My eyes are like Lipid Pools...

So the numbers are back from my annual physical exam on my blood work - some good, some not so great...

Total Cholesterol = 234 (normal is under 200)
Triglycerides = 61 (normal is under 150 - so that is good)
HDL (good) = 79 (normal is 40-60, but higher is better so good)
LDL (bad) = 143 (normal is under 100, so not good)
VLDL (badder) = 12 (normal is 5-40, so good)

Kidney, Electrolytes, Blood Sugar, Thyroid, Red & White Blood Cells, Platelets = all normal!

All in all - pretty good...higher than 2013 numbers by just a smidgen (220 total cholesterol), but still not bad.
