying to meet fiber, calcium and calorie recommendations to keep their bodies strong and fit. It was awesome and was ever so glad to see the Thomas family front and center adding their input! Keeping healthful foods on tap at home is the first ingredient in
trying to provide better nutrition for you and your family. It is not an easy task but a worthwhile one--good luck!
