High Cholesterol
August 28, 2008 on 9:53 pm | In Family Health |That’s right, I got word from my doctor today. My blood test came back showing that I have a cholesterol level that is “way too high”. I’m a bit shocked. My levels have always been normal.
It’s been a few years since my last blood test, but I don’t think my eating habits have changed. Really, the only thing that has changed is that I’m no longer working outside the home. Maybe I’m too sedentary. I have started to work out more, especially since we got our Wii Fit. The Wii and my doctor both said my body mass index is just right. I’m not over weight, although, I probably do sit on this computer way too much.
Anyway, the doctor suggested some changes in diet, most of which I all ready do, so we’ll see what happens. I may have to take another blood test in a month.

Good luck with that. I was shocked to learn that my number was over 400 and began taking Lipitor immediately. Of course, I enjoy bacon WAY too much, so it’s still up there…

Mine came in at 244. I’m trying to monitor my diet over the next few weeks and get some exercise. Hopefully that will be enough to take care of it, but we’ll see. I’ll have another test done then.
