Yoga at Ainsworth
Bradley Leininger is offering to teach an additional yoga class at AInsworth so we can have more than one class per week. Bradley will be teaching on a "donation" basis, meaning you can pay whatever feels comfortable. It will be nice to have have an additional style and time slot for yoga. It will still be suitable for participants at all levels. We are trying to figure out the best time to offer this new yoga class, so please use this poll by September 13 to let us know what works for you. Ainsworth Yoga Schedule poll
Weight Watchers At-Work
The Employee Wellness Committee will host an information meeting for anybody at MESD who would like to join an At-Work Weight Watchers meeting. We plan to have weekly meetings at the Ainsworth building, 7:30am, starting October 5. If I receive at least 15 RSVPs, we will plan to have an information meeting in room 346 at Ainsworth (room 346) on Thursday, September 28, 7:30am. There is no weigh-in at this meeting. It's just to get started.
Please note that October 1 is "clean slate" day, so if you have been enrolled in Weight Watchers and didn't make it to your meetings, OEBB is giving you a chance to start fresh. OEBB benefits cover the cost of Weight Watchers meetings and online!
We need minimum 15 people to have an At-Work meeting. The plan is for the weekly meetings to take place on Thursday mornings 7:30-8:00. We will probably be able to make it even shorter! (Note, on mornings when you're short on time, you can just pop in to get weighed - or even get a pass - and it will still count toward your participation.)
** For folks already doing Weight Watchers, if you are a Lifetime member and at goal, you don't count toward the minimum. If you are Lifetime and more than 5 lbs. over goal, you may enroll.
Please let me know if you think we have at least 15 people at another MESD location who are interested - I can set up an additional groups.
Weight Watchers is a super way to improve your nutrition and well-being. See https://www.weightwatchers.com/us/ for more information. You set a goal, receive guidance, weigh in privately weekly, and learn tips to help you succeed. You can do Weight Watchers on-line or sign up for meetings that are most convenient for you.
Please contact me by September 5 to let me know that you will come to the September 28 information meeting.
Best wishes,
