Finally some positive wellness news.

If you're a loyal reader you may remember me speaking of a Wellness Challenge going on in our office, if you're not you probably don't, and quite possibly don't care. Actually even if you are a loyal reader you may not care.

Irregardless I will continue with my story.

My team won the May challenge! Whoop whoop! We each won a $50 VISA gift card to reward us for our efforts. Oh so worth the annoyance of wearing a pedometer, that pretty much looks like a 90's pager, on my hip every day.

I keep thinking people will start dropping off and it will get less and less competitive each month, therefore making it easier for my team to win. Just the opposite is happening though. People are biking to work and actually going to the gym to increase their steps each month. It's crazy but at least the end result, even if we lose for the rest of the year, is a positive one and we're all a little healthier (not to mention, at a minimum, $50 richer!).
