Center of Disease Control, are ready to get involved and do our part! This one year program allows at-risk, pre-diabetic

participants to meet regularly with a lifestyle coach, learn proper fitness & nutrition habits, and make behavioral

changes to their current lifestyle. Not sure if you qualify? Visit the Member Services Desk to take the test, and know your score. Questions? Contact Stephen Taylor at

HEALTHY VALENTINE’S DAY

1. Spend quality time together that doesn’t involve food; go

ice skating, build a fire, go see a show, or visit the Y!

2. Send healthy options to your child’s school for Valentine’s

Day; stickers, mini boxes of raisins, or pencils.

3. Cook a healthy, romantic meal at home.

4. Going out to eat? Split an entrée for two.

5. Can’t stay away from the box of chocolates? Pace yourself by putting

them in the refrigerator and enjoying

one a week.

6. Share the love! Use your words to tell someone how you feel. Nothing beats a handwritten note, a nice card, or telling

someone, “You know what? I love you!”
