Wellness Champions
Congratulations to Joel Gallagher for being named the August Wellness Champion! She received two nominations for this recognition! She has encouraged others to join Weight Watchers, a program that has helped her lose more than 35 pounds in five months. Joel’s positive attitude, discipline to stick with a healthy meal plan, and encouragement are an inspiration to those around her.
Michelle Daniels is the Wellness Champion for the month of September. Since March, she has lost nearly 30 pounds by eating frequent small meals, seeing a personal fitness coach once a week, and getting up early to work out on other days. She comes to work with a positive attitude and has developed a mantra: “You have to get your mind right.” Congratulations, Michelle!
