The TOPS Chapter thanks everyone who helped make our March 21 Baked Potato Luncheon a success. We hope everyone who attended had a wonderful time and enjoyed the food and visiting.
TOPS Chapter 9319 El Dorado Springs met in The Preferred Family Healthcare building, 700 E. Hospital Rd, El Dorado Springs on Thursday, March 28, for their regular weigh-in and meeting.
Warren, our leader, called the meeting to order.
Carol led us in singing “The Easter Song”
We said our TOPS & KOPS Pledges
Warren led us in roll call; 20 members weighed in. The chapter had a gain of 8 lbs. and a loss of 6 pounds which gave us a net gain of 2 pounds.
The week’s best loser was Warren “The Boss” with a loss of 1.6 lbs. Congratulations Warren. Sharron lost 1.6 pounds as well but over a two-week period, Congratulations Sharron.
New Contest: New contest starts today. Laura went over the rules on how to “win” a bee. They are: Lose a pound, keep a Food chart for at least 5 days of the week, contact a fellow TOPS member outside of the meeting, Exercise at least 3 days, drink 64 oz of water each day, try a new healthy recipe and share it. Achieve daily step’s goal for four days, practice stress reducing activity such as meditation and deep breathing for 10 minutes five days and KOPS stay in leeway. Cost is $2. The teams she has so far are:
Fred & Pam, Sue, and Linda H., Warren, Samantha, and Jean and Pat, Jan, and Laura.
Warren had the program today. He spoke on The Seven Types of Hunger
1. Eye hunger: You see a picture or ad of good food and immediately start craving it.
2. Noise Hunger: the smell of good food cooking.
3. Mouth Hunger: The crunch of chips, or smoothness of good chocolate
4. Stomach hunger: Sometimes the stomach hurting or growling does not indicate hunger
5. Cellular Hunger: Your body may be craving a mineral or protein you are lacking in your diet
6. Mind Hunger: You start thinking of food and cannot stop
7. Heart Hunger: Emotional eating. A surge of emotion can trigger eating or sometimes the inability to eat.
Thank you, Warren, for a great program, this helps us stop and think are we hungry or is it something else.
We sang Happy Birthday to Judy B.
