Volunteering at the YMCA
We know that it's important to share our time, talent and/or treasure with our community, regardless of how broadly or closely we define that community. And you needn't look any further than your YMCA for opportunities to share your gifts. From volunteering to coach a youth sports team, helping with YMCA Healthy Kids Day, assisting with office work, reading to our preschool children or making a monetary contribution to our Strong Communities Campaign, there are hosts of ways to involve yourself with your YMCA.

Stay On Track For
A Healthy 2009!
If you are trying to become more active and are looking to incorporate healthier choices into your lifestyle, start small, and mix it up. We all have habits that are tough to break, and by trying to make all those healthful changes at once, we can set ourselves up for frustration and failure. It's OK to make big changes through small steps. Try any of these small changes: · Add just one fruit or vegetable and one glass of water to your diet each day. · Add a short after-dinner walk to your routine once or twice a week. · Use smaller plates and bowls to avoid large portions. · Ask the restaurant to remove the bread basket after
you've enjoyed one treat. · Take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. · Don't watch the kids play, play with them! · If there's a food you love, don't deprive yourself. Keep the portion small and savor every bite. |
