The “Step in the Right Direction Challenge” continues this week.  Remember to email Jennifer Robbins the number of your daily steps each week.  This week’s nutrition tip is to eat a rainbow.  Aim to eat half a plate of veggies at lunch and dinner. All veggies have different vitamins and minerals so get a variety of types and colors.  Keep in mind that peas, corn, and potatoes count as a starch and not a veggie.
