On the blog, Emily Myers, special assistant in the Office of the Provost, writes about Salad Day, and how her Kent State colleagues are adapting to their unique weight-loss challenge.
Food Fools Update: Salad Day
“It was a more modest weight loss total this week – a mere 5 pounds for the group with a few pounds gained here and there….so it was good to focus on a healthy lunch. We met for Salad Day – those who had no meetings or commitments shared leafy greens and a variety of chopped veggies with some added protein of roasted chicken, shredded cheese and boiled eggs in small portions.”

Blogging about Diabetes? Who Me?
Paula DiVencenzo, tax manager with Tax and Treasury Services at Kent State, writes about how she has learned to live with diabetes and her volunteer work with the American Diabetes Association.
“My parents and I started volunteering with the American Diabetes Association (ADA) when I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 12. I had been involved ever since. Working with ADA helped me understand that I was not alone with diabetes.”
