Cholesterol Levels
by ShadwMan on Sep.02, 2009, under Cholesterol
When I got the follow up call from my doctor he told me that all my lab work came up fine except for my cholesterol levels.
The desirable levels for total cholesterol is less than 200 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter). To be at high rist you have to be anything over 240 mg/dL. I was told that my levels were over 1500 mg/dL. That’s at least 7.5 times the top end of the desirable levels for cholesterol.
The desirable levels for Triglyceride levels is less than 150 mg/dL. The very high levels is anything over 500 mg/dL. Mine was only in the high level sitting at 330 mg/dL.
My battle against cholesterol has now begun…
This is my first attempt at a blog

I guess I should also mention that this is my first real attempt to really keep up with anything like this so we’ll just have to see if I can actually keep this going.
Almost blew a gasket just trying to get WordPress working correctly with all the stuff I just added.

Last week I decided, after a follow up call from my doctor, to change a few of my habits concerning my health and my diet. Since I know myself and my habits I tend to start off doing well but trail off until I revert to my old habits.
I was once told that one of the ways to keep yourself honest was to keep a journal and make sure that you keep it updated so that you always have a record of how you are doing. I like that idea, but I would also like to keep myself honest so I’m finally creating a blog so that the World can help keep me honest so…. here I am world.
Be gentle… (unless I’m being bad)
