United Healthcare: May 2016 Dares + Giveaway

 We Dare You To…

May is one of my favorite months of the year. Why? The main reason is because it’s my birth month and I enjoy celebrating my birthday. For me it’s a time to reflect on the past year and set goals for the year ahead. I am typing this to you on my actual birthday (May 6th) and I’m going to share some goals I have for this upcoming year:

• Make Fitness a Regular Priority – This is something I’ve struggled with since becoming a mom. Some weeks I am awesome and work out 5 days a week. Other weeks I only work out once or twice. Sometimes I get really busy and am not able to work out at all. I hate when that happens and I want to get better at consistency. Even if it means doing a quick 15 minute HIIT workout in my living room after Awesome Toddler goes to bed I just need to make it happen.
• Complete the Redondo Beach triathlon – Last year I did the mini sprint when Baby Awesome was only 5 months old. This year I plan to do the sprint triathlon and swim twice a week as part of my training (see goal number one)
• Become More Efficient with my Time – I work in a service based business and realize my most valuable asset to both my work and my personal life is my time. I want to get better at organizing my time so I can be a better wife, mom, and business owner.
• Learn to Say No – This relates back to being efficient with my time. I need to learn my own limits and boundaries and be okay with having to say no sometimes.

If you’re unfamiliar with “We Dare You To Share,” it’s a community created by United Healthcare that provides healthy living information on things like nutrition exercise, health screenings and more. Every month they do several “dares” to encourage you to live a healthy and active lifestyle. This month there are three dares that focus on health care education:

1. Test Your Smarts – Test your knowledge on pharmacy benefits for a chance to win.
2. See & Sound Off- Share your opinion about using your health care benefits for a chance to win.
3. Puzzle – This month’s game is a puzzle instead of a concentration game. You get to match up the tiles. I was not good at this game. It took me 29 moves. Doh.
