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...

Friday Food Journal 6/17-22

Man this week has gone kinda fast! I'm in a good mood because our Hawaii trip is booked for next year and now we just have to start saving for it!  HA!  But you came by to see the eats so...altogether now...let's eat!

Sunday was Pesto Chicken Mexican Naan Pizza and steamed brussels sprouts.  It was quite yummy!  Calories: 688


Monday we had a friend over for dinner and I made my Spicy Mexican Stuffed Shells which she loved and rainbow salad.  I cheated and used frozen corn.  It was still good but I'll be using fresh corn from now on.  Calories: 750


Tuesday I took 3 oz of the leftover "guts" from the shells and used it to make a quesadilla.  I added spinach and a little cheddar with caramelized onions and a side of rainbow salad.  Calories:  624


Wednesday was a quick dinner.  Pacific Crab Stuffed Flounder and grilled asparagus with 1/2 slice of bacon, basil, scallions and asiago sprinkled on top.  Calories:  382


Thursday was a quickie too.  Salmon burger with 1 tbsp of teriyaki glaze and a side of brussels sprouts with bacon.  Calories:  343


Tonight was fish tacos with broccoli slaw and some fresh dill and cilantro from the garden to mix it up and little and the last of the rainbow salad.  Calories:  586

I hate to report and run but I hear the Mr just paused the movie and is getting irritated for me to come and join him watching The Game.  (affiliate link)  Haven't seen that in forever.  Okay, gotta run but feel free to leave any inspiring eats you had this week in the comments!

Have a great weekend!
