I had a great health day today. The beginning of March I had blood work done and today had a biometric screening done.
Results:
Weight down 10 lbs
Cholesterol down 11 points
LDL (bad cholesterol) down 13 points
Glucose down 9 points
The guy who was doing the screening was talking to me while we were waiting on my results and he asked why I did strength training. I said to build bone density, build muscle mass, burn calories etc. He said I should really do lots of cardio and if I HAD to lift that it should be light to med weights with high reps because I didn't want to get all big and bulky. He asked if I had lost weight and I said 10 lbs. Then we looked at my results and his tone seemed to change and he hemmed and hawed and said "okay, keep lifting since it's working for you". Thanks for the advice. I'm glad he's not my trainer.

Great results! Sometimes the scale takes on so much focus that health is just a secondary thought. So nice to see people first getting healthy, with weight loss being the secondary goal or side effect.0
