Tonight was a lot of fun, in spite of the cold and damp weather. We started off the evening by having supper together at McDonald's. The place was packed because of a school that had also stopped for supper; however, they cleared out pretty quickly and things quieted down for us so we could enjoy our meal together.

We were very lucky and had a guest speaker join us tonight to talk to us about healthy eating. Christina Erickson is a dietetic intern with the Center for Disabilities. She brought in a variety of food models and showed us what would be appropriate portion sizes. Christina also talked to us about the food pyramid and we all learned that we are NOT eating enough vegetables. We then took some time to talk about what a healthy plate would look like. Christina helped us all learn some tips on how to eat healthier.

We did not have time to watch any of our videos, so we spent the rest of the night reading our new book. Erin & Chana took some time to write up some thoughts about class tonight:
