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...

What I'm Reading This Week #23

It's finally Friday y'all!  Are ya ready for the weekend?  We are!

Let's get right to...





Been There, Ate That: Experimenting With Different Nutrition Protocols  (Interesting)

11 Foods That Are Loaded With Potassium (Besides Bananas)  (Eat up!)

Charcoal Grill Anything With This Visual Guide  (I'm printing this out!  Oh, I should probably get a charcoal grill first)

Are Steel-Cut Oats That Much Healthier Than Rolled Oats?  (When mine run out, I'm going back to the old ones.  Not a fan of steel cut)

More on detoxification and smart lifestyle choices  (A rare health article from the Garden Isle)

Read this before you lug home that jackfruit  (We were just looking at these at the Asian market last weekend!  Good info!)

The 12 Best and Worst Sugar Substitutes  (Really great breakdown of them all)

Take Your Workout to the Beach With These Running Tips  (Take 'em into consideration if you're into making the sand work for you)

Get Your Roll On – What, Why, And How You Should Foam Roll  (I desperately need to roll.  My legs are so screwed up from the few times I wore flip flops on the trip.)

16 People Confess: What They Saw at a Wedding That Convinced Them the Marriage Would End in Divorce  (Holy crap!)

9 Things You Do That Make You Less Likeable  (#4 will get you a big fat sigh, eye roll and ask you if you'd like to be somewhere else and if so, go there.)

How Much Does Everyone Working on a Blockbuster Movie Get Paid?  (Pretty cool to see.  Courtesy of the Mr.)

Living With The Ghost Of ‘Six Feet Under’  (EXCELLENT read for SFU fans.  In the middle of season 2 on our "re-education."  Every time we re-watch it, usually every 2 years, we learn something else.  There will never be another show like it.)

I don't think we have any concrete plans this weekend other than trying not to melt.  It's supposed to be swamp ass hot and I have no intent of partaking in that shizz.  I do want to get to the farmers market as soon as they open and I'm hoping it's not a stagnant morning so it's at least tolerable.  It's in a self righteous part of town so I need to get in and out before my lack of filter gets me in trouble.  Me + heat + obnoxious turds could = jail.

It's also grocery weekend so I need to take care of that.  I did a test recipe the other night and couldn't stop smiling so I think ahi will be on the list.

What are you guys into this weekend?

  2. As always, I love your Friday line-up! The potassium foods was good timing for me because I have to limit my potassium....I never realized what a big deal it is to have too much potassium in your blood. Kind of scary. Enjoy the Farmer's Market and have a great weekend!

    1. I hope everything is okay! I know when my FIL was on dialysis, he had to limit potassium and they gave him a poster to hang on the fridge saying DON'T eat these! I was surprised how much stuff had so much of it!
