Stay Hydrated Challenge: March 8-April 4

Stay Hydrated Challenge

Hey everyone! I need help. I have got to get myself to take the time to drink some water during the day. So, I’m going to run the Stay Hydrated Challenge to give myself the boost and incentive I need to drink my water. You are all welcome to join me and if you do, you will earn 10 PATHpoints towards the 200 needed for a $100  L.L. Bean gift card. 


I have found that I am drinking much less water this year. I used to drink 1-2 bottles of water a day while at school. Now I find I take 1 sip. Just one sip - all day! It’s crazy! Over the next 30 days I’m going to try to get back on track and take better care of myself by staying hydrated. 


Here is the skinny on the hydration challenge:


  1. A 30 day challenge sponsored by your wellness team and ReArch (thanks for the water bottles!)

  2. By completing this challenge you earn 10 PATH points towards your gift card

  3. ReArch is providing water bottles for the first 30 people who sign up!



What do you need to do:


  1. Let Nan (njohnson@wsdvt.org) know you want to join by Sunday, March 7

  2. Set a personal goal to increase your water intake. 

  3. Answer one quick survey at the end of 30 days to earn your points.


This Challenge runs from 
March 8 - April 4.

Let me know if you want to join or if you have any questions about this challenge and/or earning more PATH points.
