[Eoscstudents] Menu for Thurs. May 14

[Rhoda Watkins]

Hi folks,

Well, it looks like another wet day.  I remember lightning flashes 
waking me up last night, and noticing that my clock was blinking, so 
evidently our electricity got knocked out for a time.  It's a miracle we 
all woke up to come to work and go to school this morning, because I'm 
not at my best trying to fix the alarm when I'm already groggy.  The 
a.m.'s turn into p.m.'s a lot of times and I usually don't find it out 
until it's too late.  I must've gotten it right this time as we woke up 
on schedule pretty much.

Today is the final Biggest Loser weigh-in on our campus, so think light, 
people.  Today will determine who will walk away with the pot, bragging 
rights and quite a bit lighter than they started out being, and the 
winner will be announced next week.  I know I'm not the winner, I'm not 
much of a dieter, but I have lost a few pounds during the course of the 
contest, and started consciously thinking more about my eating habits.  
I'm more inclined to resist sitting around nibbling on something now 
than I was before.  Just thinking about going in there to face Loma and 
seeing the scales going up instead of down makes you feel really ashamed 
of yourself.  All in all, whether you're the winner or not, anyone who 
participated and got even a little bit motivated to do anything to get 
themselves in better physical condition is a winner.  Just keep in mind 
that we only get one body in this lifetime and it has to last as long as 
possible.  We have enough strikes against us with all sorts of diseases, 
ailments, environmental factors, etc. waiting to sneak up and cause us 
problems, without just letting ourselves get out of shape.  (And yes, I 
know round is a shape, but it's not the best shape for good health.)   
I'm hoping to have lost another pound or two when I go to weigh in 
today.  That should put me at a weight I've been hoping to see again for 
a while now, (one that I thought was just horribly huge when I was 20 
and skinny, but would love to see again now that I've been above and 
beyond it.)   I know there have been people asking the Staff Council if 
we'll be doing the Biggest Loser again next year already, so we're going 
to talk about that.  It seems to have been a really good thing, so if 
Loma is still willing to work with us, we'll probably try it again.

Our menu for today includes:
          Chicken chunks
          Chicken fried steak sandwich
          Mashed potatoes and gravy
          Green beans
          Corn
          Potato chips
         
And for dessert, create your own special concoction with our Ice Cream 
and Toppings.

Have a great day and good luck with finals,

Rhoda   :-)
