My knitting mojo has left recently. Technically not just the knitting mojo but all mojo. I have my suspicions as to why that is but that is a story for another day. Besides at this point it's all just speculation anyway. Suffice to say, I do know, by virtue of a 18 hour ER visit awhile back and subsequent tests, I am as healthy as a horse. Yep, me, healthy as a horse. lol Me, the person who snacks on things like meat, beef, ham and bacon being my grazing fodder of choice. My heart and lungs are good, notwithstanding the more years than I care to admit I've been a smoking fiend. (I am trying to remedy that btw, down from 20ish cigs a day to less than 8 usually less than 5. Yea me.) And my cholesterol is perfect. Amazingly so. I had never had my cholesterol checked before, assuming all the while it was prob'ly on the high side. My eating habits for one reason, but the greater reason being most of my 6 brothers and sisters have high cholesterol.
My numbers are thus:
ttl cholesterol 144
Triglycerides 49
HDL 43
LDL 91
It's nice to know that I don't have to give up meat as I try to give up smoking. :o)
Good luck with the smoking. It's sooooo hard to quit I know. I actually smoked for years (well...years to me!) And finally quit for good about 5 years ago. Phew! I still have dreams sometimes that I started again and I get really sad and stressed out because I know that means I have to go through quitting again..ha! I'm so happy when I wake up and figure it all out!
