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 #3

Happy, happy Friday all!  I hope you've had a wonderful week and are looking to get into some mischief for the weekend!  We completed the first week of our Joel/Autumn hybrid.

Sun- 3 miler around the hood
Mon- 21DF Total Body Cardio/L4 wk4 Back and Bi's
Tues- 21DF Cardio Fix/L4 wk3 Chest and Tri's
Wed- 80DOb Booty (I've never cursed a trainer more)
Thurs- L4 wk 4 Shoulders/Abs
Fri-  L4 Legs

Le broken.

The Mr was in his final push this week for studying so that's always fun.  He took Thursday and Friday off to study so he's as ready as he can be.  Keep everything you have two of crossed for his test tomorrow!

Now let's test out...



This Is Why You Wake Up at the Same Time Every Night  (3:13am...like clockwork.)

Vigorous Exercise Can Greatly Reduce Your Risk of Cancer, Heart Disease  (Gotta love that!)

Stop Apologizing For Being Yourself  (I think I spend more time apologizing than just saying 'eff it.'   Something else I'm working on this year.)

If You Have a Slow Metabolism, Here Are 5 Doctor-Approved Ways to Burn Belly Fat  (So basically nothing new here anyone whose been trying to lose weight doesn't really know.  I've actually been diagnosed with it on my BodPod scans and it's maddening, to say the least.)

The Older You Are, the Less Narcissistic You Tend to Be  ("Tend to be" is the operative phrase.  I know a few who buck the trend.)

Why your debit card is the least secure way to pay for goods  (We don't even have one and you'd never catch me using it if we did especially these days.)

Too Much Stuff  (Getting rid of things, it turns out, is a lot harder than acquiring them in the first place.)

How to Let Go: Learning to Deal With Loss  (Not the way you think.  A must-read!)

An Ode to Middle Age  (A good read for both those who are there and those who aren't yet but need to be given the 'what's up' on what you're in for should you be lucky enough to get there.)

The Stowaway!  (Courtesy of the Mr.  I believe the phrase the stowaway is looking for is "hoooooly shit guys!!")

The Mr has his test tomorrow morning then I think our day is pretty open. 

How are you going to spend this glorious weekend?

  1. Best wishes to the Mr. on getting through his test and never having to deal with that aspect again!

    We have another storm coming starting this afternoon through tomorrow, so I'll be cancelling the meeting I have tomorrow morning since there will be ice. The hubs has a dental appt in the morning and it's in the neighborhood so he's comfortable driving there. I'll be working on house stuff and getting a box together for donations. Then I have to focus in on a workbook so that's my plan for the afternoon. Grocery shopping on Sunday, exercise, and that's about it. Rest for the hubs and reading for me.
    Have a super duper weekend!

  3. Thanks for the support! I am as ready as I think I can be but still have a full day of studying ahead. So looking forward to being done and then I plan to get Disney+ and binge the Mandalorian finally!

  4. I'd wish the Mr. luck but sounds like you've studied enough you don't need it. I suppose the alternative is to say "You got this!!!"

    After spending the holidays sick then heading out of town for a week, I need to get my decorations down then do some basic cleaning. The dogs tracked in a ton of mud and my hubby doesn't really see dirty floors until people are coming over.
