NO GARDEN IS COMPLETE WITHOUT TURNIPS
TURN UP WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE

TURN UP WITH SUCCESS

MAY YOUR GARDEN FLOURISH!!

All this positiveness from our garden can help us every day to be successful at weight loss. Vacation time is here and we can make it work for us!!

Vacations are about stress relief and taking care of ourselves. Having more time for ourselves for planning and fun activities can really help us stay in control. Planning and tracking can make vacations successful at the scale. We can enjoy the food we love and still stay on program.

This week at the meeting we will talk about tips for making summertime and vacation successful.
