Cox Monett offers many ways of getting fit

Cox Monett offers adult, adolescent programs

By Melonie Roberts reporter@monett-times.com

For some, the New Year comes with resolutions to get healthy, quit smoking, exercise and be financially responsible.

Typically, by February those resolutions have fallen far by the wayside as people get caught up in work, children and life events.

Cox Monett offers two weight management programs, one for adults and the other for adolescents, along with exercise and nutrition education to help people meet their weight loss goals.

Committed to Kids is an eight-week program for overweight teens and their families to work together to overcome health issues, including obesity and low self-esteem.

“We know if one parent is obese, the child has a 50 percent chance of becoming obese,” said Lauren Holland, community educator with the hospital. “If both parents are obese, the child has an 80 percent chance of becoming obese.”

The eight-week program focuses on educating the entire family, and each member submits a weekly food and exercise log and the number of steps walked each day, tracked by a pedometer.

“It’s a multi-discipline approach,” Holland said. “We have a dietician, counselor and an exercise specialist working with families as well.”

The program doesn’t just focus on the adolescent, but the entire family’s eating choices.

“As parents, we buy the groceries, typically convenience foods,” Holland said. “Parents are stocking their cabinets with the wrong food. It’s easy to do.

This program encourages parents to be committed to changing their habits so their child can make the right choices at home.”

For adults fighting the battle of the bulge, the Journeys program offers nutrition, exercise and counseling as well.

“We start with lipid panels and measure body fat, height, weight, waist circumference and body mass index,” said Nancy Ridgley, the lead for the Center for Health Improvement. “I review those

Lauren Holland and Katlyn Osborn get in some work with weights on the exercise balls during the Committed to Kids program, offered at Cox Monett. The program teaches participants and their families about healthy eating, portion control, exercise and emotional well-being. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com results and sit down with the individual to set goals for weight loss. If the person is committed to the program, they will lose the weight.”

But, Ridgley said a lot of the weight loss issues with some people are mental.

“People are afraid of the exercise program,” Ridgley said. “Some people think they haven’t exercised in years — or ever — and are intimidated by the thought of the exercise program. Those exercises can be modified for each individual. For

example, if a person can’t do a traditional push-up, they can do them against the wall. Same for squats. They can do the modified exercises until they can start the traditional exercises.”

Ridgley said the program is intense.

“We focus on a whole body workout,” she explained. “Cardio, strength, endurance and flexibility. You can have people who can lift heavy weights, but not be able to run around the block or touch their toes. It takes all four to be

physically fit.”

Ridgley said the exercises vary each week, focusing on strengthening the core muscle groups of the body.

“If the core isn’t strong, the arms and legs aren’t either,” Ridgley said.

People join the program for a variety of reasons, but the primary one is health.

Obesity can cause a plethora of disease or illnesses, including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, sleep apnea, Continued on Page 6

osteoarthritis, gout, cancer and stroke.

“When we’re younger, our metabolism works when we’re eating more,” Ridgley said. “As we age, metabolism slows down and we gain weight when we continue to eat the same way and become more sedentary. We encourage participants to get 10,000 steps per day, and give them a pedometer to keep track.”

The structured meal plan may seem restrictive at first, but Ridgley said it is designed to break bad habits.

“Each week, we learn to change behaviors,” she said. “We eventually incorporate food back into the healthy eating plan, but we start by breaking bad habits.”

For some, the thought of diet automatically brings a negative connotation to any program.

“This is not a diet, it’s not short term,” Ridgley said. “It’s a lifestyle. We have a licensed counselor who works with people to change the way they think about food.

With those changes in thought processes comes the weight loss and the healthy person.”

The program has an 86 percent completion rate for the first 10 weeks, with an average of 10 percent weight loss.

About 48 percent of participants complete the entire 20-week program.

“Those people are very successful,” Ridgley said.

“You’ll see those people come back in and exercise every week with the rest of the group. By staying in a structured, supportive group, they continue to be successful with their weight management

People participating in the Journeys program should be prepared for some intense workouts during the 20-week program. The exercise component is only one part of the lifestyle change that brings about lifetime fitness. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com

Whatever an individual’s weight loss goals for the new year may be, Ridgley has some good advice.

“Find something you love and get moving,” she said. “Avoid eating out. At the grocery store, look for colors, those yellows, oranges and

dark greens. Add some protein and get plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. But most importantly, stay moving.”

Ridgley said the goal of the program is to improve the quality of people’s lives.

Drunk driver can’t forgive himself for taking a life

D

EAR ABBY: I am 42 years old and a divorced father of two. Earlier this year, I caused a fatal drunk driving accident. Once I came to and realized what I had done, I accepted responsibility and pled guilty to my crime. I have never before been in trouble with the authorities.

I believe God has forgiven me. I know my extremely supportive family and friends have also forgiven me. But how do I forgive myself?

I think about it and cry daily for my victim and that family. I pray they will find some comfort that I am behind bars.

I plan to volunteer and use my time to help others as I have done in the past, once I am free.

I also plan to tell my story to as many people as will listen to help stop the senseless act of driving under the influence.

I can never, and will never, forget what I have done. But I know I must forgive myself in order to move forward and start helping others. Any advice or suggestions you can give to help me work on forgiveness while I am in here would be greatly appreciated.

ated would be to start a dialogue with the clergyperson of your faith who ministers to the prison population.

Because re-entry into the larger community can be stressful, if substance abuse counseling is available, join a group. It might help you avoid falling back into old habits upon your release.

DEAR ABBY: I am the owner of an art gallery and often host shows with a reception to introduce artists.

This generates interest in their artworks among patrons purchasing a piece for their home or to add to their collection. We provide hors d’oeuvres and beverages for our clients and potential clients.

Several individuals come to our receptions and heap food on their plates, often filling them a second time and sometimes a third. One woman has carried food out, saying it was for her husband who was waiting outside. (He must have been hiding, because I watched her get into her car alone

and drive off.)

Abby, these people rarely even look at the art, let alone buy anything. They just eat and leave. My gallery is in a fairly small community, so I don’t want to be rude, but how can I tactfully tell these people to ease on down the road?

— NOT RUNNING A SOUP KITCHEN

DEAR NOT: Have an employee monitor the food display, and when someone is spotted taking food outside or pigging out, have the employee quietly intervene. As for individuals who come to your gallery only to eat — and by now you know who they are — greet them politely and suggest quietly that because it is clear that your taste in art and theirs is not the same, it would be better if they shopped

elsewhere.

P.S. And if attendance to these openings is by invitation, simply stop inviting the offenders.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Just for Your Valentine Send Us Or Bring Us A Cute Photo Of Your Child or Grandchild Men and women sacrifice in service to their country for many reasons.

Secrecy in government is not one of them.

State law requires government entities at all levels, from water districts to city councils and school boards, to place notices of many of their activities in a legal newspaper. This is a legal newspaper.

Stay current.

Call 235.3135 to subscribe to The Monett Times. www.monett-times.com

A printed notice in this newspaper can’t be hacked into like a website. It’s permanent. The date in the corner proves it was printed when required. It can be trusted without question in these times when trust in government is so low.

Would a similar notice posted somewhere on the internet provide the same measure of transparency?

The answer to that is obvious.

No, it would not.

We will place the photo in a frame similar to the one to the left.

Your little valentine will appear in The Monett Times on Saturday, February 14, 2015.
