Bloodwork Update

So things have been really busy lately.  I have been following the diet but I would say that it is more of a Phase 2 approach...or my own version  of that...I've been eating yogurt every so often...just because I think it helps my stomach and because I really like Greek Yogurt.  I was down a bit a few days ago but I haven't weighed in again to see how I'm doing.

I had my bloodwork done last week.  I went to the doctor because I had a weird episode where I felt like my blood sugar dropped, then it felt like I wasn't getting enough blood/oxygen to my brain and then my heart started racing...3 days in row.

I found out about my blood work last night.  Normally I get the new ahead of time but this time the blood work wasn't delivered to me!  The last time I had it done was May...my cholesterol had gone up a bit from the April blood work (212) that had me so excited.

Here were the results in April:
Total Cholesterol:  from 272 to 180  (That's almost 100 points in 3 months!)
LDL: 105  (a little high but much lower than before)
HDL:  54  (above average--but it has always been around 50-60)
LDL/HDL ratio:  1.9  (it's never been that good)
Triglycerides:  From 262 to 105  (yea, I know, right?!)
Sugar: 100 to 92

And here are the results from yesterday:
(really  not bad considering I haven't been 100% on the diet since August...)
Total Cholesterol: 192
LDL: 120  
HDL:  62  
LDL/HDL ratio:  1.8 
Triglycerides:  80
Sugar: 90

It's like I'm a normal and healthy person!
