Wouldn’t it be great to earn real rewards that can amount to real dollars being saved at the checkout lane? Wouldn’t it be great to save money while being encouraged to live a healthy lifestyle?
I have to shout a big, “Yes!” to both of those things.
As a wife and mom on a journey to lose weight and be healthy…and as a girl who knows it ISN’T going to happen overnight (but I’m in it for the long haul)…I need motivation to keep moving forward. I need encouragement to keep going and not give up, even when the scale makes me feel like I should’ve never stepped on it in the first place, because it’s not showing me the numbers I want to see.
Staying Motivated
I have a number of ways that I stay motivated to be healthy. They’re sort of my little tool kit that keeps me going.ย One of those tools that I know I’ll be using for the long haul is the Steps with Balance Rewards program with Walgreens.
Have you heard of it?
It’s a neat program where you earn Balance Rewards for setting goals (such as weight loss goals), and you can even earn rewards for exercising. For example, last week I walked on the treadmill for nearly three hours, and I earned rewards for doing so. No pedometer or anything special was needed to track my walking. I simply input the information into my Steps with Balance Rewards account, and I was rewarded points.
Easy, right?
In a nutshell, here’s what you can do with the Steps with Balance Rewards program:
- Earn points for walking, running, and tracking your weight (set goals easily on the website)
- Track progress toward meeting your goals
- Sync a device to log activity while you are out
- Connect with friends in Walgreens’ revamped community forum
How Balance Rewards turn into Real Savings
As I accumulate rewards, they will eventually translate into money that can be taken off of my total when I checkout at Walgreens. That’s pretty great.
How to sign up!
I’ve created a ‘pin’ able graphic to show just how easy it is to get started with the Steps with Balance Rewards program.
Simply hit the ‘Pin it’ button at the top of this post to pin this graphic and refer back to later. ๐
Overall, I’m really enjoying this program. I love this it’s another tool in my belt on this journey to lose weight and be healthy for myself and my family.
One more thing you might be interested in knowing…
Walgreens has a ‘Step Up To Win’ sweepstakes going on right now, which has daily instant win prizes and a grand prize, a trip to The Biggest Loser resort of the winner’s choice — that would be a great trip to win!
So…how do you stay motivated to live a healthy lifestyle? What’s in your tool kit that keeps you going?
