Getting Ready

Menopause.  There, I said it.  It hasn't happened yet, but it's on its way.  I mean, I'm in the right age group and there are some months I wonder if my flightiness of mood or sudden lack of energy are symptoms of menopause.  'Is this it?' I wonder.  I joke with my husband and remind him that he needs to keep his sense of humor when "the change" comes.  I've heard some stories of women getting quite kooky when their hormones are completely changing so I'm bracing myself (and him too).

I'm not sure what I'm going to take when menopause shows it's pretty face, or better yet sweaty face from hot flashes.  The women in my family have taken different routes along the way, trying to find what works.  What's the treatment this month?  Why is it so difficult to find the magic potion?

In my arsenal of "being prepared for anything" I have a file of sites that share good information.  The website Amberen has an excellent video with clear explanations of whats going on in our bodies.  Very helpful.  They offer a 30 day free trial of their product and claim that 92.6 percent of women who have tried Amberen have chosen to purchase the product.

I don't want menopause to be a big deal.  I really don't.  I just want to find something that will put me on an even keel (have I ever been "even"? ;-> ) and get on with my life.  If you are in the market for menopause relief visit www.amberen.com.  You may "Follow" Amberen for deals on Twitter.  You can also "Like" Amberen on Facebook for special deals.  Information is a good thing.  I hope this helps.

Miss Poodle Perm, That's Me!

Jill of Scary Mommy is doing a linky post about school pictures. You know the ones, possibly you didn't smile a sweet smile, just the smirk of panic. Or you didn't know it was picture day because you had been out sick for a week and you show up in your most comfortable shirt and bed-head. (Yep. That happened to me. The smile was good though!) Well, my scanner isn't working or else I would post a particular picture from Freshman year. Since I don't have a visual, here's the story: I remember my first day of High School. Actually what I remember is the picture taken of me leaving for my first day of High School. I'm wearing a brave smile, but the hair, the hair , my hair style was a nightmare. My two best friends and I were going to be attending a High School out of our district. That was stressful enough. To add to this new-ness we wanted new looks as well. K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

My Questions Answered By Chef Pati Jinich - Video

Rob and I have been focusing on finding foods and spices that will help us take some weight off.  I've been slightly obsessed with staying on my exercise track (on week 8 now :->) and hope to get rid of this jiggly belly that has become wa-a-a-ay too comfortable on my body.  The older you get the harder it is to lose weight.  What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting?  Do your crunches and planks now!  7 years from now it's going to get ugly !' I've found that spices cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and turmeric are noted to increase metabolism.  ( Yes please !)  After a good workout coconut water is more beneficial in regulating your electrolytes, and lower in calories, than sports drinks.  It also contains more potassium than other drinks which is an important component in helping to build muscle which, in turn, helps you burn more calories. And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
