As we wrap up 2019 during this holiday season,

if we can try to be kinder, a little more

understanding, show a little more compassion

towards our fellow man, and just breathe, our

world and our season should be brighter. This

season is more about what we give than what we

receive because it is true that the more you give

the more you get back. Wishing all of you the

merriest of Holidays!

Fit Tip Holiday Havoc!

Even if you have superhuman willpower, the holidays are difficult

for everyone. Staying on track can seem so daunting, you feel like

swan-diving into the eggnog and sending your sensible routine into

hibernation until the New Year. As we all know, excess pounds don't

disappear along with the decorations. Nobody wants to start the

New Year in the hole, body-wise. Here are some ways to enjoy the

holidays without throwing away your healthy habits. Be picky!

Peruse the buffet before you load

your plate. If you pick what you

really want in moderation, you'll

stop those troublesome cravings.

Willpower is like a muscle: Work it

and you get stronger. Be sure to

eat your three squares and a couple

of snacks like fruits, veggies, whole

grains, and lean protein. Don’t

swear off desserts. Practice the 3

bite rule to keep your sweet tooth

in check. You'll get that amazing

first taste, a satisfying middle one,

and then a lingering third bite.

Avoid morning after foods. Send

guests home with leftovers. Out of

sight, out of mind! Brew a pot of

peppermint tea. Research shows

peppermint can help calm stomach

muscles and reduce gas. Chew

Slowly. Eating fast is a quick

recipe for an expanded waistline.

Air swallowed will cause bloating.

Exercise with a supportive friend.

Our Wellness Center is open to

your 35 years and older friends and

family. New Year, New You!

party at Olivedale. December is also when the

bulk of the comfort quilts are distributed to various

community groups. We are looking forward to the

new year for opportunities to learn and practice

new quilting techniques. Quilters of all levels are

Thursdays at 9:00a.

Rambling Designers Garden Club

The Rambling Designers Garden Club will have

their annual Christmas luncheon at 12:00p on

Tuesday, December 3 at Olivedale. Blue Moon

Spouses are welcome. Members who have a

“Secret Friend” should bring a gift for your friend

and reveal your identity inside the gift. Those who

wish to participate in the Crazy Santa game should

bring a wrapped gift for the game (suggested value

around $10). Members who plan to attend the

luncheon should have their reservations to Mike

Stasiak by November 26.

Red Glad Hatters

The Red Glad Hatters will have their annual

Christmas luncheon on Friday, December 13 at

12:00p at the Rising House, 131 North High St.

Lancaster. Please make your reservations no later

Jeanie Hughes. We are blessed to share this

magical time of the season as we end another

wonderful year as Red Hat Sisters. We will be

having a $10 gift exchange for those who would

like to participate. Our Christmas food pantry

drive will continue and any canned goods you wish

to donate will be appreciated.

control. The Peking Acrobats® are performing at

the Southern Theatre located in Columbus on
