Bet you think I am going to talk about the weather here in Michigan or this totally hot guy I met. NOPE. The "hot" I am referring to are "hot flashes". Yup, I think I am having hot flashes. According to my mother, they are not full blown hot flashes, otherwise my shirt would be drenched and I would have to put on a new one. I gotta tell ya, if they get much hotter, I may burst into flames!!
Let me describe the feeling to you and then you can see what you think. I was folding clothes in my living room, dressed in a tank top and shorts with my air conditioning cranking. My house was a cool seventy-two degrees. As I was folding, I felt this heat taking over my body, from the inside out. It starts from way inside and slowly burns its way out. I felt like if you touched me, you would yank your hand away as if I burned you. Even my eyeballs feel like they are red with heat, kind of like a new vampire in the "Twilight" series. It started with just that one, but now I am up to about two or three a day. Not liking the fact that I don't know when they are going to happen.
Know what else I don't like?? The fact that I am only 41 years old. I am waaaaaay to young to be having hot flashes. Does this mean I am going through menopause already?? Isn't it usually women over or around 50 who go through this?? What if I meet a man who sweeps me off my feet and wants to have one more child?? (hey, it could happen) Hot flashes while pregnant...not a pretty picture. Maybe I am getting ahead of myself here, maybe it's just a phase. Maybe they are a result of my increased intensity in working out or because the humidity affects me differently as I age. Maybe...oh, who am I kidding????

Ummmmmmm........
Well, we can see how well that plan worked :) It is now June and I posted for a whole 2 days!!
I admit, I am a little disappointed in myself. Was hoping that was the way back to healthy eating and continued exercise. Gotta say though, I have been exercising on a regular basis, my team kicked butt on a work challenge. My struggle continues to be the eating.
I have made a change in my eating habits, I thought for the good (still do), but it's not working out the way I had planned. I gave up meat. Wish I could say I did it to save the animals, but honestly, I did it because I don't like meat anymore. (you thought I was going to say it was to lose weight) I was hoping to see some pound droppage as a result, but what I have discovered is I am supplementing my lack of meat with chips, cookies, and candy (sour patch kids). Not good!!
But alas, summer is here!! I ALWAYS do better in the summer months. I exercise almost daily and enjoy it a lot more because I can work out in the morning. I eat better because there is a better choice of fresh fruits and when it's hot out, I don't eat as much. I expect to see some change for the better this summer.
If not...ummmmm.....
