Subject: RE: Team Skinny - Back to School (Sept 08)Good evening skinnies! I have some fantastic news!!
I recently had some blood tests...glucose, cholesterol, the whole she-bang. I had been putting it off for several months because the last time I had my cholesterol checked (3 1/2 years ago ), I was very close to heart attack stage. See?
2004 results
Triglycerides: 146
HDL: 44
LDL: 164
Total: 238
This time was different
2008 results
Triglycerides: 156
HDL: 46
LDL: 114
Total: 191
I no longer have high cholesterol and my glucose is normal, too. I never believed docs when they said that exercise could lower cholesterol and now I'm a poster child for it. I made a resolution in January that this was going to be my fittest year ever. I do believe that these test results have sealed the deal for me  This is almost better than losing the 35 pounds I have in the last year!
