This does not compute

Twice a year I visit my endocrine specialist for a routine checkup on the various hormone levels she is treating via medications. In advance of those visits, I get some blood work done to give her something to evaluate besides my happy demeanor. :)

Since I'll see her next week, I endured the needle last week. But what with losing 20 pounds since my last visit, and starting up running again as well as playing tennis, I figured "oh, this will be a good-looking blood draw for sure". Oops. :( I just got the results and - cholesterol is up, triglycerides are up. What the...?? It's not supposed to go in opposite directions to weight and fitness improvement! What is that about?

Hope she has some answers for me. Grrr.. maybe I need a retake.
