My Number Is...

I just got off the phone with my GP's office regarding the results of my blood work that I had to have done for school. Everything is normal - including my cholesterol levels. Now keep in mind that this is the first time in my adult life that I have had my cholesterol levels checked, and I was expecting them to be outrageously - even insanely - high.

My cholesterol is 171. Yea, me!

According to The Mayo Clinic's website, any total reading under of 200 mg/dL is "desirable"; 200 ml/dL to 239 ml/dL is considered "borderline high"; and any total reading over 240 ml/dL is considered "high". I did not ask for the entire breakdown of LDL versus HDL versus Triglycerides, but I'm going to go by and pick-up a copy of my blood work this week.
