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!0 -

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)
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.0 -

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.0 -

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!0 -
