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'm baaack!

Well, back to reality.  Thanks so much to everyone who continued to comment on my posts while I was gone.  I did read them all even if I couldn't respond to them.  (I truly believe vacations are for relaxing, I don't let the Mr bring his work so I don't bring mine)  I'd like to thank all of my guest posters, Jeff from A Schorr Thing, Cammy from Tippy Toe Diet, Julie from Savvy Eats and Jen from Jen's Fit Journey for keeping things lively for me while we were in the islands.  Click on their names if you missed their posts and leave 'em some love in the comments.  If you emailed while I was gone, I've responded.  I know you don't begrudge me some recharge time.  ;)

This trip was interesting to say the least.  I don't think numerology was on our side with our 13th trip to the islands and the 10th anniversary of a trip that didn't go so hot with a friend.  We were able to somehow get through it and there were some serious weight related things that came to the surface that I'll elaborate on in the coming weeks.  I swear I could write 2 weeks of posts just based on some of the crap that went on.  It wasn't without its triumphs as well but isn't that what this little weight loss adventure is all about?  The highs and lows and everything in between?

Stay tuned for your chance to share a little aloha.

    Welcome back. I read all your blogs but I am afraid I didn't comment most times. My life has been more complicated for the past couple of weeks...

    I can't wait to hear all about your vacation. Your comments have me very intrigued.
