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 #33

Howdy do all!  Happy Friday!  Can you believe we're cruising into mid-August?  My Fall sensor is starting to kick in.  I'm hoping the La Nina they're leaning toward kicks in a little early because I'm ready for the sweat box weather to kick off for the year.

Now let's kick around...


This Is Your Brain on Exercise  (Better than your brain on drugs...cue over easy eggs.  High five for those who got the reference.)

What Really Happens to Your Body When You're Dehydrated   (All the things and they're not good.)

Obesity not defined by weight, says new Canada guideline  (As usual, our friends up north get it.)

A Secret Tip for Anger Management Success  (Tie your hands behind your back so you don't end up on YouTube?)

How to set up your bedroom for the best possible night’s sleep  (And if you still can't sleep...have the dude from Donkey Kong hit you with that sledgehammer.  Never mind, I don't think you're supposed to sleep with a concussion.)

8 Powerful Evening Habits That Will Prepare You For a Better Tomorrow  (Feed your unicorn high fiber so he'll be ready to ride in the morning.  Sorry, still feeling the effects of the sledgehammer theory above.)

How He or She Responds to a Boundary Is Telling  (Yes, it is.)

The 9 Most Important Things I Learned in Cooking School  (All good tips!)

36 S'mores Dessert Recipes for the Sweetest Summer/Fall Ever  (Don't mind if we do!)

This Couple Built an Entire English Pub in Their Friends' Backyard  (Now THIS is what every home needs!  Amazing!!)

The world's most beautiful small towns  (We've been to a few of these.  There's still a month of summer left, get out and safely explore!)

Be a Pen Pal to a Senior  (This campaign went viral about a month ago but I imagine letters are winding down.  If you'd like to make the day of a senior in a nursing home during this difficult time of isolation, click on their page and the address/info is in the caption of their picture.  Don't forget to check back around the holidays!  You can also do this locally by calling up and asking admins if they're willing to participate.)

We are tapping out online for the next few days which will be VERY nice.  I'm quite tired of looking at my screen and looking at him looking at his screens.  My eyes will be thankful for the break as well.

What's on tap for you guys this weekend?
