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...
ReplyDeleteIf nothing was off limits I would want to try that wing suit thing where they fly right next to the side of a cliff and parachute down at the last second. I would also surf, zipline, kite surf, all kinds of things that weight gets in the way of. I also think that without inhibitions I would have pursued the martial arts not just as a kid.
I would skydive because I'm terrified of heights. With no inhibitions I would run a program that pairs veterans suffering from PTSD and TBI with dogs that rescued from shelters and trained up to be service dogs, and be involved in every aspect. And it would be completely free for veterans. That would be my life's work.
ReplyDeleteI don't let much stop me from trying things due to my weight. I've been ziplining, parasailing, cliff diving, snow boarding, horseback riding and many more. What I would want is to feel confident doing them. I probably don't enjoy them as much as I should because I'm thinking about my weight and how I look and a million other things that go along with being overweight. I want my daughter to try as much as she can in life, have the time of her life and feel confident along the way.
