health checkup

jus came back from this health checkup thingy.. and i received both good and bad news.. well... first they took height and weight.. and gas wat? they said i was 158.5... the last time i measured it was 157.5... which means i grew 1cm!! ok maybe i'm still a growing child.. haha.. i shall work harder..

then came the blood test.. kow dunno why.. think i was too tensed or what.. the part of the arm where they drew the blood from is still swollen.. yuk.. anw.. that's not the point.. the main point being, i was actually kinda worried that my fat levels would be too high.. but the body fat analysis was ok... turned out that i have too much cholesterol!! can u imagine a 20-year old girl with HIGH CHOLESTEROL??!! irritating.. apparently i've got quite a good high level of good cholesterol (HDL).. but the prob was... i haf a high level of bad cholesterol (LDL) too! WTH...

so i looked at the sources of cholesterol... it says:

Saturated fat -- fatty meat, chicken and duck skin, full cream dairy products, lard, coconut cream, palm oil, hard margarine

well i can safely say that i DON'T eat such stuff.. i hate fatty meat.. as do animal skins.. the only thing i can think of from this category is cheesecake..

but i think my problem comes from this:

Trans fat -- deep fried fast food, pastries, commercially produced cookies and snack foods (e.g. potato chips)

kow! i think my fast food intake is quite low.. as do the deep fried bits.. think i hardly eat deep fried stuff... but i can't say the same about the cookies and chips.. sighz.. does this mean that i have to give up the sole pleasures in life?

i was wondering if the problem mite have arisen from my recent mooncake fiesta.. worst thing being, since we had to wait for the report to process, we went for lunch first.. and i ate... satay bee hoon... (not very great tasting though..) and on the way back i bought pineapple tarts too.. then came the bad news... now i dunno what to do with my tarts.. eat them or not...

but well.. i should suppose the main problem also lies in the lack of physical activity.. other than shopping, i think my main source of movement comes from going to the kitchen to get more junk and walking back to my room.. aargh.. i guess taking public transport is a good thing after all... there's quite a bit of distance involved in walking to the mrt station, and quite a bit of aerobic activity in running after the bus...

oh.. talk abt aerobic activity.. i saw something on tv today... it says that fat can only be burned during aerobic activity.. hmm.. so what sorta exercise constitutes non-aerobic/anaerobic/(whatever) activity?

and from this certain magazine i read that too much sleep can result in puffy eyes too.. i think it's time i invest in a tub of eye cream..
