You Won't Bee-lieve What Worked for Me

source You know how women older than you would always say "just you wait" referring to menopause?  (Heck, perimenopause wasn't even discussed or considered real 20+ years ago!) "Wait for what?" you wondered. Eluding that it was so much more than hot flashes but never telling you what that was.  Well I'm here to warn you up and comers what one of those things is...pit stank.  That's a big one they don't warn you about with fluctuating hormones in your 30's-50's depending on when perimenopause hits you.   They don't tell you how your tried and true deodorant  will fail you within hours if you're lucky and will need to be reapplied.  Don't even bother with the clinical versions that used to work for you because the hormonal hellscape that has become your body now laughs at them.  Natural deodorants you used to use on light loafing around the house days?   source Because you still want people in your household to want to sit near y...

Alternative Workouts

How do I feel this fine Monday morn?  Like a big dog mistook me for his chew toy, shook me for a good 2 hours in play, dropped me, wee’d on me and left me in the toy pile.  Our alternate workout last night?  Painting the bedroom.  Oh. My. Lord.  Now I remember being sore when we painted the living room but I wasn’t in as good of shape then.   But apparently I am using muscles I rarely use doing this because I am just completely exhausted.  We painted for about 8 hours (not straight) and I decided to strap on the heart rate monitor about 30 minutes in.  I burned 2160 calories!  Yeah, way more than the traditional workout we had planned.  If it didn’t burn that much, I was going to take a break so we could go down and do our strength but given the way my arms feel today I did WAY more strength!  Even the front of my ankles hurt from tippy toeing to reach up at the ceiling stuff.  So the next time you’re doing something out of the ordinary that you aren’t sure is a calorie burner, strap on your heart rate monitor and you might just be surprised!
