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...
Some wonderful food this week, thanks to you. I know I am very lucky to have someone who can make even healthier food taste soo amazing. Thank you!

DeleteI saw a creamy mushroom wild rice soup recipe (from Oh My Veggies I think) and made that. SUPER yummy. I could make soup every day. I was thinking of trying to make a ruben soup this weekend (or maybe fish tacos now that you mention it). We'll see how that goes. Thanks for sharing!
