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 #28

It's finally Friday, all!  I hope you've had a good week and have some top rate shenanigans on tap for your weekend!  It's been a long, emotional week here.  The first of many irritations with our healthcare system that seems to fail people at every turn.  I'm surprised at this point they don't just expect people to schedule their own appointments then scan and diagnose themselves.  Anyhoo.  It's so hot out.  We did one walk Monday and it was disgusting.  My skin felt like it was on fire for a good 90 minutes after despite sunscreen.  Is it Fall yet?  Not the beginning of it either, like November like Fall when temps actually start to dip.  

Now let's dip into:




New Research Says Exercising Without Enough Sleep Diminishes Workout Benefits  (I really don't know how to change this.  I have been a 5-6 hour sleeper my entire life.  Melatonin is a hard no because I feel groggy the next day.  Sigh.)

Dietitians Caution Against 'What I Eat In A Day' Videos  (It's nice for inspiration but not much more than that.)

10 Toxically Positive Statements That Hurt Your Mental Health  (Yeah, these are some pretty flick-worthy statements and I have a feeling we're going to be hearing a lot more of them soon.)


Are Granite Countertops Outdated?  (ROFL...they said 'look like meat.')



The Breakfast Club Deleted Scenes - Part 1  (Stumbled on this in our feed and a must watch for any fan of the movie.  Very interesting what was cut and Carl was particularly brutal to the kids midway through.)

The Breakfast Club Deleted Scenes Part 2  (I always find these so interesting to see if we agree with what the director cut or not!)

I don't feel like we can really make plans for anything right now yet I also feel like there's nothing we can do so I'm just in this weird numb limbo while we wait for any answers.  I've researched myself into vertigo so I guess we'll just see where the next few days take us.  

Where are the next few days taking you?  Anything planned?

    No plans and you're right, just going where they days take us for now. We will just try to enjoy any little pockets of time we can get to ourselves and recharge together.

      Thank you so much for all you've done for both of us already. I would never make it without you.

    I hope you have as relaxing a weekend as possible. Hopefully with some answers as well.
    Hubs did the grocery shopping today because I have a gastro appt to go to in a little bit and I'm finishing up at work. No great shakes this weekend other than laundry, cleaning, helping someone tomorrow night, and church on Sunday.
