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...
Yay, but with some serious willpower involved cause that stuff can get out of hand real quick in the form of calories per tablespoon.
ReplyDeleteTopic can make me crazy. I have no problem with people using it in baking. But parents who put it on toast for kids for breakfast, as if it were the same as peanut butter, really make me mad. It is basically frosting. No kid should grow up thinking that taste is “food”.
ReplyDeleteNay. Both the hubs and I tried it with high hopes and neither one of us liked it, so into the garbage it went. I think we are in the minority with that opinion though.
ReplyDeleteMeh. I don't dislike it (I love hazelnut), but oddly enough I can't say I'm wild about it either!
