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...
I prefer my kindle, just because I read so many books a month that the unlimited on amazon makes it more economical for me. A series I got sucked into is The Girl Who Dared to Think. It's a fast moving series and the author doesn't make us relive the last book in the first chapter, they just start right up where the last left off. It's a rare treat for me when that happens, especially when you are binge reading a series.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely a paperback kind of girl. This was reinforced when I dropped my tablet in the bathtub once while reading. I was lucky rice dried it out and it survived, but I don't want to take another chance. I'm not a fast reader and I have a stack of books waiting for me at all times. They are usually hand-me-downs from my mother or purchases from charity book sales.
ReplyDeleteI like a wide variety of books. I just finished the historical fiction "New York" by Edward Rutherford and have just picked up the light fiction of "A Wedding in December" by Anita Shreve (author of the Pilot's Wife, which I also read and enjoyed). And I'm probably the last person on Earth who hasn't read it, but next up is "The Girl on the Train"
We are now pretty much all audio. Books, podcasts. Car, walking, around house. We have huge library at Audible and really use it.
ReplyDeleteI have a Kindle but I prefer a book! I just finished a book I absolutely loved called Young Jane Young by Gabrielle Zevin.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely a paperback book kind of gal. I have started reading books on my Kindle from three favorite authors of mine whose series I zip through quickly (Laura Kaye, Kaylea Cross, and Pamela Clare). Two older books that I really like are both from Jan Silvious...Please Don't Say You Need Me and Foolproofing Your Life (probably one of the best books I've ever read).
ReplyDeleteMy main interests are military romance and old west romances, both of which I learn so much about a different way of life. Linda Lael Miller is phenomenal for writing books from back in the old west...and she's funny too, which is a must for me.
