Today we had a health fair at work. This fair included testing and prizes. Along with free pens and snacks I won this! 
Here are my results:
Here are my results:Glucose: 86-good
Body Mass Index: 21.8-good
Grip Strength R: 30 L: 28-good (60% percentile!)
Blood Pressure: 110/78-good
Cholesterol: 252-what?
RN: Are you pregnant?
TE: No
RN: A person with your stats should be under 200. Do you have history of high cholesterol?
TE: I don't think so?
RN: Has anyone in your family had a heart attack?
TE: My dad.
RN: You need to call your doctor and get a lipid profile. This is high enough that you might need a prescription. If it's genetic even eating more healthy won't help very much.
Great. Thanks Dad. I don't eat meat hardly ever, but I also don't jump at the chance of eating raw veggies. I guess I'd better stop smoking and limit my alcohol intake, oh yea, and start excercising again. Argh.

That bites about the cholesterol, so unfair.
Bogus! Happy be-lated birthday, hope it was a good one!
wow, I guess that means I could have high cholesterol too. Good thing I don't go to the doctor, so I'll never know. He he he
Are you sure you're not pregnant?
I'm just sayin'. . .
