let's get PHYSICAL!

[nolly]

Back from the second part of the physical. Overall cholesterol is OK,but good cholesterol is low, so the ratio is bad. They are of the opinion that I need to lose ~50 pounds. I am of the philosophy that I will keep biking and doing yoga and eating reasonably well, and let my body be the weight it wants to be. They also suspect wacked out hormonal stuff -- the woman doing the exam asked if I was losing hair (I do shed a lot) and said my hairline/hair pattern appeared more typical of a male. So more blood drawn to test for weird endocrine stuff, plus I'll have an appointment later with my PCP to track the chronic borderline anemia I'm prone to. I take a multivitamin with plenty of iron, and eat things with iron, but still barely make the cut off for giving blood, and don't always. But overall, nothing really major or unexpected.
