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 #27

Hello, hello, hello and happy Friday to you all!  I hope you've had a great last week of June and are kicking off July in grand fashion.  If you are, do share...I feel like I wouldn't know grand fashion if it bit me in the butt.  




We're trying to cram in all of the fringe shows we want to watch before our Discovery+ runs out.  (NO WAY am I paying for that full time.)  I watched that Laundry Guy show and I swear they will make a show about anything...and I will apparently fall for it.  I've got a lot of laundry detergent to go through before making any kind of switch but I'm hoping it will help with the white slipcovers I have to wash soon.  The first episode he's like "don't use dish soap to clean a stain, it's too aggressive."  Well, guess what I used to clean a stain a week prior to watching that.  Mmm hmm and yes, it's now made a lovely whiter circle.  So OxiClean, Castille Soap and some prayers are in order along with a drip dry.  

Let's dig into what we're putting in the pie hole this week.

It was so good last week, we had to have the lentil pasta with meatless meatballs again.


Workout was WATP 3 mile walk.

It was turkey taco Tuesday in these parts.


Workout was MBFA Full Body Strength.

Wednesday was General Tso's Shrimp with caulirice, pineapple and stir fry veggies.


Workout was walk around Grandma's cemetery.

Thursday was carrot noodle veggie stir fry with Thai sauce.


Workout was walk around closer cemetery until we almost caught fire from the sun.

Now let's catch...







The 30 Most Popular Fitness Icons of All Time (We still work out with some of them!)

31 Surprising Signs You'll Live to 100  (Interesting theories.)

How ‘Soft Fascination’ Helps Restore Your Tired Brain  (Mine needs all the help it can get)



25 Genius Ways to Fill Up an Awkward, Empty Corner  (A few good ideas.  A few people need to declutter though...yeesh!)



Why Are People Getting Worse at “The Price Is Right”?  (I've noticed that too when I used to watch.  Also, now the visuals are too flashy for me to be able to enjoy the show anymore.  I'm not watching the game show version of Candy Crush.)

Dave Grohl's Badass Lasagna  (This looks so good.  I think I would probably do the sauce in the crock pot.)


I don't think we've got plans this weekend.  I'm not sure if anyone has fireworks going on this weekend but we don't go to those anyway.  I think I'll see if there are some on YouTube or re-broadcasts of some big city's fireworks past if we feel like we have to get a fix.   We've got some grillin' fixin's so that'll be good- now if someone would just come fix it for me.

For my American friends, I hope you have a great (hopefully long) holiday weekend and for the rest of ya's just have a good weekend overall.  Be safe on all fronts if you gather with others!    

Any plans on your end this weekend?

  1. That Thai sauce is just so friggin' good, I highly recommend people try it. I too would like to see some fireworks even if its not necessarily live. Seemed like it took a long time to get through June. Not that I mind or anything but June really dragged on this year for me. Happy Independence Day to anyone who celebrates it!

  3. No plans other than working. Saturday shifts stink because they are 15 hours. Blech. The hubs actually gets Monday off so he'll finally have a 2-weekend! First since Memorial Day, but he does still work 8 hours tomorrow. Other than that it's going to be trying to keep one of the dogs calm with the fireworks. Have a great holiday weekend!
