  • Yesterday I did some crazy ridiculous testing for work and took the day off.

    They took my vitals and 8 vials of blood for testing.
    They obtained my RMR (resting metabolic rate) - 1587! Not too bad for this tubby behind.
    They gave me a stress treadmill test - which was much more difficult than anticipated and I only lasted 7 minutes. So much for being in really good shape.
    I also was DEXA scanned - for bone density as well as an actual imaging of muscle and fat quantities.
    There were hearing testing, visual tests and reflex tests.
    Finally, there was a ridiculously painful (still on into today!) testing of my strength (maximum of one rep weight) and flexibility (craptastic) and situps per minute (40! I am VERY excited by that number - that's rocking the shit out of my old grade school sit ups per minute)

     I don't yet have most of the results, but I'll be sure to post them when I do.
    And tell you what they recommend that I do to become healthier.

    Whoops!
    I forgot, I also got to pee in a cup.
    And to give you a link as to why on earth I was doing so much testing...

  • I started to look at the web site, but there were too many words.  Basically you're seeing if you have any random diseases, or may soon obtain one? 

    I started selling Avon again.  If you really need something, let me know.  We're on campaign 15 here if you want to browse on line.  I'm leaving Sunday for vacation though.  Will return Friday night.
