In my entire life, I have never had my Cholesterol, Thyroid, and my Red/White Blood Cell count checked. So I did and I now know that I am normal. Normal is good! Even tho I really think my Cholesterol could have been better; I mean I think its rather high – 195 -. Considering I never eat much meat, never eat pasta and only eat maybe one slice a bread a week. My HDL (the good Cholesterol) was 57. And they say that is very good. The higher the better on this one. My LDL (the bad Cholesterol) was 132. Which is high; the lower the better on this one. I try to figure out what I am eating wrong and my fitness lady says that I am eating good, but not enough of certain things. Mostly Oils. I never ever eat Oil, never cook w/it, never do anything with it. She said I need more of the Good Oils. Like Olive Oil, Flax seeds, Fish and nuts. Well I never eat any of those things either! So I looked up Flax seeds, and there is 250 calories in a 1/4 cup! Uh, I dont think so. Will have to pass on that one.
We have decided to eat Fish one day a week now. I do like fish. And Peanut Butter is good too. But in moderation. I could eat the whole jar of that stuff!
And I learned to, that even tho I am cold all the fetchin’ time (anytime is below 85 degrees) I am not enemic. My Red Blood Cell count is 4.21 and my White Blood Cell is 5.4. Both right in the middle of the charts. So I still have to figure out why I am cold all the time.
So. I have been trying to get better w/my diet. So much I gained 3 lbs from last week
What ta do, What ta do. I really have to get a balance in my life. This is SO hard ! !
