Make your health a priority this year
WA-RITE
The Wa-Rite Club meets on Fridays from 9-10 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Female LW residents interested in losing weight are welcome to visit, and should arrive no later than 8:45 a.m.
On Jan. 16, the club welcomed new members and some old friends. Henrietta Peavy was named a top loser for losing 4.5 pounds in one week. She focused on being mindful and prioritizing her goals. The club lost a total of 21 pounds.
The rest of the meeting was dedicated to a presentation on mason jar soup by Vice President Marina Tesla. She brought food and materials to demonstrate this technique on preparation and assembly of a single serving of minestrone or pho. Fresh soup ingredients are layered in a jar, then covered with lid and put in a refrigerator. The ingredients can be customized to personal taste and dietary restrictions. After adding hot liquid (water or broth) and letting it steep for a few minutes, the soup is ready to eat straight from the jar. This quick-and-easy recipe is also a good on-the-go meal, and the best part is no cooking or cleaning up is required.
