Not surprisingly, I'm feeling pretty much NORMAL again since I stopped taking the Rosuvastatin. Almost like a miracle, and I mean not even any anxiety either. Needless to say, those statins are horrible drugs, and I will NOT take another, ever. I've pretty much completely changed my diet and I like it. I usually start the day with a smoothie, and that always starts with a banana, and then a second fruit, usually strawberries, or mixed berries, frozen, fill mixer jug to cover that with vanilla almond milk, some whey protein, chia seeds, cinnamon, dash of nutmeg, Madhava sweetner, a sugar alternative, couple chunks of ice and then let the Ninja do it's work. Can't believe how good they taste and still be so healthy.
Been cold up nort' here too in Wisconsin, but, it is January, and the 20th to the 24th of Jan are statistically the coldest days of the year, and we're right in the middle of it. After the 24th is starts to warm up. The sun has been gaining quite a bit of time and it starts to heat things back up.
So the only thing I'm missing right now is that new truck. Couple more weeks and it should be built. But that's no guarantee I'll get it soon either because it could sit around for another couple weeks waiting on a truck to haul it here. It could very easily be 7 MONTHS since I ordered it before I get it, so the "excitement" of getting it has kinda been dashed by the long wait. I still want it, but I'm not going to do cartwheels when it shows up. I'll be more like... ABOUT F'IN TIME.
I fully agree on the statins. They put me on those things after my heart attack in 2014. I didn't have high cholesteral, or high blood pressure. It was the stress of my marriage breakup. I asked my cardiologist to take me off them. Since I wasn't overweight, and all my blood numbers were excellent, he agreed. I feel so much better of them than I did when I was taking them.
I also like smoothies for breakfast. I put a handful of raw spinach in with the fruit. Great nutrition and you can't taste it all. If I'm going for a morning swim, they provide great energy without being to too heavy or making you sluggish.
Good luck with the truck. I'd be tearing my hair out by now. I am not a patient person.
