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...
It's a shame anger and frustration don't burn calories.
ReplyDeleteChild, if they did, I would be Kate Moss by now! Especially after this week! HA!
ReplyDeletePoop. The whole 'eat X calories less than you burn and you'll lose Y pounds a week' is hogwash. Our bodies are not calculators and don't seem to subscribe to that notion, at least mine doesn't. It eventually all balances out, but it doesn't make me any happier when I've busted my butt all week and see that kind of result (or worse yet, a GAIN).
ReplyDeleteIn my SP blog yesterday, I referred to our "previously abused and now confused" bodies. Shame on your scale! I'm sorry for the 2 oz. and I won't say "just wait 'til next week" or "muscle weighs more than fat".
ReplyDeleteWeight loss is a cruel process but you're a worthy opponent in the battle! Have a great Sunday!!

I say let's pummel the scale into submission and beat the snot out of it...that's got to count for some calorie burn! =o) My scale has had the EXACT same number for three weeks...and I mean to the ounce. I think it took a vacation and didn't tell me because it's deciding not to work. I find it hard to believe I haven't shifted in either direction in 3 weeks. Pfft.
ReplyDeleteWe are both in another lull it seems. It was a stressful week so lets hope we can come out of this next week with a big loss!
ReplyDeleteA loss is a loss is a loss!
ReplyDeleteI sneeze bigger than 2 oz.
ReplyDeleteI know, I know.....
ReplyDeletei haven't lost weight since last yr....well i have, but it's been 3lbs gain, 3lbs lost. so, essentially, i've been stuck since last April. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteWTF - 2 ozs! Girl, I feel ya! I hate seeing shiz like that...sheesh. Sorry the scale isn't cooperating. :-(
ReplyDeleteIf only a stern talking-to (the scale) would help! LOL
