Be Your Healthiest, Best Self in July and August
Summer Rewind
In case you missed it, we are re-running two previous summer programs. Both programs can be done on your own time!
Healthy Moments Bingo
Healthy Moments include “small” occasions when you are purposefully improving your health and well-being in areas of physical and mental health.
Bingo runs through Friday, Aug. 23
Once you register, you will receive an email with the Healthy Moments Bingo board and additional details. Simply print out your Bingo board and mark off each healthy moment you complete. Use the links in the email to help you complete the orange squares.
You will receive an email on Friday, Aug. 23 with a quick evaluation. You must complete that by Wednesday, Aug. 28 to be entered into the drawing for prizes. (Note: you do not need to send in a picture of your BINGO board. You’ll qualify for prizes by completing the evaluation).
- Complete 2 “BINGOs” (can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal) and submit on time to be entered to win a flying disc, Bare Minimum Cookbook, or Left Center Right dice game.
- Complete the entire board and submit on time to be entered to win a two-person pickle ball set!
Receive a complimentary item of choice!
The wellness team can send you items including resistance band, coloring book/colored pencils, water bottle, mini journal/motivational pen, thank you cards, positivity cards and more! Please note: there is a limited number of all items, so items are available while supplies last. Please email the wellness team to request your item of choice.
Summer Vibes
There is a different vibe in the summer months. There are warmer temperatures, longer daylight hours, outdoor activities, and a slightly slower pace, allowing a little more time to focus on your well-being.
Join us for a four-week, email-based journey to help prioritize the things that will nourish your well-being this summer and the year ahead! Participants will receive an email each week that explores slowing down, treating yourself, being playful and adventuring. Get ready for some inspiration, activities and recipes!
July 22-Aug. 19
- Monday, July 22: Slow down
- Monday, July 29: Treat yourself
- Monday, Aug. 5: Be playful
- Monday, Aug. 12: Adventure
- Monday, Aug. 19: Share your vibes to win!
Each week, be sure to take note of what you discover about your well-being. There will be an end-of-challenge evaluation. All participants who complete the evaluation will be entered to win one of two Summer Vibes gift baskets!
Summer Forward
If you’re looking for fresh new ideas, we have something for you!
A-maize-ing Produce Quiz
Summer produce is flourishing and abundant! In-season vegetables and fruits at their peak are bursting with sweetness and juiciness. Now is the time to take advantage of these in-season treats; using summer superstars like watermelon, berries, sweet corn, peppers, zucchini, and basil will add color and vibrant flavor to your meals.
Celebrate summer with your favorites and try something new as well! Complete the quiz by Friday, Aug. 16 for you chance to win a 5-piece set of fruit scoops/carvers/cutters!
SUmmer Steps Challenge
Walking is one of the simplest, positive behavior changes you can make to impact your health. This summer, we encourage you to get moving, through these 30-days and beyond!
We’ll be using the StepUp Pedometer app for the SUmmer Steps Challenge. Track your steps, compete with friends and be more active together!
July 22 – Aug. 20
StepUp works with just your phone in your pocket. Or you can easily synch wearables like Apple Watch, Mi Band via Apple Health & Google Fit.
We’ll email weekly updates of the leaderboard.
Want to organize your own team step challenge? Feel free to create a team challenge in the StepUp app. Email the wellness team with any questions.
Hydration Hustle
Summer is upon us, which means it is HOT HOT HOT outside. It is the perfect time to ensure we are hydrated! Spending time in the sun and the heat makes it easy for us to become dehydrated if we don’t intentionally replace the water we’re losing during these glorious summer days. Water is truly a wellness elixir, fueling our bodies, enhancing energy levels and keeping us at the top of our game.
Join us for the 7-day hydration hustle to help you stay hydrated and healthy throughout the summer and beyond! There are two options to participate in the email-based hydration hustle:
