This week in Meetings: "What's In, What's Out!"
Meeting Topic: August 31-September 6, 2014
The change of seasons can be the perfect time to say goodbye to unhelpful summer habits and hello to Plan-freshening moves! Take advantage of that freshly-sharpened-pencils feeling to mix things up as you head into fall. Varying your routine — even a little bit — keeps things interesting so you’re more likely to stick with healthy behavior!

Grilling this holiday weekend?
Here's a dessert to throw on there too!
"Grilled Pineapple with Coconut Sorbet"
Pointsplus Value = 3
6 Tbsp dried shredded and sweetened coconut meat
6 slice(s) pineapple, fresh, cored (about 1/2-inch-thick)*
1 Tbsp honey
1 1/2 cup(s) sorbet, coconut
Instructions:Heat a grill or stove-top grill pan.
Spread coconut evenly on a microwave-safe plate; microwave on high, tossing until lightly browned with some white shreds, checking after 30 second intervals.**
Brush pineapple with honey; grill until pineapple is lightly charred and tender, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
To serve, place 1 pineapple slice on each of 6 plates; top each with 1/4 cup sorbet and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon coconut. Serve immediately. Yields 1 per serving.

**We suggest microwaving the coconut so you don't have to heat up the kitchen. But you can toast the coconut on a sheet pan in the oven, stirring occasionally, at 300ºF, if desired. Or you can cook it in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned in spots.

This Week in Meetings: "Give Yourself a Break!"
Topic: August 24-30, 2014
You are the only thing standing in your own way, so stop the negative chatter in your head. You wouldn't talk that way to a friend, right? This week in meetings, we are going to discuss kinder (and smarter) tactics. We might think going negative can spur us to achieve our goals, but the opposite is true: self-compassion can help you stick to healthy actions that pay off at the scale.

"Create Smart Spaces!"
Meeting Topic of the Week: August 17-23, 2014
