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...
Good job!! Have a fun weekend, looking forward to all the details!! (It's a working weekend for me but I'll still find time for fun things!)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Can we be cautiously optimistic for next week? Enjoy the weekend. I've got Relay for Life tonight, walking all night and selling some goodies as a fundraiser. It's for a good cause and worth it, but it's going to be a long night and a longer tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the loss two weeks in a row!! Enjoy your road trip--and coming home to the power working! We got our deductible back from our accident (yippee!!) yesterday so that was a lovely surprise. We are taking in someone's dog (bad neglect issues) to see how she gets along with Finny and we'll see how it goes from there. It'll be an interesting weekend that's for sure.... =o)
ReplyDeleteA killer workout that's already done and now laundry. Exciting weekend, huh? :). Contests on the loss and hope you have a great road trip!
ReplyDeleteGreat results!
ReplyDeleteMost of my week will be devoted to house projects. (What else is new?)
Safe travels!
The kids and grand kids are coming out to swim��
ReplyDeleteWe took the canoe out yesterday. We have a trolling motor for it and were glad we brought it yesterday the wind was really pushing us around. We paddled as well. Saw a first for me: a couple came in a double kayak and brought their dog. I need to google him, but it was a tallish, short-furred, blue-eyed water dog (clearly! ;) and he was wearing his life vest with the handle on the back. Well, he hopped around in the wearer, getting wet and getting psyched, but once the couple was ready and the wife got in the front, he got really excited and swam out around the kayak. Then the husband got in the back. As I stood there thinking, how are they going to get him in the kayak, they shoved off - the dog swimming out in front!! That dude was still in the lead, slightly to the right side of the kayak as I watched it disappear around a bend! Swimming with his vest on, smiling - I swear! COOL!
ReplyDeleteToday is unplanned as of yet ;) Hope you guys are having fun!! Way to go on the loss!!!
