Countdown To Fifty

Over the last 3 years I have been waging the cholesterol wars. Starting in 2001 I learned that due to crap eating habits and family genetics I had borderline high cholesterol. After a peaking at 232 in November of 2005 (HDL 47/LDL 129) and an unsuccessful and uncomfortable trail with Lipitor that gave me wicked legs pain, I set about the new course of eating right and exercise.

While up a skosh since last test the overall number is now 179, but better still are the other digits – HDL 58 and LDL 105 – both heading in the proper directions.
