Hello!
There has been a lot going on at the LIONS GYM and the biggest one that
Leah and I have noticed are the BLESSINGS and GRACE that have come our
way. My, My, My! The number of people that we have met is amazing! We
could not have chosen you even if we wanted to. Something bigger than Leah
and I brought you into our lives that is God. Amen! We want to say THANK
YOU! We cannot say enough thank yous, but may you be blessed a hundred
fold for supporting Lions Gym. Please do not lose sight now because NOW is
the time that you keep on keeping on. We are speaking to YOU!
Keeping on with the series of the things we put into our bodies, we
continue with FRUITS & VEGETABLES. Let us remind you of someone who has
been taking vegetables for many years and it has never failed him -
POPEYE!
Vegetables & fruits are a good source of fiber and minerals that we really
do not get enough from eating protein foods like chicken, meat and fish.
They expand in our stomach and they make you feel full.
Here are some tips:
1. Keep fruit/vegetables out where you can see them. That way you'll be
more likely to eat them. Keep them out on the counter or in the front of
the fridge. (Leah is real good at this one!)
2. Get some every meal, every day. Try filling half your plate with
vegetables at each meal. Serving up salads, stir fry, or other
vegetable-rich fare makes it easier to reach this goal. Bonus points if
you can get some fruits and vegetables at snack time too!
3. Explore the produce aisle and choose something new. Variety is the key
to a healthy diet. Get out of a rut and try new fruits and vegetables.
4. Bag the potatoes. Choose other vegetables that are packed with more
nutrients and more slowly digested carbohydrates.
Seriously, let's get this type of food in us to keep away all those funky
diseases!
Now that my friends is your TIP of the WEEK...
Please help us congratulate YOU! Yes you!!! Point at yourself and
congratulate yourself because you are going to eat fruits and vegetables
for dinner!
See you at the gym!
