I hope your knee recovers soon!Alea Milhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549333388945700712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440510391968073874.post-61195721758509477702010-01-19T13:58:27.695-08:002010-01-19T13:58:27.695-08:00I want to do an internal age health screening!

The message I took away from this 'screening' is that with the exception of Olympic athletes, there are probably little bits and pieces that we can all improve on. <br />Personally I think I may have been under the illusion that just because I can trot a long way, I must be in ideal shape, and that's actually far from the truth. <br />But I took comfort on Saturday when out for a morning bike ride and I passed all the people in line at the Burger King drive-through!Pauline Wileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387098614220322595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440510391968073874.post-31064468101090243892010-01-18T09:49:19.928-08:002010-01-18T09:49:19.928-08:00Oh for goodness sake--if that picture is any indic...Oh for goodness sake--if that picture is any indication you look in GREAT shape! <br /><br />Sounds like the cholesterol thing may be genetic, but the good thing about trying to raise "good" levels is that eating more healthy fats like olive oil can help. My "good" cholesterol was much lower when I was on a low-fat diet; now that I eat a lot of yummy healthy fats it's gone up to levels that totally impress my doctor.Crabby McSlackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12108791388350253344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440510391968073874.post-25090768649659798032010-01-18T04:11:53.246-08:002010-01-18T04:11:53.246-08:00It is so very sad that someone like you ( who obvi...It is so very sad that someone like you ( who obviously does work very hard to be in the shape that you are in) is told you need to do more. It's true! Why should I even bother trying again - when I know I will never even be close to where you are at - and then to still be told I have more to go??<br /><br />I am one of those (very) overweight and out of shape - who did get on the scale at work and is trying so hard - but I have tried so hard my whole life and have always failed. What is worse - I lose 20 and gain 30, I lose the 30 and gain 40 - it is a viscous cycle that none of us like - but due to health problems (that would probably be non existent if I was healthy) I struggle like the dickens to lose this weight. <br /><br />You inspired me this morning. <br />Thank you!Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09509515010922017170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440510391968073874.post-72609434676237716062010-01-17T11:48:13.884-08:002010-01-17T11:48:13.884-08:00Wow, I would love to try something like this.

(At least you get a bonus in your next check, right?) The good news is that one of the best ways to raise your HDL you're already doing: exercise!Tracey @ I'm Not Superhumanhttp://www.notsuperhuman.comnoreply@blogger.com
