Health Fair

Our church had a health fair today. I finally convinced Rhett to go down there with me. We were put through several evaluations on weight, blood pressure, pulse, and blood tests for cholesterol and triglicerines. I've never had anything done like this before so I thought it would be good for us to find out where we stand. Basically it was testing our likelihood of stroke or heart attack. I was frustrated when I saw that my cholesterol score was 176 (Not high...200 is high, but not low either.) and Rhett's was 121. We all know that Rhett doesn't eat healthy at all. Of course he went around bragging the whole time about his numbers and how fabulous his diet is. But my worst score was my pulse rate...72 for me...60 for Rhett. I still came out with "ideal" health when they tallied it all up together...Rhett can mention his if he wants to, but I better not! hehehe They tried to enroll me in a 1/2 marathon...NO WAY! My knees get to sore for that. (Thanks to the years of gymnastics.) I'm off to cook some healthy burritoes. The dietician recommended that I eat more fruits/vegetables, beans, nuts, and fiber. I'm going to do it. Rhett is suppose to also, but he's not going to do it.
