Saving $$$

The Get Moving Get Healthy NJ Workplace program is saving money. This quote (yesterday) is from a program participant success story:
"At the beginning of this program I asked my co-workers not to include me when they went around the office to prepare an order for take-out lunch. Because I noticed when they asked, even if I brought my lunch, I would cave in and order something anyway! This way I was not tempted, I controlled my food intake and I saved money!"

Exactly what we are looking for...

After the success of Get Moving Get Healthy NJ Workplace in Atlantic County last year, we decided to pilot a follow-up 12-week series of healthy lifestyle information and strategies. Check out a success story reported by a program participant on the follow-up survey:

"Taking walks in the evenings, eating smaller portions, bring my lunch, reducing snacks, less salt and sugar, less caffeine, drinking more water, less soda"

Success story...

 I love the feedback we receive from Get Moving Get Healthy NJ Workplace participants. It looks like we are changing behavior to improve healthy lifestyle:

"The program kept me motivated! I've become much more calorie conscious and excited about meeting my daily goals! the phrase "empty calories" is a reminder for me when I even think about eating or drinking something! Learning how to relax and become stress free, too!"
