• Total Cholesterol was 274,
  
• Triglycerides were like 282 (or maybe it's 252),
  
• HDL was 38 and
  
• LDL was 180. 
  

I went back about a week ago to get it tested again after spending the last 6 months trying to regulate my diet better and start exercising.  The new numbers? 

• Total is now 254. 
  
• Triglycerides are 140,
  
• HDL is 46, but my
  
• LDL is still the same at 180.  Why??  Now I'm afraid I might have to start taking medication to lower my cholesterol...I guess we'll see.

Tomorrow I start running again after having to stop for the last month or so due to an injury to my Achille's Tendon.  Tendonitis, what a pain.  I hope to take it easy.  I'm a little anxious about getting back into it.  I hope I don't hurt myself again.
