Franklin TV: ReDieting – Again

It’s Baaaaaaaaack!

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 01/11/2026

We’re 11 days into 2026 – and counting. (‘Counting what?’ you may ask.) Counting days until we faceplant on our New Year’s resolutions. (Well, that’s a fairly negative outlook.) True, but the fact remains; most resolutions fade away by mid-month. This year I’m tackling three of them.

A. Keep things generally tidier. (Yeh. Good luck with that.)

B. Get more exercise. (Increasingly important.)

C. Lose weight. (Ah, yes. That perennial challenge.) (Sigh!)

Yet, diet we must. I’ve written much about dieting here – or ReDieting. The ‘Re’ part is a key acknowledgement that just because you (we/I) lost weight, that doesn’t mean you (we/I) can drift back to contentedly mindlessly binging on empty calories.

How we eat is a creeping habit. We become rehabituated, subtly slip-sliding in and through the ordinariness of our day-to-day circumstances. Time goes by-and-by, and you (we/I) find yourself (myself) off your (my) game – again. That diet discipline has dispersed, shifted. Shift happens. Hence, the most important aspect of the ReDiet? Monday!

That glorious Monday. It rolls around every week as an unavoidable trigger to rededicate yourself (myself) to restarting anew; redieting for just – one – day.

You (we/I) are/am back in training.

You (we/I) can make it through a day. Then, after a few weeks of Monday successes, you (we/I) can add a day later in the week. Now, it’s two days each week – and so on.

A small caution: ReDieting does not mean starving. (Although, it might feel like that.) Even dieting is subject to moderation. Consider that every 100 calorie gain or loss over a month of days is almost a pound. So, if you (we/I) can drop 300 calories on any given day, it’s decent progress, but not a huge ask. Now the trick is to start gradually lining up enough days each month to matter.

And – as always –

Thank you for watching.

FHS girls basketball tops Attleboro & gymnastics tops Foxboro on Friday

Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Winter sports competition for Franklin High School on Friday, January  9, 2026

Boys Basketball = Franklin, 51 @ Attleboro, 75 – Final

-  Attleboro built an early double-digit lead and then ran away with it in the second half, handing head coach Mark Houle his 400th career win with a convincing decision over Franklin. The Bombardiers were up 10 at the end of one (18-8) and at half time (33-23) and then dropped 22 points in the third quarter to create a comfortable cushion going into the fourth. Seven different Bombardiers contributed to the scoring in the big third quarter, including seven from senior Ladainian Rodrigues, who finished with a team-high 20 points and 11 rebounds. Senior Connor Houle added 10 points and seven assists, and junior Devin Dufresne chipped in with 11 points, including five in the opening quarter to help the hosts get off to a strong start. Sophomore Danny Santos scored a team-high 16 points for the Panthers while senior Ben Scaccia chipped in with 13 points.

Girls Basketball = Attleboro, 52 @ Franklin, 68 – Final 

– Franklin used a quick start, leading by nine after the first quarter, and carried that to a third straight win (and fourth win in the last six games). Tessah Rodrigues and Liz Dumais combined for 11 points in the opening eight minutes, as the Panthers jumped out to an 18-9 lead. The rest of the game was just about even. Dumais and Rodrigues combined for 10 points in the second to push the advantage to 11, then the Panthers sank a pair of threes and went 8-for-16 at the line in the third to make it a 13-point edge going to the final quarter. Tia Williamson scored nine of her team-high 16 points in the fourth, but the Panthers scored 21 in the frame to close out a big win. Dumais finished with 18 points, with three triples, to lead Franklin. Rodrigues added 15 points and freshman Brielle Nicholls scored 10. Kaylee Fernandes chipped in with seven. Mia Cooper knocked down three shots from beyond the arc and had a career-high 14, while Jenna Callahan and Lola Ronayne each scored six for the Bombardiers.

Swimming = Taunton @ Franklin, 6:45

FHS winter sports results for Wednesday, Jan 7

Via Instagram, Franklin TV, and our subscription to HockomockSports.com, we share the results of the Winter sports competition for Franklin High School on Wednesday, January  7, 2026

Boys Hockey = Franklin, 0 @ North Attleboro, 4 – Final

By Josh Perry || HockomockSports.com Managing Editor

"Going into the third period of Wednesday’s league opener at the New England Sports Village, North Attleboro had a one-goal lead over Franklin. Rocketeers coach Anthony Sarno, who coached the Panthers for two seasons, knew that his team couldn’t rest on that slim margin.

“Don’t take your foot off the gas because they’re not going to quit,” Sarno explained, when asked about his message to the team in the second intermission. “To play with a team like that, they’re hard, they’re physical, you’ve got to play through it. I’m proud, they all worked hard.”

The Rocketeers kept pushing and only 18 seconds into the third, Shaun Colonna managed to keep his balance after nearly falling under heavy pressure and he roofed a shot into the far corner to double North’s advantage.

North would score three times in the third and skate away with a comfortable 4-0 victory. It was North’s first win over Franklin since 2019, it’s third win in a row, and its second consecutive shutout."

Girls Hockey = Franklin, 1 @ Mansfield/Oliver Ames, 7 – Final

– Locked in a tie game late in the second period, the Warriors erupted for three goals in the last four minutes and added three more goals in the third period to get a big league win. Ella Cohen scored twice to lead the offense as the team generated sustained pressure and a steady stream of scoring chances. Annabelle Fanjoy, Ashleigh Cromack, Kayla Isleib, Kara Martin, and Georgia Hulbig also found the back of the net in a balanced scoring effort. Defenders Charlotte Ricketts and Ellie Lloyd anchored the blue line with a strong defensive performance, helping limit chances the other way. Forward Sophia Keach-DaRossa was effective around the net, creating traffic and contributing to the offensive zone presence throughout the game.
