Doctor Update

I just got back and the reason I had to go in was high cholesterol, like I kinda thought. My HDL level (triglycerides) is 368 and should be under 149. It is worse that I initially thought, but it is very treatable. A diet high in good fats like fish and lean meats, low fat dairy and such will help as well as daily exercise. All of those things I have been really wanting to implement into my routine anyway. Now I have a reason to have to do it. Sometimes I really need a kick in the behind to get moving! lol

I have to get more blood drawn in 3 months to see if my efforts have paid off, so I will update then!
