Goal Setting and Testing
Just analysed my last set of blood work to see where I am at health wise so here is the following results:
Thyroid Stimulating Hormone 5.00mU/L (this is over the higher lever I should be at but it is not any contributing factor to anything
Luteinising Hormone 2U/L (this is way under any normal level - need to read up what this actually is??? Anyone out there knows???)
Follicle Stimulating Hormone 7U/L (this is towards the low end of the scale in every cycles - again do not know what this means so will read up about it)
Oestradiol (Oestrogen) 400pmol/L again as above Hormone
Progesterone 21 nmol/L same
Testosterone .6 nmol/L (I don't know how much a female should have but doc says it is normal)
Glucose 5.0mmol/L (this should be lower, maximum should be 4.0mmol/L)
Cholesterol 3.26mmol/L (this is spot perfect - ranges should be between 3.6-6.9)
Triglycerides .6mmol/L (this is spot perfect - should always be lower than .85mmol/L - thanks to loving barramundi almost every night for dinner)
HDL 1.43mmol/L (this needs to be improved on - should be greater than 2mmol/L - more trans-fatty acids needs to be eaten, so more salmon and tuna maybe instead of barramundi)
LDL 1.59mmol/L (can be improved on - a good goal is to have it under 1.5mmol/L so almost there - means maybe less beef and more kangaroo)
There is a whole lot of other measures but they are just measuring your red cell count, white cell count, platelets etc etc, a tad immaterial to my goal.
so here are some short term goals to follow:
1. Eat more fatty fish, add a bit of variety instead of just eating barramundi (but barra is so yummmy!)
2. maybe getting back into eating some almonds everyday or more flaxseed oil in protein shakes
3. Eat some leaner cuts of beef - some lean rump maybe instead of sirloin and have kanagroo - which I quite enjoy - being a girl who grew up on wild kanagroo while living out in the bush at Lightning Ridge.
Body Balance is on tonight, week 2 of the new launch which was just fantastic. Got so much work on at the moment, it is just great to stretch and unwind.
Well I best be getting back to work, had my little break. Talk to you all soon.
Long Live Fitness!
Ciao!

Hi Doris, I wouldn't mind getting my bloods tested. It's good to know if there are any issues.
Hope your doing well.

Hi Doris,
Lutenising hormone is to do with the menstrual cycle releasing eggs - therefore it is likely that the only time it will show a normal level is at that time of the month. Follicle stimulating hormone works in combination with LH so this would be similar. Not sure you need to worry about those two too much in relation to your fitness levels. Things like cortisol are much more important.

Hey thanks Irene
Hey Andj, great and thanks for the info........... I had the tests done initally as I am apparently peri-menopausal, ie I drop in and out of symptoms, go up to 20 weeks without a period . I don't think she measured the cortisol levels. Will check.
Hi Doris, your results look really good. I love that you have decided to go with the Oct 09 season in Physique. That totally rocks!! I think that you will be outstanding at it. I really look forward to reading your blog and seeing how you make your goal a reality.
Thanks for having such fantastic posts!
