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 remember seeing an elderly couple who really looked like they ordered the smallest, most affordable breakfasts because it was likely all they could afford. Secretly paying for their meal just felt right and the person who waited on us that day really seemed to understand why we were doing that too - as if they knew those people as regulars who didn't have much money to spend on their meals. I agree with you, it's the kind of thing that hopefully sets their day off in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteI've plugged meters, shut car doors and trunks in parking lots, shut off car lights. I throw their paper closer to the door when walking Bagel. I've dropped cash in mailboxes. I'm not very sneaky so its hard for me to pull off things without people noticing. (Bull in China shop )
ReplyDeleteSomeone I knew was talking about someone they knew who was struggling financially and rent was do. so I sent off an anonymous payment to the rental place to cover rent for the month, and never said a word to anyone about it. Well, until here. LOL
ReplyDeleteA friend lost her job. I stopped by and handed her son an envelope. It had $1000 in it. But I agree, paying for meals, leaving a quarter in the Aldi cart, buying a gift card and asking the cashier to use it for someone. Even small acts can make a big difference!
ReplyDeleteIf I told you, it wouldn't be a secret anymore would it? lol.
