Health report for G; Not too shabby!
Went to the doctorb today. I had a blood test taken Sunday morning and they called me Monday to come in to "discuss my cholesterol"... usually an "EEP!" situation. I have been having trouble with my triglycerides recently, them being way too high. I remember the last check a few months ago, my triglycerides were triple what they should have been, my good cholesterol was really low and my bad cholesterol was in the normal range. Steph and I changed our food lifestyles accordingly. Stopped eating red meat, no rice, no starches, limited the sugars, but substituted in things like chicken, way more veggies, fruit, oatmeal for breakfast, and quinoa in place of rice or potatoes.
The results?
My triglycerides are NORMAL, my good cholesterol is in the Normal band as well, but my bad cholesterols are up. So, two out of three. I have to adjust something still to take care of the bad stuff, but it wasn't too bad, just a bit above normal. My Vit D levels were way low, though. Good thing I'm going to Arizona to get some sun for a week.
