    Long day... Didn't get out of work until after 8pm, ate dinner, and then finished my workout at 10:30pm. Gonna hop in the shower and then hope that I can get to sleep at a decent hour. Not likely though, I'm pumped right now!

    Doctor's office called with results of my bloodwork today.

    Cholesterol 143 (should be between 100-200) :happy:
    HDL 30 (should be above 39 per doctor) :embarassed:
    Triglicerides 103 (should be below 150) :happy:
    LDL 92 (should be below 130) :happy:
    Thyroid and blood sugar level is normal :happy:

    I was told that to increase my HDL I need to exercise more. I was a little frustrated at first because I've been good about exercise lately (key word lately).

    I'm probably making more out of this than I need to be. I'm doing all the right things right now. Exercising more, eating better, I don't smoke, and I'm working on getting to a healthy weight. Just a little freaked out that my doctor says I need to be above 39, and americanheart.org is saying that's for men. Women need to be 50-60. If above 60 is optimal I have to litteraly double what I'm at currently to reduce my risk for heart disease.




    From americanheart.org:
    With HDL (good) cholesterol, higher levels are better. Low HDL cholesterol (less than 40 mg/dL for men, less than 50 mg/dL for women) puts you at higher risk for heart disease. In the average man, HDL cholesterol levels range from 40 to 50 mg/dL. In the average woman, they range from 50 to 60 mg/dL. An HDL cholesterol of 60 mg/dL or higher gives some protection against heart disease.

    Smoking, being overweight and being sedentary can all result in lower HDL cholesterol. To raise your HDL level, avoid tobacco smoke, maintain a healthy weight and get at least 30–60 minutes of physical activity more days than not.

    People with high blood triglycerides usually also have lower HDL cholesterol and a higher risk of heart attack and stroke. Progesterone, anabolic steroids and male sex hormones (testosterone) also lower HDL cholesterol levels. Female sex hormones raise HDL cholesterol levels.

    Food challenges are hard when I'm traveling. I'd like to think under is better than over, but I've been pretty far under every day.

    I have my goals set for 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein. I've been playing w/ Microsoft excel to put together a calculator to show where my percentages are actually at:

    carbs fat protein
    52% 23% 25%
    47% 22% 31%
    45% 22% 33%
    61% 21% 19%

    So I looked up percentage recomendations. http://caloriecount.about.com/percent-calories-fat-protein-carbs-q184

    The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends this distribution for the energy nutrients:

    •Fat: 20 - 35% of total calories (average 30%)
    •Protein: 10 – 35% (average 15%)
    •Carbohydrates: 45 – 65% (average 55%)

    So.... Since I've been over 20% every day I'm not going to sweat it.

    I have no internet since Tuesday (thanks to POS Comcast) so I haven't been logging. I've been on track though, so that's good. I don't feel like going back in time to recall every morsel I ate so I'll just resume from here. Hope you all are having a great weekend!
