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...
Long before pumpkin spice was a movement I loved pumpkin cookies. Then you made chocolate chip pumpkin brookies and I am hooked. When can I get more? :-)
ReplyDeleteWarm soups with buttered toast! I also love a good roasted veggie tray :)
ReplyDeleteI'll put in a 2nd vote for warm soup: tomato, butternut squash, roasted corn. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThere's only one place I like for apple cider donuts, so that's first on my list. Vegetable beef soup, banana bread, pumpkin bread, and cranberry bread are a must too.
ReplyDeleteThat Cathy cartoon is pretty much spot on.
ReplyDeletePotato soup and chili are two of my fall/winter favorites. I love grilled cheese, but since I have it so often on summer break I think of it as more of a summer food than a fall food.
I'm a fan of pumpkin spice, but they have taken it way too far. When I saw "pumpkin spice ham" at the deli last year I was done.
