Making Healthy Choices

Filed Under: Health Tagged With: balance rewards, collective bias, healthy choices, sponsored, walgreens, weight loss

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #BalanceRewards #CollectiveBias


As you all know I am well on my way to changing my lifestyle and losing a bunch of weight. If you have missed that check out my weight loss posts. Well, today I am going to share how you can start making healthy choices and begin a journey of your own while earning Walgreens Balance Rewards. What are Balance Rewards? For every 5,000 points you earn $5 to spend at Walgreens. Making Healthy Choices | #BalanceRewards #CollectiveBias #shop
You are able to earn Balance Rewards just by making healthy choices throughout the day. You can track your steps, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose each day. Every time you track one of those items you earn Balance Rewards. You can also track your sleep, and pulse oxygen but those do not earn you Balance Rewards.There are even some devices that you can connect straight to your account.

5 tips to jump-start your lifestyle change

1. Drink More Water!

I know this sounds so simple, but most of us are walking around dehydrated. You need to be drinking half of what you weigh in ounces. Example – If you weigh 200 lbs. you need to be drinking 100 oz. of water daily.

2. Keep A Food Journal

Write down everything you consume in a journal. Even the stuff you are ashamed of. This will really help you see how much junk and crap you are eating.

3. Track Your Steps

If you don’t do a lot of working out at least get a pedometer and try to walk 10,000 steps a day. Doing this will help keep you accountable so you don’t just sit around all day.

4. Download Walgreens App

The Walgreens app will help you reach your health goals while earning Balance Reward Points. For me this is a win/win! I love having my weight and steps all in one app.

5. Set Health Goals

I am a firm believer that if you set small health goals with rewards it will help you stay motivated. When you make your first goal using Walgreens healthy choices program you receive 250 points!! To see all of my goals and rewards check out my posts. I have to say I am really excited about reaching some of those goals!

Are you ready to get started and achieve your health goals? Whether that be to lose weight or just help with weight management.


All these items were found at my Walgreens. I even earned balance rewards just by purchasing them. Making Healthy Choices | #BalanceRewards #CollectiveBias #shop

    I've been a Balance Rewards member for a couple of years, and I honestly had no idea I could earn rewards just by making healthy decisions! How cool is that?!?
