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...
I have to disagree that the workouts have been for nothing. Firstly, without them you may very well have kept that pound! :) Secondly, they will help you and your metabolism kick more pounds later on!

Caught up on your posts here finally, busy week! Glad you're having a good weekend and I would say I'd probably still be jumping up and down if I could squeeze into a size 18/20 no matter how vanity sized it was!
ReplyDeleteNow I know you know that all your workouts are not for nothing...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your road trip today!
I know that feeling, but I also know it's one of those 'untruths' we tell ourselves--that the scale must go down for there to be progress. The fact that you did those workouts is success in its own right!
ReplyDeleteSorry your team lost--at least they didn't get pounded by 30 points like mine did...Keep at it girl! Those workouts are what got you where you are and will get you where you're going!
