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...

  2. Great articles! The before/after one was quite cool. I heard on the radio this week of another woman who did a before/after and it was the complete opposite of what we'd expect. She used to be a work-out fanatic and was super cut and had to maintain such a strict lifestyle that she hated her life. She finally said screw this and actually gained some wait and stopped obsessing with having this super defined body and she looks amazing- and it so much happier. It was really cool.

    I've already been to the burbs and back this morning to drop off the tax stuff (phew!). Now it's taking the pooches for a drive in the (frigid) sunshine. Have a meeting tomorrow then lunch with a friend of mom's in the burbs. And somewhere along the way I need to get some serious loads of laundry done. Riveting stuff I tell ya. lol
