But WTF it's on FOX?



Today's Tumblr is Tuesday, February 25: Dance. I worked hard to find an assortment of representation (not all white, hetero, trim/lean), so let me know what you think.

I need to start moving more on non-gym days. I hope when the weather warms up I can convince myself to get out of bed early enough to resume morning yoga. Most of the time I wake up early enough to get an hour of yoga in before I have to start getting ready for work, but it's so cold that I'm uncomfortable in my poses. Not good for promoting focus and flexibility. I'm considering doing a program of 300 kettlebell swings per day that I saw on Breaking Muscle. Nothing fancy, and you do them during the day as you can. But 300 swings per day. Trying to figure out how to navigate that around an eight-hour work day where I don't have a kettlebell at the office.

And now it's time for my hourly walk around the building. I didn't get a single walk in yesterday. Mondays are always a little nuts, and I had a long meeting on the other side of campus. I barely completed my task list for yesterday as it was. So I'm not missing any walks today.

Edit: Back from my walk and I forgot to mention that I got an email from KU today that said: Congratulations on completing your Health Assessment Questionnaire on the HealthQuest wellness portal! Did you know you are just a phone call away from a Health Advisor? The Health Advisor will help you understand your personal health risks and can leave you with a better understanding of how to use HealthQuest resources to make lifestyle changes.

The average conversation with a Health Advisor lasts only 10 minutes and you’ll earn 5 credits automatically after completing the call! To speak with a Health Advisor, call 1-888-275-1205, option 6. Health Advisors are available Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

By completing the required Health Assessment Questionnaire and earning 20 additional credits (for a total of 30 credits) by July 31, 2014, you will qualify to receive the premium incentive discount for the 2015 plan year.

I'm really, really tempted to do this. Just to see what they could possibly suggest I do to improve my health. Eat less saturated fat, probably. I need to go into it armed with a boatload of study references. Might be a fun thing to do on a slow afternoon.
