Steps Challenge to begin at local restaurant
Savory Salads, a restaurant with locations in Arlington Heights and Barrington, is calling all of new, existing and future customers to join in eating healthier, getting more active, and competing for a $100 gift card each week to the restaurant.
A new year typically represents personal resolutions, many pertaining to weight loss and getting fit. If you own a Fitbit and have the desire to be healthier in 2017, then this steps challenge is for you. The challenge is being coined #FitFoodies.
The #FitFoodies challenge will be engaging customers to increase their Fitbit steps to win a $100 gift card to Savory Salads.
To accomplish this, the #FitFoodies challenge will use the Fitbit platform to compete with all participants. Fitbit's app hosts the Workweek Hustle Challenge. These challenges allow Fitbit users in a designated group to compete against one another for five days.
Each Workweek Hustle Challenge can consist of multiple mini-challenges, in addition to just competing for the most steps. At the end of each Workweek Hustle, each participant's steps will be totaled. One winner will receive a $100 gift card to Savory Salads.
The owner, Stephanie J. Dzugan, will also be participating in each challenge. This means the participants in the group will not only be competing against each other, but they will be trying to beat the amount of steps Dzugan earns in a day. Her goal is to hit 10,000 steps daily, but she also plans to "step up" her game to really challenge the participants.
"We take great pride in the freshness of our food because we are a family-owned shop who truly cares about the health and wellness of our customers," said Dzugan.
Dzugan and the Savory Salads staff are excited about the number of lives they can help transform by eating well and getting active this year. They are also currently reviewing nutritionists and physical trainers and therapists to participate and offer feedback through their social media with #FitFoodies. Savory Salads will be hosting the #FitFoodies challenge starting Monday, Jan. 9, as part of its New Year New You campaign. Participants can sign up on the website, www.savory-salads.com/, or by sending an email to stephaniej@savory-salads.com, or in the stores, 2932 W. Euclid Ave. in Arlington Heights, and 215 N. Hough St. in Barrington.
Savory Salads offers gourmet salads, sandwiches, soups and flatbreads.
