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.

What I'm Reading This Week #35

Happy Friday to you all!  I hope you've had a nice week and are ready to rest and relaxate and such.  

Last night was our final meal to cook together for the week and it was dang good.

(Scallion chicken with lemon rice and a side salad with homemade vinaigrette.)


We're celebrating my birthday this weekend since it falls in the middle of the week so that'll be nice.  I'm super glad it's the last weekend of August because I'm praying a little let up in temps will be on the horizon at some point next month.

Now let's celebrate...

5 Powerful Mindset Shifts to Stop Worrying About What Other People Think  (Tell 'em to eff off.  Whoops...I typed that.)

30 Showstopping Thanksgiving Sides That'll Steal the Turkey's Thunder  (Yep, already going  there.  Bookmark 'em Dano!)

30 Romantic Fall Date Ideas That Go Beyond the Pumpkin Patch  (But pumpkin patches are good too especially if they're most sincere.)

I'm presuming breaking out some Fall decor is in my future because I'm READY.  NOW.  Other than that, birthday cake and schtuff.

Got any plans this last weekend of August?

    Have a fantastic birthday celebration!!!!!

    I have the usual on tap, and am just looking forward to the cold front that's supposed to come through today which will have temps at 78 - 80 degrees this weekend. That's all I can hang my hat on right now. LOL
