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 #24

Hello, hello, hello and happy Friday all!  We made it to the end of another week so high five yourself for that one!  It's been nice catching up with SP people this week.  I'm glad we were given the opportunity to say goodbye to the people who still have active pages.  It breaks my heart a little to see those long deactivated pages especially after beginning the process of copying the comments on my page.  Definitely a moment in time.  

No pics of dinners this week so let's get to...


Sparkpeople's statement about closing



Low-Carb Cauliflower Fried Rice and 8 More Creative Ways to Add Veggies to Your Favorite Meals (You guys know I use cauli-rice all the time for our homemade Chinese meals.)

7 Things to Never Say to Someone With Obesity (Soooo many opinions, none of which I want to say because...yeah, not up for potential debates.  😆)

The 4 best ways to stop phone spam, scams, and robocalls  (We get more spam calls than actual calls but I don't want to answer people I do know much less those I don't.)

Stop Being So Hard on Yourself  (Easier said than done.  I hear ya, Ben.  Me too.)

Chronic Indecisiveness: Between a Rock and a Hard Place (I'm sure I don't know what they mean.)



How to Keep Your Plants Alive When You're on Vacation  (Might test out the wine trick while we're home to see how long that truly takes to empty.)

No plans for the weekend.  I do want to get out for a drive or something.  It's been raining all week so that's going to make for a wall of humidity this weekend.  Bleh.  I guess on the upside, maybe my vining plants will start getting a move on.  I'm anxious for the jasmine and wisteria to get to the top of the arbor!

Anything fun planned for the weekend?

  2. Have a great weekend! No plans here either. Just looking forward to a little drive to get out of the house wherever we can as well.

  3. Staying indoors out of the heat is the main priority. Took the dogs for a drive after I got home from work and they'll get their doggie ice cream later this afternoon. Today I'll do laundry and rest my knee as much as possible. Down seven days of work, four more to go. I'm in the home stretch! LOL
    Have a great (and cool!) weekend!
