For those who care about my health
As I mentioned, I had blood taken last week. Today I got the results. The significant ones are:
Cholesterol: 6.0
Liver GGT: 167
Triglycerides: 2.66
These numbers are high. They're not high enough to be a serious concern - no need to put me on medication or anything, but they are higher than they should be. The good news is that I don't have diabetes (yay!) and the above numbers are likely to go down on their own - so long as I start treating my system better than I have been.
So that means more exercise and eating better. I'm already getting more exercise - we've had this treadmill for some time, but I haven't used it before because I figured that whatever calories I burned off I'll just drink back on. I'm doing a 20min walking cycle every second day at the moment, but I plan to start ramping that up as I get more used to it.
So to summarise: Health decent, but could be better. Could easily have been a lot worse.
