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...
Woo hoo! Finally a loss following a larger loss. You may be on to something here...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your road trip. I will be sitting at my computer working for most of the weekend.
:(
Hurray for a loss--ANY loss after a bigger one is good! Have fun on your road trip; we are watching our grandson (3 years old), so we will be having our own fun time. Love doing that!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on that 1 pound!! Every single one counts. And enjoy your road trip! =o)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip. Enjoy your soreness too, I know that always makes me a little hopeful as well.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind being a tad sore, just enough so that I know I worked out, but I do everything I can to avoid pain. If I hurt too much after a workout I know I didn't have proper form or I didn't stretch enough. Or both. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your recovery trip!
Soreness makes me hopeful too. Is it sad, that pain makes us think happy thoughts? I'm home cleaning and watching happy movies like X-men (mmmm Hugh Jackman) and Indiana Jones (mmmmm young-ish Harrison Ford) maybe Star Trek later (the new one)...then some more torture so that maybe, if I'm lucky I'll lose during that one week each month that always manages to set me back a pound or two. Have fun on your trip, hope it is fun, fun, fun.
ReplyDeleteWHOO HOO! It's those pounds at a time that add up to big victories over time. Sometimes, for me, it's the little changes that mean the most.
