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: Whatchu Need for Zzz's?





1 and 4 for me.

  3. No TV or music. I can fall asleep with it but get annoyed if I wake up to it lol

  4. My closest would be #5. There is never complete silence. I can hear the dog cleaning his paws, my partner breathing loudly, the forced air furnace kicking in in the winter or the ceiling fan in the summer. If I'm having trouble sleeping then I will ask the google home to play thunder storm sounds for about 30 minutes. That normally does it.
