I just had mine checked for the first time in my life (it came free when I donated blood Monday). My total is at 159. WOO HOO! I think this means I can increase my red meat intake.

I dunno.....this just seemed worthy of a thread.

Mine was a good deal lower than that the last time it was checked, like a year ago. Bring on the eggs yo.

You're damn right. Steaks all 'round! I'll take a NY strip done medium rare.

Not sure....but I just had my blood pressure taken and it was LOW (as in 100/70)

I've never had mine tested. Does beer have cholestrol?

There are two kinds of cholesterol - one is good the other not so good at all, but I can't remember which is which.

Tell you next week. After the yearly company medical :eviltongu

Been training up on the road bike to blow the ergometer test to bits. neaky:

Medical ettiquite(?) wise is it cool to take along the files you've downloaded from your heart rate monitor to these things?

I wanna try and snek in with it on just to compare my results with theirs too. neaky:

first time i got checked it was at 295. no lie
doc has me all hopped up on this lipitor crap, its gotten the level back down to 195 :nuts: big draw back is I can hardly drink anymore. anytime i go over 4-5 beers i get mad hungover :angry:

without zocor, my cholesterol is, get this, in the 400s. and i ain't lying neitha! it's a genetic thing. from my dad's side, his was ridiculous and he had arterial sclerosis

the amazing thing is on drugs it's under 200, amazing thing those drugs are...

without ME you'd have to eat those nasty things?! how sweet! :love:



hehe, just kidding. welp, what i've heard from a few docs is that diet and exercise only contribute up to 15% of the influence of the numbers. one doc said 5%.

that's good for me because one time, when i was much younger, someone told me i had to give up chocolate....



HA! that'll be the day!
