My Wellness Journey

Wellness Journey of Jennifer DeRuiter, Karin Donnelly, & Kristy Prentice

The three of us had never been on a Staywell team together.  We decided to form out team because we all share the same drive and competitiveness to be healthy and stay active.  The Staywell Challenge was perfect for the three of us, since it allows us to do these things with friends as motivators/team members.

My name is Karin.
I enjoyed the Staywell Challenge, because it gave me the motivation I needed to exercise, helped me to stay on task with eating vegetables/fruits, and to get enough sleep.  The hardest part of Stay well was the sleep.  I usually only get 5 -6 hours, so I had to think about what time to got to bed to ensure I met the sleep requirements.  I hope to STAYWELL after the challenge.

My name is Kristy.
 I love to work out.  However, in the winter after work I just want to come home and relax.  The Staywell Challenge helped in motivating me to work out especially since I have a team to help encourage me.

My name is Jen.
I get a lot of exercise chasing after my three young children.  On a daily basis I struggle to eat enough fruit/veggies and drink my water.  Staywell has encouraged me to begin eating healthy.
