healthy girl

well, thank goodness for a good day. still slow, but actually had work to get done. 

my company has been actively trying to promote everyone to live a healthier lifestyle. it's an office setting, and while the desks are all adjustable (to give everyone the option to stand) the mass majority still sit. all day... well, to go along with spreading health awareness they offered a health screening today, to all employees interested. it was a general screening. they recorded height, weight, bmi, blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose levels. now, i know i'm a healthy girl, but it's never wrong to have an in-between-doctor check up. and what do you know? i am healthy ha! :) low blood pressure. high HDL (although it could be slightly higher. will definitely work to raise that). low LDL. healthy glucose levels. my pet peeve is the fact that they used the standard chart to calculate my bmi. i have an athletic build for a girl. always have. i may be little, but i'm pretty much all muscle. on paper it just makes all my hard work look insignificant. i really thought they'd do the pinch test, but anyways... i'm healthy. reaffirmed. guess that's what counts.

i had to fast for the test, so i chose the earliest appointment i could get. i was still much later than i usually eat breakfast. breakfast is such an important meal for me. i simply don't function without fuel first thing when i wake up. needless to say, i was famished and pretty much wolfed down my overnight oats.

ended the day with 60 minutes of intense, leg-pumping, heart pounding spin!
