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.

There is a new flower showing up at garden centers that is pure magic, in fact its official name is Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit. If you aren’t familiar with the name, it is a calibrachoa, a petunia relative. Double gives reference to flowers that in this case look like miniature roses.
Magic is your key descriptor telling you that the flower changes colors. The flowers start off a pleasant lemon yellow and then age to a rose pink.
Of course, to get to rose pink you have various shades along the way. Another magical aspect to me, the guru of captivating combinations is that it seems no matter the color you choose it will go with Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit calibrachoa.
