Diet and exercise series offered at Montague
This is the time of year when everyone seems to be saying to themselves, “maybe I should start exercising or dieting.”
Just in time for any new resolutions of a healthy lifestyle, the local Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office is launching “Step Up & Scale Down,” a new 12-week weight management program to help the public in their efforts.
The series will kick off Aug. 31 at Montague County Courthouse Annex Community Room.
Classes will be at noon for 12 consecutive Fridays. The program consists of weekly lessons to help participants move toward a healthier weight and includes a weekly weight check-in, weekly challenge to “stay the course,” Dinner Tonight! healthy recipes and tips, exercise resources and a weight-loss planner. The Step Up & Scale Down program is based on the United States Department of Agriculture Dietary Guidelines, which are intended to help Americans choose a healthful eating plan. “Step Up & Scale Down is a researched-based program that has proven success in weight management and building healthy lifestyle habits,” Melanie said.
Cost for the 12-week program is $40, which includes all course materials.
Pre-registration is available until Aug. 17 online at https://agriliferegister.tamu.edu/SUSD.

Lent has just ended and if you observed it in any way, strictly or somewhere in the middle, you probably felt it. That slow shift in how you cook, what you reach for, and how often you stand in the kitchen wondering what else there is besides peanut butter and pimento cheese. But there is something about going through a season like that that resets your perspective.
You come out the other side appreciating things you did not think twice about before, and sometimes you discover a few new ones along the way.
As a kid, the frozen seafood we ate came in a rectangular box and answered to the name fish sticks.
They were breaded within an inch of their life, cooked until vaguely crisp, and served with enough ketchup to make you forget what you were eating.
They were not great. They were fine, which for a long time was about the best you could say for most frozen fish. And that stuck with me.
