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...

Hump Day Poll: Thanksgiving Pivot

(Homegirl's like "screw it, more pie for me this year!  Plates optional!"  Source)

Many of us are pivoting this Thanksgiving so that leads me to wonder:

What, if anything, is changing about your menu this year?  Still preparing it yourself?  Are you doing takeout from a restaurant?  Doing a Thanksgiving to go type deal from a restaurant or grocery store?

It's just the Mr and I and we'll be eating exactly what we eat every Thanksgiving and thankfully we won't have to worry about someone bringing the wrong rolls because I secured those bad boys a week ago.  Nothing will be different except not having to rush around, not having to pick a spot so people I don't want near me won't sit by me, and no awkward silences or not have to endure snippiness when someone inevitably irritates someone else.  So I'm pretty stoked about taking a 'break year' if even I'm not happy about the reason why.  Maybe it'll make future gatherings a little more mellow.

    No guests this year, just me and Mom. I'm making the same as always. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    Had a tooth extraction today so more mashed potatoes and stuffing for me and less turkey but otherwise looking forward to a quieter day and some snuggle time in front of the fireplace. We have a 1-hour family conference call scheduled for early evening to say hi - and that will probably be just enough for me. Happy Thanksgiving!

    For the first time we are ordering to-go Thanksgiving dinners from a local restaurant. I found out last week another local (my favorite place) was also doing them and cooking in the 100 yr old ovens... RATS! Didn't hear about that until we placed this order but that's okay. It's still local and we are grateful to not have to cook during this insane time with our hours. Even better...no dishes. LOL
    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving day without any of the family dramas that ensue with humans!

    Honestly I am looking forward to this one. I know it is just us but I have had to put up with drama from extended family at Thanksgiving my entire life and this is a break. Now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't wish this on everybody every year - but I am going to enjoy a totally drama free Thanksgiving for once in my life and I am happy about that! Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Let's Eat!
