First, some weight updates from earlier in May:
May 2:weight: 231.6
fat percentage: 54.3
hydration: 31.4
muscle: 22.4
bone: 10.5
cal: 2420
May 13 (I weighed myself a bit earlier in the day than normal):
weight: 233.4
fat percentage: 56.6
hydration: 29.8
muscle: 21.3
bone: 10.5
cal: 2430
So these are fairly consistent with what my weight has been over the last while. They're not great, but at least my weight doesn't seem to be increasing.
But in better news, I did bloodwork yesterday and my cholesterol levels are in! While still high, my total cholesterol level has continued its downward trend since the high in November. My total cholesterol and LDL levels specifically are actually lower than they were last July; they're slightly higher than what they were in April of last year. And my HDL is actually a bit higher than it was last time (I normally see that when my LDL drops, so does my HDL, but this month's bloodwork has a higher HDL than February's!) So I am happy to say that whatever it is that my partner and I have been doing (I think specifically eating more home-cooked meals with lots of vegetables and tofu or chicken, eating out less, and trying to walk more) is working!
