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 am all for the ongoing productivity push too. What else can we get into. I am glad I got the Christmas lights down off the house and boxed up for next year. I usually wait for a mild day but I am actually happy we have had more snow days lately so it was just fine taking things down in stages so I could warm up in between. Happy Friday everybody!
ReplyDeleteOf course I woke up today like "yeah...no." That walk around the cemetery took it out of me yesterday for some reason.
DeleteI am a long time member of the Procrastinators Club. When I finally accomplish something that's been niggling, wowza. I cleaned out and organized the freezer this week, because I KNEW there were chops in there, but where? Now everything has a place, and I know what we have, feels great. I swept and mopped, then made a perfect cup of pour over coffee...opened the cupboard to put the coffee filters away, and a jar of peanut butter jumped out, landed on my coffee, and dang it, why right after I mopped the floor?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see I'm not the only member of the club! You're giving me ideas with the freezer. I wonder what I would find in mine!? Awww, you poor nugget! That is exactly the kind of thing that would happen to me. Then you just kind of break the fourth wall of the camera that is shooting the show of your life and are like "really?"
DeleteJust finished grocery shopping, so now it's finishing up the two load of laundry that are left and continuing to pitch crap that I don't need or want anymore. Then it's work the rest of the weekend. Enjoy a nice productive weekend and some good walks outside!
ReplyDeleteHooray for groceries and laundry being taken care of! I need to follow your lead on pitching things but I feel like I'd pitch the whole house if I got in the right mood! I hope your work is much better than the previous 10 days and you can breathe a little better.
DeleteNo big plans this weekend. I might go see a movie this evening since my local theater just reopened and Id like to support them. Or I might just stay home because it'll be dark and cold and my couch will be soft and warm. Yesterday was my one Friday a month that I have to work so my weekend is already 1/3 shorter.
