Every Thursday, starting 1/23, we will offer the opportunity to gather and share lunch time in the Cunningham Room from 12pm - 1pm, in order to discuss Health and Wellness topics, or just share our concerns and SUCCESSES! This will be a "Bring your Own Lunch" gathering unless something is planned otherwise for a specific date. We will try and provide at least 20 minutes of planned presentation or activity for each week. This is optional, but highly encouraged, as having support and engagement is important to sticking with our healthy goals. Hope to see you there!
If this does not fit into your schedule, we will try and post the main content shared in each gathering on this thread so that you don't miss out!
Check this thread for all details regarding our Lunch Learning opportunities. If you have ideas or want to present during a lunch, please contact Kat Armstrong directly!

Yes We plan to share content. We realize that not everyone can make it to everything. Spin and strength sounds like a great way to spend your lunch time!1

My Notes from the Lunch with Jodi...
4 Basic Strategies to weight control
1. Water - 64 oz minimum per day - water is a natural suppresant and increases calorie burning
2. 7 hours sleep daily - lack of rest makes you crave food and impacts eating. not enough sleep can also sabotage your exercise time. Do not reduce sleep for exercise if you are not getting at least 7 hours sleep. Feeling tired makes your body more likely to crave sugars for quick energy
3. Make a realistic plan - realistic means that you make a plan that you can do 80% of the time. you should start where you are today and plan by making the small changes as you go to find out what your body really needs. No food should be forbidden. Eat on purpose and plan what you are eating for 24 hours in advance... only eat what is on the plan each day. Evaluate your eating and eat consciously. Unlearn the old "diet rules" and learn to lose weight the way you want to live. Stop yourself from the restrict and binge or overeat cycle. Planning helps you learn to control your brain
4. Follow the Hunger Scale - listen to queues from your body rather than always measuring food and eating on a schedule. This is also called intuitive eating. Your control zone is when you are between a -2 and a 2 on the scale, with 0 being not hungry. If you start to feel hungry, always drink water first, as your body gives a similar queue for thirst and hunger. Wait an hour and if the water does not satisfy the need, then you are hungry and should eat something. As you eat, you should watch for queues of when your hunger is satisfied, rather than just eating because the food is there. when you feel full, stop eating even if you haven't finished. Your body knows the amount that it needs. Some days you may need more food than other days, but you should follow your queues from your body to know when to eat and when to stop.
