A Victorious Saturday

Woo-hoo! I'm thrilled. Hope, Emma and I went to a Health Expo today (it was not a chick thing but it was kind of a girls' day out, though we were accompanied by a very sweet and cute Lex and joined later by Justin). Anyway...I am proud to announce that all my screenings were in the normal range: blood pressure, heart rate, body mass index (that's a biggie!!!), bone density and blood oxygenation. In fact, my bone density was better than Hope's, though hers was good. They told me that even if I live to be 100, I shouldn't have any problem with osteoporosis!! My blood oxygen level was 100%, a couple percentage points better than both Hope's and Emma's. My BMI was the same as theirs!! That is a major accomplishment on my part. I've worked hard for about a year and a half on diet and exercise, something I haven't been successful at for years and years. And, notably, Hope's BMI was in the normal range, only 4.5 months after having a very large and healthy little baby! I'm quite proud of her! Of course, Emma is in great shape; she walks all over campus and danced 3 days a week last semester. I'm not trying to compete with them [I can't at my age] and I'm not trying to go back to my high school days but...I want to be a good steward of my health. So, I'm pretty happy!
