Did Statins Help?

Pardon if this is riddled with typos but it's 2:30am.

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...

What I'm Reading This Week 2016 #6

We spent all day yesterday thinking it was Friday...which means today is supposed to be Saturday, dammit!  Sigh.

You can bet after last Saturday that we will be coming up with a list of potential things to do and places to eat so we can see what sounds good when we wake up.  It's supposed to be like...10 degrees.  TEN.  So being outside for any extended period of time is out.  I'm sure we'll find something to get into.

What are you guys doing this weekend?

  1. Going right for that Triumph link first and then of course I have to see what that one about the weightlifting vagina is too. Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Valentine's Day to the love of my life!

  2. Haha, as a Canadian reader I sometimes just have to laugh when 10 (Fahrenheit, I am assuming) is reason to stay indoors. When it's -13 Fahrenheit, (-25 Celsius) that's when I start deciding whether or not I'll go for my outdoor jog, anything warmer than that is fine by me. Happy Valentine's Day to the pair of you, stay warm!
