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...
I read an article in the NY times about HIIT interval training but it also mentioned how people who have rest days show more progress, scientifically measured down to muscle fibers etc.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we need to incorporate them more for sure. Apparently one day a week isn't cutting it.
DeleteGlad you have at least a smidge. We'll take that. I think we do need to incorporate rest more often. We rarely give our bodies enough time to heal after the impacts so this should be a good week for us and should be something we practice a bit more often.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think that smidge might've rescinded a bit after doing that side lift and my feet were at that weird angle. So back to ultrasound and massage today. I've gotta try to get that spot in my arch to release. Stupid ass foot. If you'd told me I'd be this young and feeling so damn old, I wouldn't have believed you. :-\
DeleteI hope you get your foot issues worked out in time for your vacation.
ReplyDeleteBurgers last night. Trying to think of something for tonight. We don't really have much in the way of "vacation" spots - we get away for a weekend here and there, but hubby doesn't get much time off and if he uses a day here and there it really eats into it so we kind of have to make do with little mini-vacations. My favorite place is a little lake up in the mountains - we get a cabin and everyone else fishes and I read and look at the scenery. Something about all the green (instead of the dry, brown here) is just so soothing to me.
Mmm, burgers. That mountain retreat sounds like a good deal. It's good to be surrounded by green and get in that fresh mountain air!
DeleteI need a vacation too, yo! After all your posts about Hawaii, we've been thinking about going. Hopefully this year? Maybe? :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't getting a new mattress so fun? I bet you will sleep like a baby!
We had chili last night and I gotta say, I just love it with green onions. I use them in most of my crock pot dishes at the end and it really adds such a nice flavor and texture. My favorite place in the whole world is the NorthWoods of Wisconsin. I've been to Europe and on cruises and nothing compares to being in a lakehome for me. One of the pictures on my sp page shows a rainbow over the lake of the home we used to go to every year. I've never felt more peace than when I'm up there.
