My cholesterol came down 90 points after using red yeast rice and co q 10 and niacin combo. I take an additional coq 10.
very happy about this, so no statins! Yay!
It lowered my LDL and triglycerides as well The onl thing that showed up on my report was that I have a uti....I don't think so .....Diarrhea . the test was contaminated.

I'm feeling a little on top of the world this evening. I have a feeling/am hoping that this is simply from the fact that I am still learning to regulate regular emotions so something I'm proud of/happy about is spinning out of control. Hopefully, things will be fine after I get some sleep. That, or maybe my brain is overcompensating to try and cover my anxiety since that has increased again since my mom (who is a large part of why I need counseling) unexpectedly sent something in the mail for teacher appreciation week. My body language at work has screamed "anxious!" for well over a month at this point-maybe two.

Side note: I don't know how those of you with kids do it. The amount/variety of feelings I have towards, and how much I care about, my students is wild (in a good way) and they aren't even my own kids. Shout out to all of you (and lots of support) as you balance life with caring for your kids (no matter how old they are). And, if anyone on here has ever lost a child or have a tough relationship with them, I am so sorry.

When tf did I start getting hangovers? Oh, probably because I actually stopped drinking at some point.

I’m going to the Yolk for breakfast. It’s basically the “I need something greasy and a drink” for breakfast.

Didn’t cancel my therapy appointment so I guess I’m going.

I'm throwing up a lot today but I have energy and I'm not in pain or anxious. So I still have no idea what that means. But I was able to take a shower, and my moods are fine, and I haven't needed a valium yet.

As long as I don't have monster pain or nausea then I'm good.

Right now I feel ok with my meds and the doses I'm on. But I haven't thrown them up in a couple days...

I got my closet organized and I'm washing my blankets. Its national clean your room day.

Does anyone else hate that Clear Choice commercial where people are eating food all sloppy and goofy and waving it in front of the camera because they can eat now? Idk it always gets on my nerves for some reason.

Husband took me on a hike through the woods today. Part of it was up a VERY long and steep hill with like a MILLION stone steps. I felt like I was dying! Not only am I out of shape but I've ruined my lungs by vaping for Pete's sake. Halfway up we stopped so I could catch my breath and I turned to my husband and said, "Husband, I hate you." And he responded with, "What? You're the one who said you wanted to shed some pounds!"

Asshole! Lol

Of course he was completely unphased by this awful hill with the bazillion stone steps!!

Oh, and he expects me to do it AGAIN on Monday... I was like FUKK NO.

Feeling a bit blue today which is unusual it’s a Saturday and I’ve got no work. Taking my son for swimming lessons today then going to the mall to pick up eyeliner because mine will run out soon. Maybe the retail therapy will serve me well.

This week at work wasn’t as bad as others. I mean my classes have been worse in the past so I should be thankful for small blessings!

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and we’re going out to a cafe with my partner’s family. Hopefully that will cheer me up!

My stomach hurts. I've eaten very lightly for two days, less than 1000 calories a day. It feels sour. I don't feel hungry. I can only digest bland carbs, like Cheerios (no milk). Well, since i'm so very overweight it's not an emergency. Maybe it's even a good thing -- i'll finally lose weight, tho it's uncomfortable.

Hugs to all who need them!

Been completely cheating on my diet, and I am still battling with the same two pounds I have been battling with even when I was dieting. Makes no flippin sense. I feel really close with this girl I met an event two months ago; we have been grieving together for our lost loves. She actually left a guy around the same time Giovanni left 5 months ago. We both love our guys so much, and it's so nice to talk to someone who doesn't say "it's over, move on already"

Was at the new store today and it was SO exhausting. My feet hurt so bad from standing on them for 8 hours- there are no chairs in the store yet. Thank God I invested in some Skechers Slip-ons a month ago, they were $100 but they are totally worth it, they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned - perfect for this new location. I have had so much anxiety about how crazy busy this mall is and all the traffic around it, but I found a side street into the lower-level parking lot near one of the main entrances, which made things a lot easier. Traffic is total bananas when I get out at 6pm, but it's okay, it just reminds me of NYC all over again, lol. But all in all, it was a really exciting day at the new store. Can't wait for the Candle Studio to be built in the back so I can start teaching people how to make their own candles! It's going to be so much fun!

Symptoms wise I'm really good - it's been a month since I stopped taking my morning meds, and I'm functioning better than usual. That daytime sleepiness is virtually gone.

I went to blick and had a meltdown. I had to spend x on myself and I didn't know what to get. I finally got 2 sketch books, pastels, watercolor paper, pens, and a pencil. We went to 2 different places because there was no parking. The lots were $60 parking so we went out side the city. Traffic was crazy. I guess I'm going to color tomorrow. Gotta finish my nephew's picture.
