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...
Weather and both of our feet/legs permitting it would be nice to paddle this weekend but don't be in a rush if it doesn't feel right. You're right about summer though - it's flying by! Fall is really on the radar now!
ReplyDeleteI like the last of those fancy cabinets - I could really use a drawer for my pans/lids/plastic containers instead of them all being piled together in my "cupboard of doom". Maybe I'll go out today and buy a plastic tote that will fit and see how that works, and if it does I can install a drawer later. Some of those ideas are really great, but I have no room for them.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend! I hope your legs are up to some fun. I'll be finishing up decluttering/deep cleaning my upstairs this weekend and then tackle the basement in small chunks.
I'm all about body language and energy around my pups. They are so in tune to my energy, thus why I cannot cry or yell in front of them if I'm upset. When Elsie got into the skittles I didn't say a word to her; just quietly stood in front of her and had a stare down. She ended up hanging her head and laying at my feet. She KNEW what she did and I didn't have to say a word. I wouldn't engage her the rest of the night and she was not happy about that. A toy got flung on my lap. A head rested on my knee. A lick to my hand. Me? Nada. Would not make eye contact with her. I resumed normal activities the next morning with her and you'd think she just won the dog lottery. LOL Hand signals work best with Finn - must be the border collie in him. =o)
ReplyDeleteGoing out to mom's today to check on the car battery, then will go out there again tomorrow morning and hopefully get that all taken care of. So lots of driving. And I'm excited for the Olympics to start.
Enjoy your weekend and be extra careful with your legs and feet! xoxoxo
