Health assessment

I just found out today that next Wednesday we are having a three month update on our health assessments for work. I'm all signed up and ready to go.

The last assessment was actually the first I've ever done. In terms of my health, I've always gone with the policy that ignorance is bliss. But now that I'm in my thirties, I'm realising I need to pay a little more attention than that. So I signed up for these optional health assessments. The guy who runs them - Nigel - seems like a pretty good guy. Certainly I remember last time he was way less annoying than my old personal trainer, Serious Scott. Quite an impressive feat actually, coming across as likable while you're telling a guy he really needs to lose weight.

Anyway, the low point for me during my session three months ago was when Nigel did a blood sugar test about half way through, and after noting that my sugar levels were quite high, asked if I'd eaten anything today. And I had to admit that I'd eaten a piece of Michella's mum's sultana cake minutes before the session. I think I might have stared at the ground as I was saying this. So I've learned my lesson - no cake this time until after the session is done.

Seriously I think I'll do a bit better this time. I'm pretty sure I've lost a bit of weight in the last three months, and I've been doing a lot more cardio the last few weeks. Anyway, check back next Wednesday night for an update on the current state of my health.
