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 have to say this week went by kind of fast for me. Usually they drag on when the week starts with a day off/holiday. Probably just jinxed myself since it is early yet on a Friday. Have a great weekend people!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of their last 2 bathroom suggestions either. All the other stuff is already something I do. Towels dry faster spread on a bar than bunched on a single hook and my bathroom is way too tiny to give up even the small amount of storage the medicine cabinet gives. I'm having the bathroom re-done soon (I've been saying for 2 years, so "soon" is relative) and the bars and cabinet will be upgraded but replaced for sure.
ReplyDeleteI've done the bathroom, 2 halls closets, living room, and a small portion of the kitchen. I have 2 decent size donate boxes almost full and have taken out a couple trash bags already. I don't know where this stuff comes from.
At my folks for a few days, kiddo has dr appts and we are going to the water park later today, then home to boring-ness and hiding from the 100+ heat.
It's been a busy day so the weekend won't be too bad on that front -- hopefully. I'll just have a bit of laundry and bill paying to do, and then work the weekend. I did some research yesterday on tree removal companies so I may actually send out inquiries to two places tomorrow. The order of things would be tree removal, get a shed, new deck (which probably won't happen this year but at least the yard would be ready for it). And somewhere in there buy the fridges. But I need to get the skinny table in the kitchen first, which I have on Amazon -- just have to move it to the cart after months of debating. LOL
ReplyDeleteI hope you guys have a good weekend and can have some genuine "chill" time -- if you know what I mean. =o)
