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 want!!!! I WANT!!! Czesia's HANGRY! lol! I hope you can taste again soon :( that must really suck.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon. I wish I had taken a picture of the fabulous dinner I had tonight to celebrate our anniversary....broiled halbiut and prawns over mashed potatoes and steamed veggies...with a light butter lemon sauce...omg. sooo good! Then i ate part of franks hot fudge sundae....sigh . Such a good day! Lol
ReplyDeleteMy breakfasts are boring, same old same old, and my lunches are usually leftovers. Last night's dinner was a 3 oz pork loin chop, baked, half a small butternut squash from last fall's garden and steamed asparagus. Sure looked pretty, and tasted good, too. Notice I carefully left out the two pats of butter, one for each vegetable. I'm sneaky that way.
ReplyDeleteI'm an "oil" girl too--every time I see that commercial about the oil vs. cream, I want to yell at the TV that Cool Whip is awesome! ;)
ReplyDelete"I bet that tasted good." Hehehe... you poor thing! This food looks SO GOOD! I loved the rice, chicken, vegetables dish with your standard lunch. Great picture, too. I always love your lunches. I'm going to try the tuna tacos soon. Not a chili gal here, but, boy you sure made a container of pudding with whipped topping beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, and keep rocking the oatmeal !! You *know* I'm a fan. I do vanilla extract and ground cinnamon, then slivered almonds and a diced fruit.
ReplyDeleteHappy Aloha Friday to you!! Sorry about the airline hassles - always a nightmare. I chose not to comment on rude people at airports/on planes. My head would explode!! I am sorry you guys had to go through that crappy experience.
