Okay. Y'All know I'm fat and w-a-y out of shape. Well "HUH" on that! HA! I got my blood test results back today for the first tests since myback surgery. I'm recording them in here - no need to click on the link unless you have a weird curiousity, but I can summerize... I'm a healthy bitch. Yes, I am. And I'll put my cholesterol numbers up against anyone's.

So there.



Triglyceride: 115 (anything below 150 is good)
Cholesterol: 167 (anything below 200 is good)
HDL (good Chol.): 34 (35-65 is the suggested range)
LDL (bad chol.): 110 (gotta get it down... below 100 is best but doc still wrote "good")
Glucose: 104 (65-99 is normal. I think I didn't actually fast for as long as I was supposed to...)
EDIT: After doing some reading, I learn that my High Blood Pressure medication will raise a person's blood sugar level. So I'm not so concerned. Continued exercise and changing eating habits to be a 'grazer' (6 meals a day) will take care of that.
CBC Hemo: 13 (11.7 - 16 is normal)
CBC Herm: 38.9 (above 35 is "go give blood and be helpful")
Electrolytes (Potassium, sodium): normal (this is good since I take both iron pills and high blood pressure meds)
Liver & kidney functions: normal
"girly tests": normal

Hey! They forgot to do the 'are you in menopause?" test. Phoo.
