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: When I Found Out


When did you find out?

This can be anything and preferably before you were out on your own but you don't have to have been a little kid.  

Here's my example:

I came across one of those keychains you'd get at amusement parks back in the day where they'd take your pic as you came in for the day all full of hope and money.  You look through the little hole and see your picture negative in the back.

Well, the one I found was me with four friends (one I have no clue who she was) and it reminded me that before we left for the day, we did one of those star trax deals where you record a popular song to the original music and they give you a cassette for like $30.  I sang lead on The Flame by Cheap Trick.  That was the day I found out I was tone deaf and after listening to it in the car, I pulled the tape from the spool and said "we never speak of this again."

When did you find out what you found out?

    I believe I was 8 or 9 years old out in California at Knott's Berry Farm and enjoying those cars that you "drive" (open, old fashioned-looking cars). I remember being so proud of myself because I was actually driving and I was sitting up tall and proud with a big smile on my face...only to discover that the cars were on a rail, therefore you couldn't have veered off if you tried. To this day I can remember feeling so deflated when I realized the car was on a track, that I sat there slumped in the driver's seat and didn't even keep my hands on the wheel at that point. It ruined my whole day after that.

    I used to listen to this one DJ as a kid, I was maybe 7 or 8, and I had a small radio that had a speaker that sometimes would go bad at the most inopportune times. One day out of the blue I decided to just take the thing apart and see if I could fix it. I didn't fix it... but I also didn't totally break it. I put it all back together and it still worked, I just didn't know that the speaker needed a new solder and I was too young to realize that yet. But what I did realize was that I was not afraid to jump into anything electronic and see what I could do with it. That serves me well to this day.
