Checking my "Health" at work, and being rewarded for it!

I just finished the first part of my "Health For Life" health check, where my height, weight, and blood pressure were measured, and then my blood was drawn for testing.  I'm 6'3", and weighed in at 264 pounds (with clothes, and less than I measured on Saturday).  My blood pressure was 128/70, and my body fat was measured at 32%.  Blood pressure is a little high, but I'm happy to see that I'm officially in the "Healthy" category for body fat.  One percent more and I would be "Overfat," which I probably was before.

I was presented with an AmEx gift card for $25, and will get another after I meet with the local health coach.  I won't get to do that for a few days, though.  After my blood test results are done, I'll answer some survey questions, then I get to meet the health coach.  This is kinda fun!

Visiting Oh-Hi-There!

We're visiting Allison's family and friends for a week and a half, and Allie & I have gone for walks each day we've been here.  Miamisburg is a quaint little place to hoof around in, and it has been fun taking in the sights on foot, being able to stop and gaze whenever we want.  Eating-wise, we have pretty much stayed on track, but there have been a few excursions for social occasions.

This morning we made a shorter walk to the grocery store, but came back with a couple arm loads of groceries, which I used to give myself a slight bit of an upper body workout.   We picked up an apple-cinnamon coffee cake to take to visit Allie's grandparents, and once it got broken out, neither one of us had any to eat.  It was very tempting, but we got past it.  We have a number of appointments with naughty foods to keep still, so it was just as well that we could side step this particular temptation.
