On the Mend, Still!
Posted by Ollie West at 8:32pm on Wed 30 Jan 08
It’s Saturday morning. After dragging myself out of bed, and eating a rather rushed breakfast; I’m on my way to my next Mend session! For the first time, we’re going to do some EXCERCISE. O_O. But before, we have a session on nutritional nformation! Refined versus unrefined food – the talk is interesting and makes you really think about how all the processes take away all the goodness and then add more badness like sugar and salt – Mum’s been saying this for ages, but now hearing it from someone else makes it more important! Each week we are given a nutritional target based around what we have discussed – this week it is to substitute a processed food with an unprocessed equivalent – mine is to swap fish fingers for fresh fish - easy peasy.......!

Then we (the children) went down to the hall, with teamleader Brett. We played LOADS of great games; Dodgeball, Duck Duck Goose, Boat Races, pass-the-hoop! Naturally, my team, consisting of Jessie, Hannah and Me won EVERY time! Let’s just forget about the minor fact that we were the only three.^-^. Some of the excercises were to help people remember others’ names, some were to run about, lots of different things! It was all fun. The hour seemed to pass very quickly, and before we knew it, we were greeting our parents with our smiley bright red faces. It’s true exercise can be fun!

Hi Rachel and anyone else who's keen to join a MEND Programme!
All you need to do is get your parent or guardian to give us a call at the MEND head office and we'll take your details and see if there are spaces on a course nearby. It's also possible to register interest via our website www.mendprogramme.org
We look forward to hearing from you!
Caroline
