I had my cholesterol checked the other day and it was 173. Not that it’s bad or anything… but I figured I’d be quite a bit lower than that. It’s not one of those really descriptive tests that tells you how much LDL vs HDL you have, so perhaps I have a lot of good cholesterol. Regardless, still a bit startling.
I’m supposed to go biking today at BWI. It’s nice out, so let’s hope everything goes through!
Your total cholesterol level looks good. Medline and NML indicate that a total cholesterol below 200 is desirable. Keeping the LDL, the bad cholesterol, down is really important. The HDL, VLDL and triglycerides levels are other indicators to be concious of.
What kind of biking did u do MTB or road?
Mountain biking, of course! Road biking is for ferries…
Did u get any raspberries from MTBing?
Raspberries?
Raspberry is short for an abrasion.
Formal language:
Acute abrasions are produced when the granular and keratinized skin cells are abruptly removed from the underlying dermis or “true skin.” Trauma denudes the epidermis, thereby exposing the more substantive lower papillary and reticular dermis, and punctate bleeding occurs from the severed arterioles of the dermal papillae. These pinpoint areas of bleeding within a larger patch of tissue exudate contribute to what is often clinically referred to as a “raspberry” or “strawberry.”
No I didn’t, not that I’d be like “hey my ass got abraised” in the weblog.
I hope I didn’t offend. I was tryin to gauge how aggressively u were MTBing.
My ass hurt… but I don’t think it I had any raspberries. Then again, I’ve always called raspberries a fruit or what you do when you blow on someones stomach and make a farting noise.
