Principals' Fitness Challenge 4 Winner

Congratulations to principal Chuck Roe and his staff from Janet Brockett Elementary for winning the fourth challenge in the Methodist Mansfield Medical Center's Principals' Fitness Challenge.

Challenge 4 was entitled, Eating smart for busy people.

Mr. Roe successfully motivated his 63 teachers to eat smarter by providing healthy snacks, offering ongoing encouragement, and fostering teamwork.

From the Challenge:
"Eating smart for busy people. Small changes can add up to long term weight loss.

1. Start everyday with a healthy breakfast — whole grains, fruit or protein — within 2 hours of waking up 
2. Eat a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack of fruit and/or protein
3. No fried food

Make the most of your snacks. If carefully chosen, snacks can fill in nutritional gaps and boost energy without causing weight gain worries.
