Among the teams, I have heard many ideas for motivation and engagment;

  • Seeking out new walking routes on campus

  • Trying to add a fruit or veggie to your day

  • Weighing in as a team in their clinic

  • Healthy lunch potlucks
What are you doing to motivate yourself or teammates during the 100 Day Challenge?
