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.

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.

TGIF indeed! Looks like some more good links and I can't wait to check 'em out. You already know what I'm gonna do this weekend since it happens to be the same as what you're gonna do. Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteI'm really interested in the textcalories tracker from the first article. I wonder if any of your readers have tried it? I really like the idea of just texting my info because I'm not allowed on social networking sites from work so Spark (where I usually track)is out. So are most of the others listed because they have a social networking aspect.

I so want to buy those grapes.
Thanks ... a nice collection of articles and info!
