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...

Howdy, Y'all!  It's finally Friday!  I'm ready for the weekend as I'm sure you are too!

So let's slip n' slide into...

 Bucket list: 50 things to do in the U.S. this Fall  (Ready...set...go!)

I mentioned last night that the Harvest Festival was going on in Sharon Springs, NY this weekend to the Mr and asked if he wanted to go.  Got a look of horror, then an "if you want to."  I really do. Probably not.  Maybe next year?

Whatch'all into this weekend?

    TGIF! Considering those post-holiday weeks can sometimes seem longer, this one felt about right and I'm looking forward to the weekend. Have a great weekend everybody!

    I'm definitely ready for the weekend. I've been fighting a cold all week, and even went to the doctor. I've got meds on board and am finally feeling better - but my grading and house have gotten way out of control so I have a lot to catch up on. Ugh. Also have a parade and festival thing in town tomorrow that I'd like to skip, but the boy wants to go so we'll go.

    Have a great weekend!

    I'll be spending this weekend doing some birthday/anniversary shopping for the hubs. Plus laundry, and if I'm so inclined, I'd like to try a new soup, maybe a beef/barley type of deal. So lots and lots of errands. Oh yeah, and college football of course tomorrow. Oh yeah, and pro football. Well, hell. Now I need to rethink my timing and get my tookus up earlier and out the door! LOL

    Have a super duper weekend!
