I've Got $250 Extra In My Pocket

I got the official work that my Heath Questioner was received by Blue Cross of Idaho and I was awarded the final points needed to earn $250 dollar.  Yahoooo!  That was the easiest $250 I have ever made!  Having already adopted a healthy lifestyle helped me earn my points a little bit faster.  I also jumped right in earning points watching videos and taking a wellness class on back pain.  Even though I have earned 100 points I am still participating in the Mt. Everest Challenge.  I was to earn 10 points for that challenge but it doesn’t look like I need to now.

Total Available Points: 100

Wellness Workshop Earned Points Understanding Back Pain 10 Quiz Earned Points 5 Points for Five Tips for Healthy Eating 5 5 Points for Preventing Heart Disease in Women: First Steps 5 5 Points for Positive Thinking: 5 Capped maximum quiz Points for campaign 10 Proactive Preventive Activity Earned Points 30 Points for Completing the Personal Health Assessment 30 50 Points for screening data received 50 Overall Max Points 100 Total Points Earned 100 Total Available Points 100

Even though the maximum points for taking the quizzes (after watching a short video) was met I enjoyed watching additional videos.  There is a lot of great stuff out on the Thrive Idaho Website.  I look forward to seeing what is to come.

Want to know what I bought with part of my reward?

New tennis shoes!  I just bought some new Brooks Ghost 6 but I’d been eyeing the brand new Ghost 7 in this super fabulous electric blue color.  I went to Dick’s Sporting Goods to see if I could look at the color in-person vs. ordering online and I found out the Asics Gel-Kayano 20 was on sale for the same price as the Brooks Ghost 7.  SCORE!  I tried on a pair and remembered instantly why I love the Gel-Kayano so much they were just getting too expensive.  I found an even better deal on Amazon and a super fun color.  These were $20 less than the Ghost 7 pair and $60 less than regular retail price.  WhooooHoooo.
