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...
The one that comes to mind is the Colosseum in Rome. It was surreal standing there looking down into the "pit" where the gladiators had their battles, and the Gate of Life where they would file in to fight, and the Gate of Death on the other side where the dead were carried out. I remember standing there and it felt like being transported in time and there was such an incredible heaviness that stayed with me for several days. I've never forgotten that feeling, realizing how much violence took place there.
