Wellness Fair

At work, they had a company wellness fair today. It was pretty extensive, and I was quite impressed. There were all kinds of booths. I got a chair massage, and I had my body fat analyzed. It was 24.5%. I knew the scale at home was probably off. This was probably a pretty accurate measure. The lady had a thing that you held in your hands at arms length. So, I was in the "normal" range, of body fat and with BMI. That was good, although it shows that I have a ways to go still. There were ranges for "athlete", "lean", "normal", "overweight", and "obese". So, I suppose that it's good that I was in the normal range.

They had all kinds of free samples, too - fruit, health bars, Sandwiches, Cookies, Soup, Tape Measures, Pens, and on and on. One lady was trying to say that these new "whole grain" poptarts were healthy. I blasted that away when I looked at the ingredients and the 3rd was corn syrup, and the 4th was high fructose corn syrup. It was funny. I hate it when people try to pass off crap as health food. I also registered for a bunch of raffles. And, I won a 2 week free pass to Curves. One of the ladies at work said that we could go together during lunch for the 2 weeks (she won the free pass, too).
