2012-13 Kane County School District Wellness Program
The 2012-13 Kane County School District Wellness Program got off to a great start with more than 75 District employees registering for the initial challenge. After setting goals and getting started just after Thanksgiving, our Christmas break was upon us. Along with the joy of being with family and friends came the ultimate health challenge ... cookies, candy, and MY personal favorite - PIE!!! It was easy to fall off of a regular schedule, oversleep, overeat, and skip exercise. My personal willpower is weak, but the holidays amplified that ten-fold.
Now we're well into the New Year and it's time to get serious! What goals did you set? Here are some goals being pursued this year by our employees:
We can get all these things under control, but it's a lot easier to have a workout buddy (someone to DRAAAAAG you to the gym) or a group of like-minded people to help. This year, the Wellness Committee will frequently be announcing new programs or ideas to help you reach your goals.
