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 may take the lights down if the weather allows for it. I hate taking them down if it's too cold not just because it sucks to do it in the cold but also because the wires tend to be stiffer and can actually get damaged with too much handling while frozen. Other than getting a few things like that done around the house, I got nothing in terms of what to do for the weekend. Anyone got any good movie recommendations?
ReplyDeleteWe grocery shopped today for next week and the hubs took down the Christmas stuff in the bay window so we can see out again. It's super cold out with the wind, so we threw on the new grill cover and the hubs really liked it with the air vent. We take one of the pooches swimming tomorrow, then it's house stuff until I go to work. The other pooch has a birthday on Monday so he'll get some extra lovin' this weekend. I had a colonoscopy planned for the end of the month and cancelled that due to the massive outbreak here. The scheduler whispered into the phone that it was a good idea not to come to the hospital right now because it was really, really bad. Poor girl. I recorded the figure skating from last weekend so I'm finally down to the last one to watch with the men's long program. I'll do that after the hubs goes to bed and I can sprawl out and hit replay as many times as I want. LOL I hope you guys have a good weekend and there is construction silence for you for a few days!!
ReplyDeleteI'm test driving a car this afternoon. I've been looking for something inexpensive with a manual transmission to teach the kid on for a long time, and I found something I think will work. It's older than I hoped for, but low mileage makes up for that. Wish me luck. Other than that, nothing exciting. Some housework, grocery shopping, and some Dr. Who from the marathon I recorded.
ReplyDeleteOur school is on remote learning this next week so at some point I need to redo all of my lesson plans to make them remote friendly. I think the admin made a good call, but we didn't find out until Thursday at lunch (4 day week) and I'd already done all my plans once. I wish we had known Wednesday or even Thursday morning.
