My recent doctor's visit
So, the lab results from my check up came back. Since I was 30, I wanted something of a baseline to measure against. Sadly, it wasn't a clean slate. Looks like my HDL (good) cholesterol is low, so I need to exercise more (ok, knew that), and my triglicerides, which should be <145 or so were 273. Triglicerides from mostly from sugars, including carbohydrates. So, I need to reduce my sugar intake. That said, I've seen online posts where guys had 1100 for their triglyceride count, so I'm not dead yet. :)
So, I need to start doing my nightly walks again, and if I don't have with me I should jog instead. And start lifting weights (as I'm about 40 pounds above where I should be), and eating healthier. Which I've actually been doing - I just need to keep moving towards a healthy diet.
