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...
Mmm... I could seriously huff lilacs all day. I love love love them! I don't do a lot of ME stuff. I suppose spending time with my nieces really makes me happy so I do that often.
ReplyDeleteFlowers are one thing or maybe a new kitchen gadget that I've been coveting. I'll also get myself a pedicure. Seeing my nice, shinny, well painted toenails will often make me smile and it can last for weeks.
ReplyDeleteWe have a wonderful flower shop down the street that sells $5 bundles of tulips in springtime. I'll buy those just to spiff up the living room and they always make me smile. I'm also known for buying myself a candle every now and then. Lemon Poundcake is my current favorite...and it came with a car air freshener...oh good gravy, did that smell so good!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite "me" thing is a massage. Don't do it often but oh, it is so wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteDaffodils in springtime. I love to buy them in a cheap little bundle and watch them open into a little patch of good smelling sunshine.
ReplyDeletei get myself just because presents from time to time. typically when i am near a mall that has a lush store.

Did you get a new camera? Your pics are looking extra sharp and beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jessy! Yes, I got a Canon 60D which is quite the upgrade from my 20D. (I looked at 70D but couldn't justify the extra cost for basically the same camera as a 60D except metal) I absolutely LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteI definitely like to get myself a really good smelly candle that I can enjoy while working in my home office or soaking in a bubble bath and when I can I also get myself three pieces of really good chocolate and eat them away from everyone and everything - not because I'm hiding the fact that I'm eating chocolates (GASP!) but because it is MY time and my time alone!
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty purple flowers!
