Holding steady on the weight and looking forward to a short vacation next week! I am so excited to get away and the chance to knock a ride on a steam locomotive, narrow gauge train ride through the mountains off my bucket list is so exciting! It should be beautiful and the weather should be close to perfect!
So, my blood test results came back. My blood sugar numbers were great - 5.0 and 91. My Triglycerides were halved and are lower than they have ever been (84). My HDL was higher than it has ever been (93, an increase of over 33%). Now to explain to my doctor why I don't need any meds (statins) to "correct" my cholesterol numbers. My LDL was around what it has been in the past and should go down the longer I eat keto; so I am just in a wait and see mode. It was funny to look at the advice the health website offered up to correct my naturally occurring LDL cholesterol numbers. My BMI and blood pressure were also the lowest they have been since 2014 (when they started tracking).
All in all, a great week behind me and an exciting one ahead of me. I just need to get through this week and then I am on vacation until after Labor Day. Woohoo! Have a great week everyone!
