Now I'm on heart and high cholesterol medication.

My Goals:
Lower blood pressure to below 120/75, cholesterol to below 180, increase HDL so that LDL/HDL ratio is lower than 4, all so that I don't have to take medication, bike with husband again, do sprint triathlons, eat 5-8 veggies/fruits a day, understand my body's needs better and achieve my healthy weight.
My Program:
No real program, though it's similar to South Beach phase 2. Eating fish at least twice a week, vegetarian at least once a week, cutting red meat to once a week, eating complex carbs instead of refined carbs, alcohol to once a month. As for fitness...Intervals 3xweek, resistance bands 2-3xweek, cardio 2 or more xweek. Also, taking CLA (safflower oil) in gel tablet form 3000mg daily.
Personal Information:
I live in California in the North SF bay area. I currently coach gymnastics...Instructional Program Director and an Xcel and team developmental Coach. Everyone in my family (DH, 3 daughters) is slender and healthy. I feel like the odd woman out so it's time to make changes.
