Biometric Screening

Last week I had my biometric screening done at work to test my blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose etc. While my #s are not great, most of them are better than they were last year.

This year:
Blood Pressure- 140/90
Total cholesterol- 179
HDL - 56
CHOLESTEROL/HDL ratio- 3.2
LDL - 106
Triglycerides 86
Fasting Blood Glucose - 104


Last year:
Blood Pressure-  138/90
Total cholesterol-  189
HDL -  43
CHOLESTEROL/HDL ratio-  4.4
LDL - 113
Triglycerides- 169
Fasting Blood Glucose - 108



While I have some work to do, I'm making progress. I was asked what I was doing different to make my #s go down. While I haven't been consistent, I owe this to Shakeology! Working hard to get my numbers down even more and to get my blood pressure OUT of the mild hypertension category! (Not to mention shed a few (or more!)pounds). Over the next 3 months I will be working hard so I can be retested!
