A year ago, I began my Thrive Challenge after an associate showed me the app. It looked really interesting and simple. I wanted to focus on being more active and eating healthier. For me, that meant walking to work every day, taking walks around town, and drinking less soda. I went from having 4-32 ounce sodas a day to just one. That is what is great about the Thrive Challenge — it’s not an all or nothing challenge. Now, I drink water and I feel so much better!
- I lowered my soda intake and replaced it with water.
- My family saves their spare change now in a mason jar. It all adds up!
- I made walking to work my new transportation. It gives me energy and saves money.
With my newfound energy, I feel more motivated to do things. I spend more time with my family, take on projects around the house that I’ve been putting off, and have extra money to finish them. To me, Thrive is all about doing better each day. I have lost weight, I am more connected to family, and most of all I feel great!
