Personal Fitness with Dani Chance

Hello everyone!

This week (Mar. 17th) at M4M, our very own Dani Chance will be sharing with us about personal fitness. Here are some important instructions from Dani, to make sure that we come prepared.
Everyone should dress to exercise
Bring a water bottle
Bring a large beach towel or exercise mat. If some people brought 2 for those that don't bring anything, that would be great.
Also, pregnant women & those with certain health issues or injuries can still participate on some things. We will be going over lots of info also and not just exercising.

Snacks will be provided by Sabrina's group. Come ready to have some fun!

Next week (Mar. 24th) we will be taking the week off because of Spring Break. I hope everybody has fun things plannned!

We'll see you Wednesday! (Actually, I won't, because I'm driving for the 1/2nd grade field trip. But have fun, anyway!)

Smile Time! :)  I went looking for some St. Patrick's Day jokes to share with you, but most of them were about drinking and fighting... I did find this one that I thought was pretty clever. I hope you enjoy it!

An aging man lived alone in Ireland. His only son was in Long Kesh Prison, and he didn't know anyone who would spade up his potato garden. The old man wrote to his son about it, and received this reply, "For HEAVENS SAKE, don't dig up that garden, that's where I buried the GUNS!!!!!" At 4 A.M. the next morning, a dozen British soldiers showed up and dug up the entire garden, but didn't find any guns. Confused, the man wrote to his son telling him what happened and asking him what to do next.
 
His son's reply was: "Just plant your potatoes."

Celebrating the Easter Season -- Beth Lambright

Happy day, everyone!

 

I am SO looking forward to tomorrow's M4M meeting (Mar.10). We are welcoming back guest speaker, Beth Lambright, who is going to give us some new ideas for celebrating Easter (woo-hoo!) with our families. Now, the one hitch is that we do not have anyone signed up for snacks. So, if you feel like bringing something, even though it is not your official week -- please do so! I'm sure we will have plenty.

 Next week (March 17th), our very own Dani Chance will be educating us about personal fitness. I have a hunch that she will have us up and moving... so you might want to dress comfortably. Snacks will be provided by Sabrina's group.

Smile Time! :)  What is the connection beteween Easter and Personal Fitness? You got it -- chocolate!

The Rules of Chocolate

• If you get melted chocolate all over your hands, you're eating it too slowly.  
• Chocolate covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want.
•  The problem: How to get two pounds of chocolate home from the store in a hot car. The solution: Eat it in the parking lot.  
• Diet tip: Eat a chocolate bar before each meal. It'll take the edge off your appetite and you'll eat less.  
• A nice box of chocolates can provide your total daily intake of calories in one place. Isn't that handy?  
• If you can't eat all your chocolate, it will keep in the freezer. But if you can't eat all your chocolate, what's wrong with you?  
• Money talks. Chocolate sings.  
• Chocolate has many preservatives. Preservatives make you look younger.  
• Why is there no such organization as Chocoholics Anonymous? Because no one wants to quit.  
• Put "eat chocolate" at the top of your list of things to do today. That way, at least you'll get one thing done.  
• Chocolate is a health food. Chocolate is derived from cacao beans. Bean = vegetable. Sugar is derived either from sugar beets or cane, both vegetables. And, of course, the milk/cream is dairy. So eat more chocolate to meet the dietary requirements for daily vegetable and dairy intake.
