Cholesterol 2009

Had my checkup Monday! My cholesterol levels are even better than last year (well, really almost 2 years ago, May 2007 was my last checkup).

Total Cholesterol = 123 (down 14)
Triglycerides = 67 (Down 24)
HDL = 32 (down 2... but I have not been running)
LDL = 78 (Down 8)


A couple years ago I was running to raise my HDL, but I have only run 3 or 4 times in the last 3 months, so I was expecting to have considerably worse cholesterol than I did. I was on a strict Candida Cleanse until Thanksgiving, and the Candida Diet except for some sugar from Jelly, Pamela's bread and Cheerios since Thanksgiving. So I guess having very little sugar is more helpful to my cholesterol than running like crazy!
