$150 Health Incentive @ Work.... SWEET!

[MattTuck]

I just completed a 15 minute online health assessment and earlier today had a 15 minute "biometric health screening" that consisted of, weight, height, finger prick to test cholesterol and glucose and a waist circumference measurement.

I get $150 health incentive for doing all that, sweet! What should I spend it on?

Whiskey and cigarettes.

Yes! :banana:


Really, I'm just impressed I get an incentive for some preventative stuff. That seems pretty cool to me.

You should post your screening results here for critique.

I happen to have similar numbers on hand (test is from Nov of last year)

BP 120 / 84

Glucose 92

HDL Choles 43
Total Choles 175
LDL Choles 101
Triglicerides 155

measured after fasting

Weight: about 15 lbs more than where I want to be

Editorial comments: Not horrible, and the doc was not at all concerned, but IMO they could be significantly better. I think these are considered decent only because so many others in the US are so bad off.

Bike stuff, needless to say -- to keep you healthy of course. :hello:

A great new set of handlebars and bar tape????? I love a great set of handlebars and bar tape. . . .some of the most important things for me.

McDonalds for a week!!! :)

Beer is the obvious choice.

Other than calories, it's perfectly harmless. (Assuming you don't drink and drive and don't have a drinking problem.)
