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...

    Happy New Year you two! I have enjoyed starting my days with you. We started a new tradition of going to my friend's house in the city for New Years. We make filets on the grill, drink a little wine and play games. Usually in bed way before midnight!

    Happy New Year! I've never been a big celebrator for this holiday, so I'm not sure what I would do. Maybe, if money were no object and things were different in my life, I'd be up in the Northwoods in a cabin somewhere with access to a snowmobile since that's the only way to get around. One year I actually started getting my taxes prepared. Yep, I'm a total dork. 'Sup Nerd.... snort!!!!
