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 still love those ornament truffles. They are quite yummy but I also got the chance to see them go from an idea on a post-it note to seeing them in "print" to getting to eat them. And don't even get me started on those gingersnap truffles and those eggnog cookies. Mmmmmm. Hard to choose a favorite in all of these.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this! It's going to save me time looking for the ones I want to make. I need to just print the ones I want so I have them in my holiday recipes book. You know, that cookbook of favorite holiday recipes that I keep meaning to put together. Yeah, that one.
ReplyDeleteWow--all those pictures look great. I am especially intrigued by those ginger truffles. I love ginger cookies (can you say Biscoff?) I also really like the "less than 30-minutes" part. Can't wait!!! Thanks too for the links to great recipes from Christmases past!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you for this post! We are going to have a snow storm this weekend and it will perfect to try out some of your recipes!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your recipes! I am babysitting today and hopefully getting the holiday cards done.
