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 headed for a visit with my MIL in southwestern Colorado and have no idea what will be on the menu. If it's up to her, it will be fast-food hamburgers; but one of the reasons we're going is to persuade her to stop eating so many of those.

ReplyDeleteNo real plans this weekend. My folks might come for a visit, but they haven't decided yet. Otherwise it'll just be typical weekend chores and lazying about.
Happy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteMe and boyfriend are going to wander around this reservoir in our state for a few hours today, we're picking a mini road trip for tomorrow, a boat on Tuesday, and bumming/homework&studying the rest of the time. Oh the joys of being a grad student (me) and him working on getting his PE (engineer)
Absolutely thrilled for you, Dragon Slayer girl!!! Two thumbs WAY up (mine! not yours - you rest yours with ice!! ;)

ReplyDeleteThis weekend we try to restore order after Hurricane Isaac. Schools will reopen Tuesday, we think. My daughter's high school was used as a shelter for evacuees. Not sure if they'll be able to return people to their homes or not with the new problems of locks failing and dams breaking. I'm betting your weekend is a LOT better than ours. lol I hope you have a magical birthday!!
ReplyDelete*hugs*
Happy Birthday Weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt is my birthday weekend too. I started the celebration by walking a 5K (second year), then going and weighing in and losing 2.4 lbs too. How weird is that? I had a birthday party yesterday - and decided to have the cake, 'cause my brother and his wife actually make cake that is good! No other real plans for the rest of the weekend...
Oh - and congrats on slaying the dragon!!!!
Happy Birthday! I just found your page, not quite sure how I got here. Sometimes, when I can't sleep I blog hop. It's better than bar hopping, right? But, wow, I love what you are doing. And congrats on the success. I've added you to my favorites so I can check out your workouts and recipes, but I should probably get some sleep.
ReplyDeleteAs for this weekend, feel free to peek at my blog. I just updated it for today's fun. Have a great weekend!

Well, thanks for getting that song stuck in my head! But hooray for losing another 2 pounds--that is a huge deal!
