The Wellness Committee is on the lookout for a February recipient!

Here's a message from Bob regarding his鈥爌ersonal wellness plan?

Dear Wellness Committee members,

Thank-you for your consideration as "Fittest Employee", however I need to ask you to re-consider this title.

I have quit smoking. That was a great achievement after being an avid smoker for nearly 60 years.鈥 My by-pass surgery last August was an obvious motivator to quit smoking and made the successful endeavor relatively easy.

Since my surgery I have been battling serious weight gain issues. Efforts (diet and exercise) to get my weight under control have not been successful. I have been meeting with my doctor regarding these issues and will continue to try her suggested measures.

At this point I am not a success case and would not feel good about suggesting that other people should follow my path. When I begin to lose 30 pounds instead of gaining 30 pounds, I will let you know.

Thank you for your consideration. Please continue your efforts to encourage others to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Sincerely,

Bob Hedges
