(Why do I use that 'well' to start posts so often, LOL 
?)
When we came home from the hospital from Marie's goofed up MRI, I had a fax waiting for me of the lab results from my mini visit to the doc yesterday. I went primarily to see if I was still doing okay in my labs while on my low carb life-style change, more protein, less carbs overall, and carbs actually eaten, hopefully 'good' ones.
I was down 46 pounds (actually been 'stuck' there for some weeks now) and my numbers are great.
My cholesterol is down to 189 from 215 or there abouts last July when I started. HDL is up to 61, from 45, LDL is down to 113, from 130 and triglycerides are down to 64, from 195. The desired numbers of those are under 200, above 40, under 130 and under 150. He said my blood pressure was good (there was pressure, LOL), 120/80, heart was good, pumping away. Just need to get out and walk a bit and get some exercise.
So, hopefully my new life style will afford me some more years ahead as I creep up here on 60. Happy with the reults so far.
