Back on the trainer again

I got back on the Computrainer for the first time since May this morning. I'm a little out of practice with having everything set up right, but thankfully, my fabulous husband set it up in the trainer while I worked late last night. I just had to turn on the computer, load up the program, put on some rockin' tunes and get on the bike. It wasn't too bad, but the time passed by soooooo slowly. I did get a 2nd wind when Queen's "Bicycle" came on with 5 minutes to go. It was nice to get the day's workout completed and still make it to work before 8 AM, because it allows me to be more "flexible" with my work. I'd rather be outside any day though. Stupid weather and dwindling daylight!

On a positive note, my poison ivy is healing nicely. It barely itches now. I think identifying it finally made it say "OK, you now know what I am. Good! Now, I can let you heal. Spiders indeed!"

Finally, I got the results of my cholesterol test and it continues to be high. I'm up to 234 (from 226 in March). The lady told me I needed to eat better and exercise more. I laughed at the latter comment. Now, I'm not the best eater in the world, but I am healthier than most of America. I think I'm headed to a dietician next to try to get this under control naturally. I know it is inherited from my mother, but it just seems weird that someone who works out as much as I do can have high cholesterol. At least my good cholesterol was very high (optimal even). As I'm about to turn 35, I realize I can't continue to ignore this as I have since the first time my results were over 200 at age 29 and end up kicking the bucket early from heart disease. I'm not ready for medicine. Let's see what an improved diet can do.
