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...
Nice backyard space! I grilled asparagus for the first time...delish! Every time I had it at a restaurant it was mushy. It was yard cleanup weekend for me. One of my bffs came out for a visit, first time in a year. Her Mom is going through same thing as your gma and lives with her so she's been Mia for about a year. She's also a new gma and I got to see the bebe for the first time! Also went to a friend's house for a barbecue followed by a fun game of dominoes.

Pretty good weekend overall but too short as usual. Glad we got the patio cleaned up. It's always nice to have the option to go out there when the weather is cooperating.
ReplyDeleteI love that figurine. Our first dog's favorite toy was a hedgehog that mom gave him. Any time she's come over he'd dig through his stash of toys and pull out that one. =o)
ReplyDeleteThis weekend was laid back and I was grateful for that. Went to a meeting, took the dogs for some drives, and puttered around the house. That's about it. Oh yeah I was supposed to meet a friend for breakfast and was at the restaurant for 45 minutes and she never showed. I felt bad for taking up the waitress's table so I ordered breakfast and left her a tip that would have covered both of us. My friend apparently had a migraine and emailed me instead of calling me. I didn't think to have to look at my emails at 8am on a Sunday so I didn't get the message until I got home at 10am. Not happy about that. But I enjoyed a nice meal out by myself!
I didn't get a lot done this weekend. I went to my folks' Thursday to pick up my boy and then came home on Saturday with a stop at a birthday party on the way back. Sunday I made it back to the gym (after a too long hiatus, time to get my chit together) and took him to the TMNT movie. Today is a day for yardwork. I'm so not looking forward to it, but it won't do itself.
ReplyDeleteA walk in the park and a cute little reminder to slow down and take are of yourself and then a great brunch. It sounds like a pretty good weekend for you.
