Healthiness...

...I has it!

We just had a "health and wellness fair" at work and they had a dude measuring body fat. I've been doing pretty good with my weight loss and exercise (well, that last part's only kinda true - hadn't exercised all year up until this last week, but have exercised 3 out of the last 5 days). Got measured and I came in at 13.1%!! Not bad, considering I was thinking I'd come in around 18~20%.

Though, for the first time in my life, I have high blood pressure :( 141/84. Not sure what to do about it, though. I don't use a whole lot of salt, drink a lot of water, have a few glasses of red wine now and then... More exercise, perhaps?

Speaking of which, I tried bikram yoga for the first time last night. It goes without saying, but GAWDDAMN it's hot in there. Nearly passed out during the first 30 minutes because all we were doing was standing poses. Once we hit the mats, I was fine, though. I bought a 2 week pass, so I'm going to try to go as many times as possible in the next couple of weeks and see if I feel any difference. After the session last night, I was tired, but I felt surprisingly refreshed. I wasn't nauseous or drained - just pleasantly relaxed and felt like I could just slip into a nice, deep sleep.
