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...
It was a great day hanging out with you, as always, and I had a good time hanging out with the family and eating that yummy Menchies!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful day! Just what we needed and I think people actually liked going to the fro yo place. Next year, dinner where *I* want no matter what side of town! Pffft!
DeleteYesterday is a day I'd just as soon not have pictorial evidence of. The morning was fine, but the afternoon just kept getting worse. Nothing major happened, but a string of annoyances left me all green and hulky by bedtime. Hopefully today will be better.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had fun at the zoo.
Ugh, let's hope today is picture worthy! :) (And not in a hulky way!)
Deleteyum and awwww....maddie.
ReplyDeletemy day wud have been....me turning greener and redder day by day with the family vacation plans for next month with the in laws...lol...
Isn't she cute?
DeleteOh man, the words "vacation" and "in-laws" do not mix! LOL
Taking care of 3 dogs, biking to work, day at the office, volunteering at animal shelter, biking home in the dark (since it gets dark earlier-boo hoo), welcome home barks from dogs and hubby (ok, he didn't bark), watching the red sox on the couch while eating a sugarfee fudgicle!
ReplyDeleteLong day... but good!
Oh you know the hubby barked! ;)
DeleteSounds like a fun, busy day!
That dog is SO stinkin' cute! I'd cuddle him all day = ) Looks like you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteIsn't she? Her fur was ridiculously soft and she liked to give lots of kisses! :D
DeleteOoooh, what are the chipotle bites? They look good! (as do the pork chops and frozen yogurt. :P)
ReplyDeleteThe chipotle bites are from Trader Joe's. Very yummy and when I tried to recreate them myself, I found that it was only like $.20 more to buy them pre-assembled there so I let them have all the fun and we eat them. HA!
DeleteI need the recipe for your pork chop! It looks awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's super easy! For 2 pork chops I use 3 tbsp brown sugar hickory BBQ sauce and 1 tbsp of chunky apple jelly. After you've grilled up your seasoned chops, brush on the sauce and enjoy! :)
DeleteSorry I missed your birthday. My computer got fried in a power outage and then we had issues restoring it, had to change the operating system, yadda yadda yadda. I wish you the very, very best. I never know if you reply to my posts, never get notices of replies, anyhow. If you ever want to get hold of me, be sure to use my primary email, not my gmail. Sending love to you and your Mr.
ReplyDeleteBoo on fried computers! Thanks so much for the birthday wishes. You're the best girl!
DeleteAww, puppy! And froyo too. Looks like a good day to me. :)
