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...
It is a shame that having a carved pumpkin is not what it used to be. I think it's just our neighborhood that seems to lack the Halloween spirit but I actually don't see as many pumpkin carvings in general. So yeah, no pumpkin here.
ReplyDeleteMine were getting chewed on by critters so I stopped carving and putting out. I find Halloween sad as I get few trick or treaters and feels like a waste of my time. It also makes me reminiscent of simpler times which can drag me down.
ReplyDeleteWe used to put out carved pumpkins and the plastic ones with the lights built in, but haven't for several years. We'll usually buy either one big pumpkin or some little pie-sized ones for our little stoop. Not sure if we will these year with everything going up in price, but I do have a Halloween flag and mat out front as of now.
