The Get Fit Through the Holidays Challenge is almost over and we're all waiting to see which team takes the grand prize. Congratulations to all of you who have stayed focused for the weeks during the challenge and good luck!
Many of you have also expressed regret that the challenge is finally over -- but is it? As far as Ignite goes, we're only just getting started....there is so much more we plan to accomplish for the year and all of it will be focused around health care for you and your families.
So continue to stay tuned into Ignite and to keep health care on your mind. And, in that spirit, if you’ve not already done so; here’s a quick “exercise” (no sweat involved 
) that you can complete – the My e-Checkup health risk assessment tool. This is an online tool that is available to all consumers on the Lumenos plan. The tool asks you some basic questions on personal habits and family/medical history and then helps you identify potential health risks as well as learn what you can do to help improve your health.
To access this tool you need to log in to your account and go to the My Health page. Here, under Stay Healthy, click into the My e-Checkup link. I’ve found this tool to be a quick snapshot of my current health status. Once you know your current health status, you have a solid base to begin to set your health goals for the year. I’ve taken My e-Checkup (it took me no more than 15 minutes) and was able to set my goals for this year. It’s a start and when I get to the end of the year, I’ll update my information in the tool to measure my progress.
So take 15 minutes to complete the My e-Checkup and let me know if you found it as useful as I did.
