Today my company hosted free heart screenings. They tested my cholesterol, glucose and blood pressure. I fasted, and made sure that I didn't have any food within 10 hours of having my finger pricked.
Previously my cholesterol and blood pressure have been high. At my last physical, my doctor told me to watch my cholesterol. I am proud to say that my cholesterol is 187. My glucose was 82, and my blood pressure was an amazing 112/72.
This fitness and eating better thing is really showing itself. I'm so proud of these numbers.
