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 think of your birthday as the start of fall but it is hard to get into it when it's still 90 degrees outside. Technically September 22nd is the official first day of Fall so we'll see how close to that Mother Nature actually adheres. Either way, it won't be long before we can get all nice and cozy on a cool night on our patio and I am so looking forward to that!
ReplyDeleteIt's often very warm all the way through October here, so basing it on temperature doesn't really work well here. I guess for me Labor Day has always been the big summer wrap up and then fall starts regardless of the calendar or temperature.
ReplyDeleteThe beginning of September always has me taking a deep breath, knowing that fall is on it's way. Oftentimes our entire month is still very, very warm, but some of our leaves have already started changing and I think that's because we've had so much rain. So I still put out some fall décor because I feel like I'm encouraging the cooler days to speed it up. LOL And I'll light a baked candle or two to remind me of the season.
ReplyDeleteFor me fall starts when the leaves start to change colours. We often get very warm weather well into September due to hurricanes in the Atlantic that push the warm weather up. It is very hard to feel fall-like when you are still wearing shorts, the boat is still in the water, and you are still heading to the beach to swim in the ocean. But when the leaves start to change colours fall is hard to deny.
ReplyDeleteThe day after Labor Day has always been the marker for me...school starts, the reruns on TV are almost over, and some of the leaves have already started turning. Even though we almost always have an Indian Summer, it's still fall.
