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...

Lethal cookies and on the mend

Howdy do all!

I accidentally slept in yesterday.  I heard the Mr get up and the next thing I knew, I was selling Girl Scout cookies to Riggs and Murtaugh telling them I made six figures only working three months out of the year.  If only!



But I will take that dream over the one the day before anytime, thankyouverymuch!

I went to the chiro yesterday and he said while he still feels adhesions, the shoulder is beginning to heal.  I can add back in small amounts of upper body but absolutely no flies because it could set me back.  The Mr went later in the day and he was told he's pretty much cleared to his own comfort level.  That actually kind of surprised me because his range of motion is still pretty crappy.  I go back in a week and he goes back in two weeks.

We did lower body and HIIT last night and I threw in a few bicep curls to test the waters and I did okay.  I was still a bit on the tight side a few hours later but he said doing the cross friction massage he does on me will help break things up in there.  I was just glad to see I could do push ups off the knees because a few weeks ago that would've hurt.  I knew enough that when I saw walk downs as one of the exercises, I had to do something else in its place.  I must say, I'm really itching to get back into some good upper body but I'm not going to jeopardize my healing process so I'll have to bide my time.

Dinner was homemade Chinese food that I was so excited to eat I forgot to take a picture of it.  Oops!  After that we took care of some business stuff then had the battle rounds of The Voice on in the background.

Pretty low key on our end!

Have you imbibed in Girl Scout cookies this season like Riggs and Murtaugh?  If so, what are your faves?

    Now that is a funny subject for a dream. The thing is, I could totally see those guys buying girl scout cookies in a funny way in just about any of the Lethal Weapon movies.

    Just like you said the other day, I kind of wish they would sell the cookies by the sleeve. I just want a few Thin Mints and I'd be satisfied. I don't need a whole box!

    Thin mints, Samoas, and Tagalongs. Those have always been my favorites, and probably always will be. I did buy some this year, but they're in the freezer to be doled out through the year. The boxes seem to have gotten smaller, so who knows - maybe at some point they will be selling a sleeve as a box.

    I've gotten no dang cookies this year! Since I'm currently not working, I haven't been around anybody selling them. My all-time favorite is Thin Mints (especially straight out of the freezer). I also like the peanut butter ones that are like a puffy patty covered in chocolate. And as gross as most people thing, I love the lemon cookies! Lemon poundcake, cookies, you name it and I like it. But Thin Mints are the bomb diggity and sadly, I can eat an entire box without blinking in about 20 minutes.
