As a Professional, Wife, and Mom to 2 small girls (10 months and 3 years old) I find it to be a tremendous task to fit wellness/gym activities into my day…we spend too much time caring for others!
In an attempt to lower healthcare costs human resource departments are taking proactive measures to promote wellness within the workplace. South Carolina Federal Credit Union remains a step-ahead by promoting wellness at work through a Wellness Challenge! Employees are encouraged to participate by creating teams in groups of 3-5 and challenge the senior management team in either a weight loss or maintenance competition…the reward?…Wellness hours and most importantly a healthier YOU!
Some small things I have started doing to promote a healthier me include, looking for the furthest parking space instead of rushing for the closest, using the steps (yes even in 3” heels!), following the 4 Day Diet plan by Dr. Ian K. Smith, using my lunch to do small work-outs, keeping a food journal, etc. Does your employer promote wellness at work? If not, make this "wellness in the workplace" suggestion in the suggestion box! If yes, share your comments and tell me about it! For a working Professional, Wife and Mom like me these Employer of Choice benefits are a must!

Nicole- Thank you for your comment! The link is great, thanks for posting…I will add this to my iGoogle page as well! The link offers really cool and quick educational tips on making smart decisions with your food selections! For example, instead of ice-cream, try frozen yogurt topped with fat-free, non-dairy whip topping.
Umm…I don’t know about that. Aren’t you worried about sweating too much…for that matter, jumping jacks are pretty big attention getters.
Cindia,
Not sure I totally follow….
