I'm living proof that exercise does a body good.
In 2003, while still considered Fat Rob, my cholesterol numbers were 160/112/38/100 (Total/Triglycerides/HDL/LDL). In 2004, I was at 170/124/45/100. A bit more healthy, but room for improvement. That was the last time I was tested, and well before I got into my serious training.
I got the latest test results just today: 158/38/54/96. Note that second number. Down from 124, my triglycerides are now way below acceptable threshold value of 100. The HDL & LDL are now within normal values (>40 & <100).
Aside from an extensive exercise regimen, my eating habits have improved. Everything is now whole grain & wheat based where applicable. I eat some more fruit through tasty smoothies, and my portions are way smaller and more often. I could stand to eat more vegetables, but they taste yucky so that may be harder to overcome.
So, here's a protein smoothie to good health!
