CURRENT EVENTS
WEIGHT WATCHERS AT WORK - SPRING 2007
It’s time to make
good on your New Year’s resolution
and right now it couldn’t be easier. Join Weight
Watchers at Work and attend
meetings once a week during your lunch break. Plus the
Wellness Committee will cover half your registration
fee!
Over 500 pounds have been lost cumulatively by Coast District
employees since July!
New groups are forming now on each campus. Contact your
Wellness Committee representative
to sign up today!
The goal of taking 10,000
steps a day is a rough
equivalent to the Surgeon
General’s recommendation
to accumulate 30 minutes
of activity most days of
the week. It should
be enough to reduce your
risk for disease and help
you lead a longer, healthier
life. Using the pedometer
provided by the Wellness
Committee, gradually increase
your activity throughout
the day.
(Consult your doctor before
beginning an exercise program.)
Ways
to increase your
daily activity:
●Start
a walking group with
your co-workers●Choose
weekend activities
that include walking,
such as museums or
visiting a nature
center●Walk
the dog●Take
the stairs when you
can●Park your
car further from
the entrance●When
shopping at the mall,
walk the length of
the mall at least
once before leaving●Walk
with your family
after meals. |
We’d love to hear
about your progress! Contact Anna
Hanlon to share your
story.
RELAY
FOR LIFE - AUGUST 2007
Relay For
Life is a fun-filled event
designed to celebrate survivorship
and raise money for research

Cancer Society. During
the event, teams of people
will gather at the Orange
Coast College track and
take turns walking or running
laps. Our goal is to keep
at least one team member
on the track at all times
for a 24 hour period.
