Awesome blood test results

Yay for being on the bike (and for losing 20+ pounds). After the worst blood test I'd ever had back in February (which admittedly wasn't bad in general, but did show a worrying trend), which was in the middle of several months of not riding, my blood tests this week are vastly improved. Total cholesterol went from 210 to 169 (target < 200), HDL went from 57 to 66 (target > 40), LDL went from 136 to 87 (target < 130), triglycerides went from 133 to 82 (target < 150). Everything else in the black.

My blood pressure is between "OK" and "pretty good" without meds on days when I'm riding, and OK with meds on other days.

The insurance company has given me hassles in the past because apparently they think that BP meds are ALWAYS taken on a completely regular basis, but my doctor has me self-regulating and taking as needed. He said if they give me any trouble in the future he can just give me a new prescription and I can take it to Target, where a 90 day supply is $10 out of pocket. Since I'm paying $6 copay for a 30 day supply now, sounds good to me. I'll probably ask to do that next time.
