Cholesterol down 90 POINTS!

Got the lab report on my latest cholesterol numbers test and it was much better! Doctor was very pleased! I do still have to stay on Lipitor but am much encouraged.

My beginning total cholesterol numbers were 302 and as of now they are 212...down 90 points! The beginning triglyceride numbers were 490 and now they are 255. And last time they couldn't even do a VLDL cholesterol cal count because my triglyceride levels were too high, but now they are 51 (40 is normal). And the doctor was very happy that my HDL was 63, so I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel!

I don't have to go in for another checkup until the last of October, so I am going to continue staying on my food plan and TRY to incorporate more exercise into my life...

And the nurse at the office is going to let me stop by once a month to hop on the doctor's scale so I can keep an accurate record of my weight loss...my scale at home does not match hers! LOL! ( I like mine better, LOL!)

Anyway, at least now I don't feel like such a walking time bomb!
