8:01 and 142

8:01 was the time I got to the FedEx depot last night to pick up a package. They closed at 8:00 and still had customers in the lobby, but wouldn't let me in. Thanks for the customer service, assholes, I *really* wanted to make that drive again today.


142 is my current cholesterol count. Those of you with nothing better to do may recall that in October of 2004, my cholesterol was 242. I still drink. I still eat ice cream. I still eat red meat. I just do so a bit less, and I exercise more.

The FedEx people SUCK, and yay! for cholesterol improvements!

FedEx is of the devil, it's true.

My cholesterol is 202. :-(

Mine was... yeah, as noted, surprisingly hideous, and I wasn't particularly out of shape at the time (not in great shape, mind you, but only 10-15lbs above what the BMI claims is healthy, and ~5% above health in terms body fat)

I'm surprised that your triathlon-ism doesn't put yours in the basement, unless you're eating like a college guy - pizza and beer for every meal :-)

No, I've got bad genes. Back when I was a vegetarian & swimming 4-5 times a week & REALLY trying to be healthy, it got as high as 245.

My aunt was at ~700 before she went on meds.

That's some amazing improvement! Congrats!

That's awesome!! How much less drinking and red meat/ice cream eating is going on?

Booze is only on weekends; red meat is probably half what I used to consume, and ice cream is in the "one or two pints a month" neighborhood.
