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 #6

Happy Friday everyone!  Hope you're ready for the weekend.

Let's get right into...


What Does It Really Take to Get Back in Shape?  (Very good info especially if you're recovering from an injury like I am)

If You Stop Thinking Of Exercise As A Way To Lose Weight, You May Actually Enjoy It   (Interesting take and while I agree with most of it, I'll probably have a blog post on my thoughts on this)

Body clock disruptions occur years before memory loss in Alzheimer's  (Attention frequent nappers!)

3 Things to Do When You're Not Seeing Results  (Great article)

Are Essential Oils BS?  (Definitely, a must read for those considering using them.)

People Who Swear May Be Happier, Healthier And More Honest  (Then I will live forever.  I call swearing the "cayenne pepper" of my spicy vocabulary.)

Please Stop "Baking" Your Under Eye   (Unfortunately if you're 35+ you're going to want to stop with this.  I could get away with this when I was younger but now that skin shows EVERY bit of color I try to put on it.)

19 Free (or Cheap) Ways to Make Winter Hibernation Fun  (Some really good ideas!)

7 Things You Definitely Missed During Last Night's 'This Is Us' Episode  (This was after Jack's death episode and we were in Chicago when we watched with no way to rewatch it.  When I saw number 1, I broke down ugly crying trying to tell the Mr about it because I missed it.  Just stab me in the heart, Country Living.)

No real plans that I know of.  I do want to get the house back in order so everything is cleaned up but that shouldn't take long.   It's supposed to be a potential sloppy mess out there so not sure what's on the agenda.  Oh wait, it's grocery weekend.  Oy to the vey.

What are you guys up to this weekend?

    Hard to believe we are already 6 weeks into the new year but then I probably said that last year about this time. Happy Friday everybody, and enjoy your weekend!

    My plans are a bit up in the air depending on the snow overnight. I "may" go to my meeting if the roads are decent. I will definitely go for my mammogram. The hubs is working so I'll have the Olympics on (I'm a nerd and will watch every sport...curling -- love it)while I do some cleaning and laundry. Sunday will be grocery shopping if the roads are decent from more snow Sat. into Sun.

    The hubs called me late this afternoon and said someone had plowed our driveway! I'm pretty sure I know which neighbor it was because he did the mailboxes too, but I won't know for sure unless I can run into him. What a blessing that was! I think someone got a new snow blower because 4 driveways were done all by the same machine! LOL

    Have a great weekend and with any luck you'll get the snow we got here before it warms up for you (we're staying in the 20's next week while Chicago will be in the 40's...boo hiss!!)
