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...
Wow! Do you ever get points for presentation! That looks a lot more interesting than what I had for breakfast and lunch (dinner is still waiting for me). My homemade oatmeal with apple, pear, walnuts and a sprinkling of lt brown sugar was tasty but not as pretty as your bfast! The tuna salad and cantaloupe I had for lunch was just in a plain container. What dip are you using for the raw veggies? Anyway, it looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks wonderful. I haven't tried the nutella on a banana yet, but it always looks good in the picture. I am still doing yogurt as my mid morning snack...I keep thinking it helps me somehow...
ReplyDeleteArlene, I just use my favorite french onion dip. Anything made with a mix has more sodium than I want to eat.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are so pretty. My food never looks like this. It may be tasty, but a blindfold is often not a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteYou are eatin purdy!!! lol
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs! This is my first time here & I love your site and your attitude! I feel like we are friends even though we've never met. I have about 150 pounds to lose and have just started blogging. I've been vegetarian for about 3 years, so the blog is about my weight loss journey and veg recipes. Please check it out and give me your feedback? It's really "fugly" right now, but I'm working on making it pretty... Yours is a great inspiration - thank you!
