Cholesterol Conundrum

So after having blood drawn 3 times, I finally got my lipid levels checked! I got a letter in the mail today from my PCP with my Cholesterol levels. It's a mixed bag: My total cholesterol is 222; it should be lower than 200. HDL is 61, a very good number, thanks to taking Omega-3. LDL is 141; very bad--should be lower than 100. Triglycerides were 94--a good number.

It looks like I need to cut some fatty foods out of my diet. I had grilled salmon and a fresh pepper for dinner. Time for more fresh foods and less frozen stuff.
