It would have been a perfect day - minus 2 and sunny. My consolation will be a few hours a Cypress this afternoon which should be just as good conditions. http://www.cypressmountain.com/index.asp
I missed three or four hours sleep last night again and am working full time this week so could not get up at 5 a.m. to get a ride to Whistler. It is not pleasant when your body lets you down.
Hormone conditions apparently cause the temperature changes that keep you awake at night. Yet the medication to reduce this has huge risks. Seems to be way too risky.
Holistic practitioners tell us that our bodies have a natural tendency toward health but we are standing in the way of this by poor choices of diet and exercise and balance. It sounds really good in theory, and I know that it must be a continuing work in process, but in practice, it is a slow and sometimes unrewarding approach.
I go to Weight Watchers each week. We have a new program - no more core foods - it is all flex points. We are told that our bodies require the same volume of food to feel satiated each day. If we make low calorie, low glycemic choices, we will lose weight. See www.SmartEmpowered.com for a list of these foods. It is all about knowing when you have had just enough food to feel satisfied. I know this works well when you don't let yourself get too hungry but is impossible to do when you sit down to eat when you are famished. The trick is to avoid grazing but to eat often enough to avoid getting too hungry. I guess that is where balance comes in. www.weightwatchers.ca/
And if our fat cells store estrogen, and we are reducing, eliminating our fat cells when we diet, why doesn't that estrogen supply our deficiencies. If our bodies are so good at reaching balance, why isn't that estrogen grabbed before it is excreted.
I need to get out and enjoy our rare sunshine on the west coast this year. Today I am practicing inserting links. My next project will be photos.
