Welcome! This is a thread for people who want to attend a meeting from the comfort of their own home. We are primarily a PointsPlus board (Go Team Yellow!) but all are welcome to revel in the GHG's, 16 Routines, and topics that never get old. If you're new here, feel free to introduce yourself! If you have anything to celebrate, share and give yourself a bravo sticker: + If you want to make it official, you can weigh yourself and put it in your tracker or share it! If you need some accountability, feel free to post daily how you’re doing on PP/GHG’s. This Week's Topic: Salt - Why Less is More www.weightwatchers.ca/util/art/index_art.aspx?art_id=139810&tabnum=1&sc=806&subnav=Science+Library%3a+Healthy+Nutrition- The article suggests that once people have less salt in their diet, they prefer food with less salt. Have you observed this (or this with another type of food) on your weight loss journey? - One way to avoid excess salt is to avoid processed foods. What advice would you give a friend that wanted to add more whole food into their diet? - Exercise also has a positive effect on blood pressure. What advice can you give on starting/maintaining an exercise program? This Week’s Routine: (10) Get up and walk at least five minutes each hour. GHG of the Week: Liquids - At least 6 8-oz glasses; water is best Meal of the Week: Dinner What are you having for dinner? Recipe of the Week: Macaroni and Cheese Soup With Broccoli (7PP) www.skinnytaste.com/skinny-macaroni-and-cheese-soup-with/Next Week's Topic: The Diet Cycle

- One way to avoid excess salt is to avoid processed foods. What advice would you give a friend that wanted to add more whole food into their diet? Cut back gradually...halve the salt in recipes then quarter it
- Exercise also has a positive effect on blood pressure. What advice can you give on starting/maintaining an exercise program? Make it a priority - schedule it into your day
This Week’s Routine: (10) Get up and walk at least five minutes each hour. Not doing this but it is a good idea. I am setting the alarm for 45 minutes, walking 15 minutes and repeat till I get in 45 minutes for the day
GHG of the Week: Liquids - At least 6 8-oz glasses; water is best This one is habit for me now
Meal of the Week: Dinner What are you having for dinner? Not sure...probably something grain and bean based...or perhaps potatoes as the starch
Recipe of the Week: Macaroni and Cheese Soup With Broccoli (7PP) www.skinnytaste.com/skinny-macaroni-and-cheese-soup-with/This looks really good!
Thank you for doing this every week!
