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 am ready for fall but, like you, I want it to be a seasonal fall for a change. I am ready for cooler nights and warm days with cool breezes and low humidity. That cross-stitch pumpkin (I think that is how to describe it) takes me back too. My Mom would make cross-stitch items all the time. I remember when I was really big into Pac Man she made me a Pac Man cross-stitch key-chain thing. I didn't have any keys at 9 years old but I still thought it was awesome... Hmmm, where is that thing? I have tons of keys now!
ReplyDeleteIt's been so much cooler here this last week, and nights have cooled off nicely for comfortable sleeping. It's supposed to be hotter again next week, but the daytime temperatures don't matter so much to me now since I'll be at work with A/C, as long as it cools down overnight I'm good.
ReplyDeleteI don't do much seasonal decoration. I don't do much decoration at all really and my place is pretty bland. I always see such cute things but can never figure out where they'd look good or where I could store them in the off season.
Everyone of these is darn adorable! I'm sooooooo ready for Fall! August is usually my least favorite month for the summer (probably because school always started at the end of the month) so I'm thrilled to see the calendar turn over to September. Today is a gorgeous day out with the humidity gone, but I'd be happy for it to be a good 10 degrees cooler (selfish of me, I know). I've noticed a few leaves already starting to turn and I have a feeling with all the rain we've gotten that the fall colors are going to be superb this year. At least I hope so!
ReplyDeleteSo ready to decorate . I love cute scarr crows and straw people.
ReplyDeleteYep, in fact I was so ready, I went ahead and decorated today. We're having the family out tonight for hub's late birthday dinner, and tomorrow IS Sept. 1. I figured close enough. LOVE FALL!
