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 #23

I've got a secret to tell you.  Don't go spreading this around or anything because it might cause mass hysteria if it got out but...

*looks both ways*

It's Friiiiiiidaaaayyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!

I know, I'm a dork.

It's been a glorious week weather wise and that all basically changes today.  So I guess I'm relieved we've got a new A/C system that we can properly break in with a little more energy efficiency.  We so lucked out that with the windows open it was 69 degrees when they started working.  I actually had to make us some hot tea to warm up!

But enough of our home improvement adventures, let's get to...

I don't think we have any specific plans for the weekend.  I got a memorial flag for Grandma's grave so we'll go put that up but other than that, we're open.  I suppose it'll depend on how stinking hot it's going to be which at this point looks pretty stinkin'.

What are your weekend plans?

  1. Happy Weekend! Mine looks to have me leading a meeting tomorrow morning, going to the bank to sign papers dealing with the fraud on my account and activating my new card, grocery shopping, laundry, and house stuff. The hubs has to work on Sunday so I may cut the lawn that day if it grows (kind of dormant right now). One pooch is at the groomers now before I head in to work. The other one goes on Monday for her bath and mani/pedi. LOL

    Have a great weekend and enjoy that a/c!!
