Blood Work - My Latest Physical

Some of you may be wonding wtih all these eggs, meat, fat, exercise and supplements - what is Brian's actual clinical blood work.

I have a family history of High Cholesterol and high blood pressure, I am 35.  I weigh 165 pounds and am 5'10"
My latest physical was 10/15/2010

Cholesterol: 233  (webMD says target under 200)  The doctor said no meds were needed.  I wouldn't take them anyway.  Your body makes 80% of your cholesterol and the rest comes from diet.  I won't go into my opinions about cholesterol meds here
LDL: 148 ( target under 130) - I cook with butter a lot :)
HDL: 74 (target over 40)
Blood sugar: 84 (target under 100)  my last physical years ago was 110.  I've cut down a lot of sugar since then
Triglycerides: 54 (target under 150)
Blood Pressure: 110/50 (this is from memory, I don't have it in front of me.  I'm forgetting the lower number)
Heart Rate: 54 bpm
