Ed has been re-energized by some much needed rest.
I haven’t had a full physical since 2005, so I think I’m due. I think I haven’t had my Cholesterol checked since 06, so I’m due for that, too. When I first found out I had high cholesterol, I changed my eating habits drastically. But when that didn’t help 2 months later, I sort of fell off the wagon.
I still try to make healthy choices, though. I’ve replaced almost all of my beer with red wine. I eat fruit and whole grains every day. I almost never eat fried food or fast food. And I run 3 or 4 times a week.
But…
I still eat out. Dinners can still be a little heavy (especially when my girlfriend’s mother is in a serious cooking mood). I don’t take any cholesterol medication or supplements, and I haven’t had it tested in about 3 years. And I’ve put on about 10-20 pounds in that time.
One of the tasks associate with my clean sweep program is to get a physical. I’ll have to schedule that soon.

Still coming down, but my LDL is still somewhat high. My numbers are as follows:
Total 194 (Normal <200)
LDL 128 (Normal <100)
HDL 54 (Normal 50-60)
Triclycerides 60 (Normal <150)
Fasting blood glucose was 88.
I can keep trying to lose weight, but otherwise I think that LDL number might be caused by heredity. I will keep working on weight loss, though.

I thought about calling my doctor to see if I could get a bloodwork order prior to my appointment, but if I’m doing all the right things (eating better, exercising, etc) perhaps I can just trust that this is continuing to decrease? She seemed happy with the number last time. I think I’ll just wait until she orders another test.
So, I think I’ll drop this from my list since it’s not really something I can monitor too often.

Just got my blood test result and came to know that I have an abnormal level of cholesterol. I don’t have much idea about the implication of this statement. I used to think only fat people have high cholesterol then how come I got it. The report says 226 HDL 38 LDL 147. Is it very high or just on the borderline?

Starting out
6 months ago
I’ve done it before, will do it again. It goes hand in hand with my need to keep my thyroid under control, exercise, and lose some more weight. I just need to start giving it the attention it needs. I’m too young to be worrying about this stuff!
I haven’t been tested super recently but once I do I’ll post my numbers and start tracking them properly. :)
Cheers – Merry Christmas!

My overall was up to 228 but my bad was down to 139/140. Not good at all. I’m on a medication so it should be much lower next check but what I really want is to have a life where the medication is unnecessary.

got my results .
total cholesterol is now 176 (and it had been 251).
bad or LDL is now 116 ( down from 161)
They want that under 100.
Good or HDL is 31
The dr wants me to stay on the medication and get another test in 6 mos.
i am going to ask if I can stop the medication,( simvastatin) as it was really bothering my muscles.
