Cholesterol

Because this is the one place I can put things and find them later.

Along with losing 20 pounds, so far, I have lowered my cholesterol. I'd like to trend it over time, so...

1/13/14
Triglycerides          168
Cholesterol, total    225
HDL                      48
LDL                      143
Chol/HDL ratio      4.7

7/30/14

Triglycerides          154
Cholesterol, total    216
HDL                      48
LDL                      137
Chol/HDL ratio      4.5

According to one website I was looking at, this small success has lowered my heart risk by 18%. I've only been exercising 2 of those 6 months. I high hopes for my next check-up.
