The Owsley County EFNEP Assistant along with 11 parents ranging in ages from 21 - 55 participated in a nutritional and physical challenge to becoming a healthier you. Over a period of six weeks the assistant focused on budgeting and healthier meals, providing a healthier alternative recipe after each lesson. Followed by some type of physical activity while reviewing the progress in each participant.

The main focus was directed toward nutrition. A total of 36 pounds was lost during this challenge. Through this challenge families were being more active together and focusing more on healthier meals. Six parents reported that their menus had changed and they were focusing more on what their children ate. Participants are looking forward to another challenge for the coming year.
