I live in South Africa and we have a program called vitality that rewards healthy behaviours. I have multiple products through the company so max out my rewards. One example of part of the system is: I get goals each week for physical activity, driving and money management. If I active all my physical ones for the month, they cover my instalment on my Apple Watch. If I get 11 of the 12 total goals for the month, they cover the instalment for my iPhone.
You also earn points for various check ups and other aspects of healthy living that add up to give you a score, which determines the level of your discount. For example, on the highest level I can get 30% discount In international flights.5 -

Yes x 3 for Friday
Dog walk, tracked and on target.
NSV
My back is feeling better and I'm back to tennis and online workouts. The victory is in seeing how fast my body can bounce back once I treat it right. Energy is up, it's feeling great to sweat again. Always makes me feel hopeful and productive to get the ball rolling.4 -
Excited that the community board works on my phone now!
Yes x's 3 today. Walked client dogs...my poor pup will have to go tomorrow, it was soooo windy here...thought my fence would break, but it hung in there.
My nsv is knowing that I am doing better things for my health by doing uac, sleeping more, exercising more, eating better. I can ealk up and down stairs normally... took 2.5 yrs after a fall to recover from muscle tears etc...and I know losing some weight really helped. Now...to lose more!
Have a good weekend...be safe out there.6 -

I have to admit, I’m in awe of what some of your insurance companies and employees are doing to reward healthy habits. What fantastic policies!
Exercise - yes
Tracked food - yes
Under cals - Nope. I came home from work to discover that hubby had baked not one, but two pecan pies. I had over 300 cals to spare but even a small piece of pie put me over. I only credit back calories burned from running, which I did not do yesterday so, I ended up way over.
Passes 4/3
Monthly goal: 6 passes
My NSV - no out of control snacking at work. I probably save 1000 calories a day not grabbing cookies or donuts or chips or granola bars etc. There were a couple times I was tempted, but when I saw how many calories they are, I was able to walk away. That is no small win for me!

I understand your frustration with the hubby baking pies! My hubby is a mechanic but has been told by many that he should be a chef! I had a tough conversation with him about his cooking sweets or stopping home after work to pick me up a treat, which I love, but only if planned in my food diary that day! He is listening to me even though he thinks it is CRAZY! You might consider having this conversation with your hubby too! I also am amazed by reading the posts about the insurance companies and the benefits offered. I will be checking mine to see if I missed any I should be aware of too! I could be spending extra money that I could be saving!0 -

Today (15th) I walked 55 mins on the treadmill at 3.0mph and gave a 60-minute massage. I also did 20 mins on the rebounder. An NSV for me has been my increased stamina. A month ago I couldn't "jog" 5 minutes (c25k), now I can "jog" 20 mins without stopping!
The company I work for (not the ins co) puts an additional $45/mo into my health care spending account if I get 7000+ steps for 20 days out of the month AND speak once per month with my "inspirator" (a counselor-type person from an independent company that calls me once/month to discuss my weight, meal planning, or nutrition, etc.) They also put another $22.50 in if my hubby gets 7000+ steps at least 20 days out of the month. (He doesn't have to speak to the inspirator because he isn't overweight!3 -

I'd say my NSV for this month is my stomach has been handling food better and I haven't had many headaches after switching to my diet!2
