3 points for Fruits & Vegetables

A Biometric Health screening was conducted today as part of my company-provided wellness benefit. I have always felt heavy... and corollary, I'd probably be the last person laying claim to be as fit as a fiddle. The results today stunned me:

I was particularly surprised with my Triglycerides score - I know mom won't believe that. For some reason, she always thinks I gobble fried food, fatty stuff, salty stuff, sweet stuff more than anything in the world. -_-''' Thank goodness there's medical technology to prove my (partial) innocent. Heh heh! :-)

The doctor said he thought that I was extraordinary happy and that my positive attitude and outlook was one reason why my Triglycerides level was so low. LOL. Really??? ^_^

Was also very surprised at my "good" cholesterol levels. It's >40% of my total cholesterol and has jumped since my last biometric screening at my old company! How come?! I don't know!

There was yet another test...

Lost 3 points to not eating enough fruits and vegetables...Yes, I plead guilty. So with my rejuvenated confidence in my "not all is lost"/"there is still time to treasure the wealth in my health" future - I went to buy a bag of ORANGES!!! LOL! To me that's a big deal because all my close friends and family know I will NEVER EVER EAT ORANGES ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS. Just because. LOL ;-)

Ok, time to keep the momentum going! 2am now and time for a run! (although they say lack of sleep causes pounds to add up...LOL)

USD$240 accrued in my pocket and a strong message that Preventive Health Pays!
