In 2011 I went for my first health check in about 15 years.
The results were okay, except my cholesterol was pretty high.
I wanted to do better on my 2012 health check, so for 3 weeks before the exam I cut out fast food/ramen/most meat/carbohydrates and gorged myself on vegetables/seaweed/fruit/tofu.
Mr. Pettit commented that I was trying to cheat the test.
I considered it cramming for the test … cramming vegetables/seaweed/fruit/tofu down my throat.
The results were a lot better than the previous year.
For the past 3 months I’ve continued to eat more healthily, been to the gym most days, and have avoided fast food and ramen.
I’ve lost about 5 kilograms, gained a bit of muscle, … and actually really like seaweed salads.
I hope this year in October when I go for the health check I can supersize the urine sample cup … and they give me a prize for best improved person.

note: for the last 2 years my boss’s wife is the person who draws blood from me … I find that ironic for some reason.
