NSV - Biometric Screening

BOLO4Hagtha

My job has this Wellness program, and today we had a finger Biometric Screening (basically a very simple blood test for glucose, tryglicerides, HDL, LDL, etc). All of my results came in the LOW RISK range! Last time I had a blood work does was in December for my pre-employment screening, and I just bared "passed" my ranges by the skin of my teeth. Really happy that since then I have lost another 15lbs and my results dropped significantly!

The only bad thing was my HDL was slightly lower that it should be...gotta keep up with my fiber! I still can't get over how much 15lbs make. It doesn't sound like a lot, and at times the scale started to frustrate me because it would just not budge, but this just makes me want to work harder to have even better results next time I have blood work done!

That's amazing!! I mean dropping a dress size is good and all but knowing you're lowering your risk of heart disease is so much more significant, in my opinion anyway.

Random note, salmon/olive oil/almonds are a good way to increase your HDL

Exactly! I think I needed to see those numbers to actually believe that I have made some kind of progress. Thanks for the suggestion! I will try to eat more salmon and almonds (I already use olive oil in cooking and salads)
