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 don't...but I NEED to remember to do it!
ReplyDeleteGreat job by the way!! Awesome progress.
I measure almost everything you do!
ReplyDeleteExcept lower thigh, which I assume is just above your knee? And I don't measure my ankles or my forearms.
That's an AMAZING amount of inches lost!!
wow!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI measure - but not very faithfully. Neck, upper arm, bust, abdomen, waist, hips, thigh, calf.
ReplyDeleteHoly inches lost, Batman! Good for you!!! I haven't measured in a while--need to.
ReplyDeleteHOLY COW!!! Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing progress!
ReplyDeleteYes, I measure and weigh and even periodically take pictures. Anything to remind myself that I HAVE made progress on the days when it feels like I've been stuck at the same place forever.
Absolutely amazing!!! Way to go! I haven't really measured in some time, but I think I need to start back up again. The numbers haven't changed in forever, but I want to put a renewed emphasis on strength training...so hopefully that will help those numbers go down!
ReplyDeleteI'm so inspired by your progress! That is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI think inches tell much more of the story than do pounds! I measure my waist every now and again, but the most powerful measurements for me are my cholesterol, BP, resting heart rate, A1C, Cardio CRP, glucose, etc. etc. When all of those are in the "excellent" range and I'm not taking any prescription medication, then I know I'm doing all the right things :-)
