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 do enjoy summer days that aren't blast furnace hot. Like to go paddling when we can as long as it's not too hot out.
ReplyDeleteBoy, there's something we need to get back into if the inflatables aren't at their burst point. LOL
DeleteI enjoy sitting on the deck under the tree with a good breeze. Early morning walks at the park are very peaceful, too, before it gets too hot and busy. I also like going to the local minor league baseball games in town, but we haven't been able to do that the past few years. It's still something I enjoy and hope to get back to one day. One of the things that really makes me happy is to sit on my front porch when it's that summer rain and the smell is so tied to summertime.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds heavenly, especially the rain. Don't know the last time we had actual rain here.
DeleteI can only hope for 83! Our forecast for this week is a high of 64 and a low of 44! That's living on an island on the east coast of Canada for you! But we are getting the pool ready, fingers crossed it gets a little warmer soon!
ReplyDeleteI'll trade ya, those are my spirit temps! LOL How are you guys doing with the wildfires? Everyone okay?
DeleteHaha I could use it a little warmer! We're good in Newfoundland so far but we had a dry winter with not much snow so there is concern about wildfires later in the season. Smoke from Quebec is expected to head our way over the weekend though.
