Did Statins Help?

Pardon if this is riddled with typos but it's 2:30am. I got my lipid blood test results back yesterday.  I'm going to assume heading into perimenopause years shot my numbers up because nothing has changed food wise (though stress wise it's been astronomical the past few years which apparently contributes as well). A reminder, I was at 264 at the beginning of December and my shuck and jive speech to get my shit together didn't land well with her.  After a talk with my bestie who is on them convinced me (us) with her experience, I relented and agreed to go on them. After almost 4 months on a 10mg dose (the lowest dose available), I'm at 184.  So, I guess they work.  😂   I will also say this is with zero dietary changes and a pretty scattered workout schedule the past two months.  I hope in time when all of the projects are done and we are finally able to focus on ourselves that I can eventually go off of them with hard work.   I'm pleased with...

Can I Get a Witness?- Weigh In

2 lbs down!  The Mr and I dance...

Isolating my thumb is proving to be a pain in the arm (and neck) with my sling but I'll do whatever it takes to heal it right now.  Ice, massages and finding interesting new ways to open jars using one hand.  This weekend I will be re-working our exercise plan for the rest of the month to include non-punching activitahs and given I burned 1165 calories just hiking at our local park on a non-sweltering day and 830 in 38 minutes of step aerobics, (cue Mary Tyler Moore music) "I might just make it after alllllll!"

    Very cool, congrats on the weight loss!! I had forgotten about the massage part of my recovery. That helped a lot too!

    So I was thinking about hiking and stepping . . . . . . maybe you could add some step dancing??? Oh, wait, I only suggest things I'd do myself and that has danger written all over it. Flying body parts, you know. NEVER MIND. Have a great and fun weekend!

    Good for you!! Would physical therapy help the thumb to heal any quicker? Your determination (stubbornness? lol) ever amazes and inspires me!

    YES YOU CAN!

    Great loss. I know the scale has been giving you a hard time lately, but you deserve a loss every single week.

    Certainly a big WOOHOO from my corner of the world. And the hiking is wonderful...you can manage to go for a little while longer without punching things, I suppose.
