My Results are In!!!
I have never been the one to really question what i ate. my mentality for a while was "i can eat what i want" and i ate whatever i wanted so much that my cholesterol was a Whopping 240 in my early 20’s..bagels cookies esp cookies..didnt want to say no..i did stay active somewhat so my weight did not increase a lot but i did start to develop the chubbs and handles -you’ve seen the progress pics:-p So my doctor always warned me about family history and so forth but me being young and thinking there is always tomorrow i didnt try to rectify this…fast forward to the present day..since my desire to start competing next year..I have benefited so much from this change and since its only been about 6months since the switch and i havent been eating clean 100% I still felt better than ever…so when i had a doctors apt..it dawned on me that i havent had my cholest. and glucose checked so i did the whole fasting thing and had blood drawn..
The Results are in;
cholest. total= 166 (remember i was always in the 240’s)
triglycerides= 36 (the lower the better)
HDL=68 (happy cholesterol the higher the better)
LDL= 91 (loser cholesterol under 130 is ideal)
and to add my blood sugar was at 81 
I am so glad to receive this news..i refuse to believe I am doomed to be obese suffering from CAD, HTN, and diabetes simply b/c genetics say so…I couldnt be happier..I hope this serves as an inspiration more than my progress pictures. So keep eating that oatmeal…keep sucking down that tuna and chicken…and the flax yams etc etc.. you will reap the benefits:)

I have familiy histiories of cancer (we’ve had alot of them), diabeties, high cholesterol, you name it. There are the things you can’t control, but there are certainly the things you can with a good diet and excercise, and your numbers show that. Congratulatons of taking control of your health, NOW. You look great and imagine the impact that you will have on your own family.
