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.

Click here to commence dance party.

Now that we've gotten in a little cardio, let's booty pop into...

Anything fun planned for the weekend?

    I look forward to reading these links later today when I get home. The weather has FINALLY changed for the better so I'm looking forward to getting out and about with the dogs. The hubs is working tomorrow so I'm going to go grocery shopping after my meeting (I love getting it done early whereas he likes a later start) so I'll be thrilled to have that done with to kick off the weekend. Windows will be open and cleaning will commence (because it's a disaster in here). Enjoy your weekend and don't forget to drink that water!! xoxo
