TOPS Nashville starts the year with new weigh-ins and wellness goals

On Jan. 7, TOPS1573 Nashville opened with pledges.

All members begin with a new weight during the first meeting of the year.

Lana Rush was the best KOPS. She advised watching the amount of carbohydrates consumed.

The Easy as A B C: 26-Day Healthy Eating Contest continues.

Bonnie Porter presented a program from the TOPS website titled 4 Nourishing Practices for a Healthier You. The program emphasized prioritizing sleep, followed by speaking kindly — especially to oneself — and avoiding self-criticism after making mistakes. It also highlighted the importance of regular exercise and stretching. Healthy nutrition was described as eating a variety of foods that include all colors, with an overall focus on being kind to the body.

The club meets at the Nashville Global Methodist Church Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m., with weigh-in at 5 p.m.
