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...

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

I feel it my duty as a self-designated Fall freak to get you all well prepared for the arrival of Autumn tomorrow afternoon with this bowl of deliciousness to start off your day.



What you'll need:
Oats (or plain quinoa if you prefer but it should be pre-cooked)
Milk
Pumpkin Butter
Cardamom or Pumpkin Spice
Walnuts

Measure out one serving of rolled oats.


Add 4 ounces of milk.


Give it a spin around the turntable in the microwave for 1 minute.

Add 2 tbsp of pumpkin butter.


Give it a mix, add a pinch of cardamom or your favorite Fall spice and stir.


Top it with half a serving of walnuts or pecans (15g) and pair it with a cup of salted caramel tea and you are officially ready to usher in the new season!


Now bring on the sweatshirts, fuzzy socks, cuddling under a blankie on a crisp night and blazing red, yellow and orange on the trees!



What's your favorite thing about Fall?

  1. I have had this oatmeal as well as the tea and can vouch for both being extremely yummy. Do yourselves a favor and have them for breakfast!

  2. That sounds yummy. I love Halloween, all things pumpkin, and potato soup which I always make the first really cold day of fall.

  3. My favorite thing about fall strolling in a park or driving through the country surrounded by all the changing colors. There's a somberness to this time of year and I love the quietness that comes with it.
