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...
You are absolutely amazing! I'm so sorry you're so sick.... sounds the same as my cold last week. I hope you get well SOONER! {{HUGS}}
ReplyDeleteI'm aching in sympathy with you. You're amazing...I would never have gone for a hike while that sick. Hope it doesn't PUT you in the hospital.
ReplyDeleteIf you get the deadly pestilence (otherwise known as this years 'flu')it doesn't count against your exercise streak if you have to miss a day or so. Being sick is the same as having an injury - failure to treat it makes it worse. Feel better!
ReplyDeleteYou are very STRONG to take that hike when you felt so badly yesterday. I let a flu-type illness last weekend interrupt my 100-day challenge to walk at least one mile per day. I know 100 days--that's nothing, compared to your every single day for evermore!
ReplyDeleteHope you are better soon. It is to be 45 here today, with 50's promised for the rest of the week-looking forward to some outside walking again--if the roads will dry up some. I wonder how many extra calories you can burn if your shoes are loaded down with MUD?
I need to stop reading your food blogs when I'm hungry. Makes me want to eat everything on the page!
ReplyDeleteI'm heading to Trader Joe's this weekend--need to look for those brownie bars!
ReplyDeleteI feel pretty ashamed of myself because I will use ANNNNY excuse not to exercise, and here you are sick and still fitting it in. I hope that you'll take a break from it if you need to, though--it sounds like you need to rest! And drink more tea!
