Family Photo Contest

We are kicking off our Healthy Family Photo Contest this month. You can earn a LiveWell Credit by submitting a photo of you and your family members demonstrating a healthy activity. If you are already participating in the Team Up Challenge, grab your loved ones and bring them along to walk, jog, play tennis, snow shoe (who still has snow in their region?) or participate in any other healthy activity that you enjoy doing together.

Submit your photo to [email protected] and your photo may win you a prize and be featured in future LiveWell communications.

The Team Up Challenge Stage 2 standings are posted on the LiveWell site. There have been some major strides made by several teams to gain a footing in the top ten. Captains, your encouragement and example goes a long way to move your group. I’d love to hear what’s working for your team. Please feel free to contribute your healthy strategies in the comments section.

Keep on moving!

Registration for the 2015 Team Up to LiveWell Challenge will open February 2nd on the LiveWell web site. Team Captains must register their teams before individuals can register. Registration will run through February 22nd.

The Challenge will run from Monday, March 2nd through Sunday, April 26th. More news will follow shortly on this year's Team Up Challenge.

The LiveWell Guy Slips Badly We had quite the rough winter in the northeast. If the news I saw from much of the rest of the continent was accurate, we were not alone. Unless you are a skier, snowboarder or sledder, you were likely driven indoors – except for when you were shoveling or cleaning off cars...
