Talking Doc Says I Should Live To Be 100!!!
I've been a little bummed because I'm in a long stall -- needed a bit of a pick-me-up.

Well, I got back the results of blood work today when I went for my yearly physical. Check this out:

Cholesterol: 148 (normal: 100-200)
Triglycerides: 34 (normal: 50-150)
HDL: 64 (normal: 40-75)
LDL: 77 (normal: 0-130)
VLDL: 7 (normal: 10-31)
T Chol/HDL: 2.3 (normal: 3.2-5.0)

Doc was THRILLED with the results. Says my heart and lungs are REALLY strong and I should live to be 100 (not really one of my goals, but nice to hear all the same).

Jeannie

I want to live that long..but only if my sweetie is there with me. He is a smoker and eats horribly. He thinks that because he is super skinny that food doesn't matter. Not to mention his tobacco problem.

Awesome for you!!!!

I was just as excited when I got my resuts back.

What I am wondering is how is an LDL of 0 in the normal range?

I know its supposedly 'bad' cholesterol, but still... 0? lol

Look at those trigyclerides! Low low low!

That's supposed to be the most important.

Stalls are a bummer, all right, but even if you can't see them, good things are going on.

Hi

What's VLDL? I know LDL, but not with the v. Is it variable or something?

Thanks

Hey THANKS everybody for your support! I really DO feel good about this. Now I have to re-focus on breaking this damn stall.

Blue4lemon: I know what you mean about the tobacco. My DH eats well and exercises like a fiend but is addicted to smokeless tobacco. I really fear that he's going to end up with oral cancer, but of course he won't quit until he's ready. MAN, I hate that stuff.

Itty: I don't know what VLDL is either.
