Am feeling pretty pleased at the moment.
Reason is that I've managed to reduce my cholesterol level from an all time high of 6.2 (in Dec) to 5.3. The Cardiologist advised that it'll be best to keep it under 5 and since I've managed to bring it down, it must be my lifestyle and to keep doing whatever I'm doing to lower it further.
Btw, has anyone done a 'ECG stress test' before? As with the name, you are required to walk and run on a treadmill while they monitor your heart rate for 15 min and basically check for any 'irregularities'.
My legs are still wobbly from the test because they start at a much higher incline than I'm used to like 5/6 and as the speed picks up so do the incline!!! If you are one of those who do the Bukit Kiara steep hills, this may be a breeze for you. Unfortunately was dying by the end of Stage 4 so the kind Dr didn't push me to do Stage 5 - thank goodness, yeah doubt I would have survive that. Need to work harder on my fitness :)
Have a good weekend!
Let's see now I can eat more prawns, crabs, squid etc etc hahaha....just kidding.

Wow..good to hear that. You manage to bring down your cholesterol level. :)
My bad cholesterol level slightly high, but total still ok, 5.1. I love to eat, no healthy lifestyle, but i try very best to go to gym twice a week to work out.
I did my ECG stress test too, hmmm..i find it ok, but my result "not so good", Dr. advise me to get have a proper heart check, but i delay till now. :(:( My family background got heart problem. *double sigh*
Nevermind, when you reach my age... you automatically stopped going.....
Annie Q, the cardio said that the next step is to get a CT scan of your heart and from there decide if further actions are necessary like angioplasty.
me need to also increase my good choles and reduce the bad ones. Let's encourage each other to more oats, fibre, exercise & moderate indulgence :)
Emily, actually i wouldn't bother either if not covered by company. but since my family got history and want to nag sonny longer, need to something lor.
Being and staying 'healthy' is a lifetime maintenance (sometimes easier said than done).
So happy to hear that your cholestrol level has dipped! Keep it up, u can do it! :)
I meant going to the buka puasa bazaars! LOL
