Well, according to my recent fast and following blood draw, my health is a in pretty good shape. Normal ranges for the individual markers are as follow:

Triglycerides- <150 mg/dl Normal range, low risk
my level- 76 mg/dl

LDL cholesterol- <100 mg/dl Optimal LDL cholesterol, corresponding to lower, but not zero, rates for symptomatic cardiovascular disease events.
my level- 94 mg/dl

Glucose- After a 12 hour fast, a range of 70.2 to 100 mg/dl is normal
my level- 89

Glycosylated hemoglobin (hemoglobin A1c) Normal levels 4-5.9% - In diabetes mellitus, higher amounts of glycosolated hemoglobin, indicating poorer control of blood glucose levels, have been associated with cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, and retinopathy. Monitoring the HbA1c in type-1 diabetic patients may improve treatment.
my level- 5.1%

BMI and blood pressure- BMI- 26, BP 110/72

All in all I can't complain. I wish I could find the labs that I had drawn before we did the velocity diet. Im thinking my LDL and cholesterol were lower back then. Oh well. Im sure with getting back into being active that will help of course. Anyway... later suckas!

day before tomorrow

Did a short workout last night. GOt the overheads and the barbell curls. It was around 11:30ish, so i opted to do a tad of it rather than just the main lift.

OH press
95 x3
100 x3
105 x7

BB curls
45 x5
55 x5
65 x5 for 3 sets

Im really trying to concentrate on form, depth, and control for everything. I feel like im taking a huge step back, but I know Im not. So its all ok..

Going in for night number two tonight. The charting system we use is super old and super redundant. But oh well.. the pay is acceptable, so I won't gripe.

Also, a grand round of applause for G on the new job, and also for cody for being super fertile!! Love you both!!!

Eons

Good afternoon friends- I have decided to make an appearance. I have been lost upon cardboard boxes and newspaper. I have finally gotten everything unpacked and have managed to clean everything up. I have caught up on my school schedule, and now I'm looking to update everyone on my livelyhood.

I start my new job monday with the Medical Center of Plano in the Neuro ICU. It plans to be promising. I have a six month contract, so if it doesn't pan out, I guess all will be well, considering there are a plethora of agencies I can work for up here.

I eagerly await the arrival of me weight rack, so I have a place to hang my plates! hehe It is going to be stupendous getting home 10 minutes after work instead of an hour and a half. I can go straight into a workout when I get home, and then off to bed. Then I wont have to arise 2 hours before Im to be at work. Ahh the city... good to be back into civilization. I do miss my pal though :(
