Keeping Becky Busy

Check this out Becky. Did you know you can get your body composition checked at Cal State Long Beach for not much money? The Kinesiology department has a Bod Pod and DEXA machine. You can determine your percent body fat and bone density. These measurements can be used to assess your health. I think it's pretty cool. I think it costs like $15 to do the Bod Pod, not sure about the the other. I think the Bod Pod cost the school like $35,000, and the DEXA $70,000.

What else did I learn lately....well, mypyramid.gov has a new section for pregnant women. They update it regularly, but that's new. Thought you might be interested in some cool websites. I don't know if you knew that in California public schools kids learn about healthy eating choices through a couple different programs. There is Champions for Change..Harvest of the Month...Five a Day.. Anyway, I thought you might want to check out some of these websites. They recommend books to encourage trying new foods, recipes/snack ideas, how to get kids involved in exercise...I think it's cool.

What else...I graduate in two months, I'm having a party. You should come!

I'll find out about my match for an internship on April 21st.

Eleanor is above the K level for reading so she's doing a new thing...Accelerated Reader.

I'm getting A's and B's even though I have senioritis.

I just got invited to join Eta Sigma Delta because I'm in the top 20% of my class and meet the academic requirements.

I desperately want to move out but I'm poor.

I work 3 positions at CHOC now. I get to screen patients and write notes.

I'm running out of things to say. I should go to sleep. Hope that keeps you busy for a few days!
