Yesterday we had health assessments at work. My employer is launching a wellness program and is incentivizing all staff to get their now annual health assessment before 7/15 by issuing $100 Amazon Gift Cards to all staff who meet the 7/15 due date. They are having people from our insurance company onsite to do the assessments, and have made several dates available to staff to get their assessment at each of our locations.
The folks who do not get their health assessment by 9/30 will not be eligible for health coverage for 2012.
I guess they are taking this seriously, huh?
So, anyway, I had mine yesterday and was a little nervous. They check total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, Glucose (non fasting), blood pressure, waist circumfrence, height, weight and BMI. The verdict- pretty darn good! My cholesterol was 152, the HDLs were a little low at 40, the height (they shrunk me by an inch), the weight (2lbs down from my last recorded- which puts me 71 down according to their calculations!!), BP normal, glucose normal. Waist measurement- 34"! This is 6" down from when I measured a few months back. I am very excited.
That's it. We are going to a concert tonight, which should be fun, and my Morgan is having a sleepover at my Mom's house.
Have a great weekend!!
