Just one final reminder! Make sure to eat at Culver’s today and bring a voucher with you! When you place your order, give them the voucher and they will fill it out and keep it. At the end of the day the Child Day Center will receive 10% of the total amount of vouchers that were brought in. We can’t stand at the door and hand them out to people (or we would! ), so we really need your help! Funds will be used to purchase playground equipment for the summer! You can even go through the drive through like I did for lunch today!! Please let me know if you have any questions or need vouchers!
Thanks in advance!

Did you know walking, like other exercise, can help you achieve a number of important health benefits. Walking can help you:
• Lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol)
• Raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol)
• Lower your blood pressure
• Reduce your risk of or manage type 2 diabetes
• Manage your weight
• Improve your mood
• Stay strong and fit
Reminder: for every 50,000 steps you log on your pedometer your name will be entered into the HLC quarterly drawing. Just show your pedometer to HR to verify.

So I was speaking to Sue Fulton, our new director of home health and hospice, and it turns out she is a runner! So of course we traded our favorite books on running. She mentioned a couple by author John "the penquin" Bingham whom I hadn't even heard of. Something I intend to remedy. check this out: http://www.waddle-on.com/

Just got back from visiting my parents in Northern WI. I'm telling ya, things are different up there. For one, there are five food groups -- three of which are meat (the other two are beer and dairy). One of the myths under which "my people" operate is that eating bread, potatoes, rice are bad for you because they are "starches" and starch becomes fat. Maybe, I will be able to get them to read this book someday. http://drmcdougall.com/misc/2009nl/feb/starch.htm

Over 100 people attended this biannual McDougall event in Santa Rosa, California. As always the enthusiasm, education, food, and friendship were over the top—far greater than anyone expected.
