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...

New kicks and alternate soundtrack

Today is our Friday.  Woot!  Gotta love an extended weekend!

Yesterday I got my new kicks  (affiliate link) 


I know...super boring to most.  Well I like it that way thankyaverymuch!  I hate these bright colored mesh pieces of crap that I have to pay $120 for and feel like I have zero support in the actual shoe.  I'm not a runner so I don't need my shoes to look like I am.  I did go up a half size because the length seems to be a little short and the toe box has plenty of room for my tootsies to spread out now.  I'll put 'em to the test this weekend.  I've gotta remember to move my old lady insoles into these.

Last night we were lazy and got downstairs late.  We did Power 90 original which meant it was done on mute.  I can't take Tony Horton and he knows this which is why the newer DVD's have a mute option on the actual menu!  Just for me.  :-)

So we put on our own cardio playlist to go along with it and works well.

Warm Up

The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Wish I - Jem

Cardio

Short Skirt, Long Jacket- Cake
Goodbye Horses- Q Lazzarus
Tongue Tied- Grouplove
Dreamin- Will to Power
Viva La Vida- Coldplay
Moves Like Jagger- Maroon 5
Helena Beat- Foster the People

The mix gave me that oomph to put my all into the workout and with the tightest hamstrings in the world after the previous night's workout, I needed all the help I could get.  We had some stuff to get done and by the time we got upstairs, it was late and we were starving.  It made me wish I'd done prep earlier but nope so we didn't eat until almost 9pm.  Ugh.

I had the Mr pick up a box of Emergen Zzz and I'll take that tonight so I can hopefully get a good, full night's sleep.

What are songs that get you movin'?  (Obviously they don't have to be current based on my list!)

    Nice new shoes there girl! I am glad we play that music with P90 and have him on mute the whole time because it's actually a much more effective workout that way.
    I had a bad nights sleep last night, could have used some of that emergen zzz myself but off to work I go, blah!

      Wow, it's crickets here today! Thanks for keeping me company! ;-)

      I love the new shoes. I hate wearing those mesh disasters especially in the winter when the cold blows right through them. Not good. I couldn't do P90 without some alternative music!
