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...
Ouch! {{Hugs}}
ReplyDeleteThe up bounces are irritating, but you know a down bounce is coming! Hang on for it!
The really irritating part is my calories averaged EXACTLY what they averaged the past 3 weeks when I had losses so the whole "calories in vs calories out" is BS!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe did a 'hell week' this week and I'm terribly sore and inflamed (I had to soak in an epsom salt bath this morning and I'm going to need to pop ibuprofen to function today) I think burning 5000 calories is pretty freakin' good. Grrrrrrrrr
Maybe you're up two because of the inflamed muscles? I know sore muscles will definitely retain fluid. *hugs*
ReplyDeleteSUCKS
ReplyDelete(oh, I know this is where I should write something positive but damn, that just sucks! Sorry.)
I hate that!!!!! F this week!
ReplyDeleteDISLIKE!
ReplyDeleteSorry. :(
Eff the scale! You know how hard you worked and what you ate. It won't stick around. *HUGS*
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% with all the f the weeks.
ReplyDeleteI am catching up...honestly the one with your hawaii skirt had me laughing my dh thought I'd lost my mind...and while I couldn't eat the eggs I have to admit they were adorable...and look like I could actually pull off making them myself. Have a good weekend.
Sorry.
ReplyDeleteUgh, that sucks. I'm sorry!
ReplyDeletekick that scales butt!!! sometimes it is our friend, sometimes our worst enemy.... teach it a lesson next week!!! You are rockin it and some tiny bit of metal can't take you down!!!
ReplyDeleteque Rocky music...
I'm not gonna offer any suggestions...you've been at this game longer than me and know your body better than any of us.
ReplyDeleteHope the scale reflects your hard work next week!
On Saturday mornings I always love pulling up your blog on my phone to see how things went! You're an inspiration even on tough weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou're really the pro here, but one thing that jumped in my mind when you mentioned how sore your muscles are was whether you refuel right after a workout? Chocolate milk has gotten a lot of hype recently for its ideal protein/carb ratio - I've tried it a lot in the past few months after particularly long/fast/brutal runs...and I do think it's helped my muscles recover better.
Possibly worth a shot if you don't do this already? Wouldn't necessarily be a calorie addition - just swapping something else out for an additional ~150-200 recovery calories post workout?
