Freezing Cold

Alright peeps, I'm here for your help. I usually a very cold person and I'm not talking about my personality. What I mean, is that even if a room is at 70 degrees, I'm still chilled. My toes and fingers get the worst of it.

Matt learned this quickly about me and he also noticed that when I'm cold I'm not a very pleasant person. My Christmas gifts last year included a snuggie, an personal space heater, and a down blanket. I guess he likes his woman happy!

Anyway, my latest problem is that after I work out and come back to my apartment to cool down I get really cold. Like teeth-chattering, body shivering-ly cold. I'm not quite sure why this is but I don't like it.


Any recommendations?? Does this happen to any of you?

I get cold but not teeth-chattering. I know this doesn't sound pleasant when you are warm but take a Semi Warm shower. Its not super hot but it helps get the sweat of and then you will probably turn up the heat as your in there. Just gets your temperature working and your body. I hope that helps.

Hmmm, that's interesting, because after a workout, the blood should be moving and coursing around and that should warm you up. I remember reading about this in Self Magazine.

If it's nothing that too serious, I remember reading that strength training to build muscles should help out. Since muscle use more energy to maintain, the metabolism should increase your body temperature (or something like that!).

I am the same, my last boyfriend used to joke about how I could lower the average temperature in the room and help to fight global warming..

My recommendation is lots of snuggling up to your man! If you are still cold - you probably won't care about it ;)

Have you considered Anemia as a possibility? I dont know if you've had any bloodwork done, but supposedly Anemics get extremely cold...

I am hot for about 15 minutes, then I do the same thing. I haven't lost near as much weight as you. Maybe you should ask your doctor to be safe. Maybe we are anemic. Who knew?

Hello World.

That is usually the title of the first blog post you get when you start a new WordPress blog. I feel like it is  appropriate for this post because I feel like this is [going to be] a whole new blog. While I'm still the same person with the same history, I'm completely different. Having a child has flipped my life on its head and I'm better for it, but different none the less. My motivation for being healthy has changed. My goals are different. My free time is VERY limited. Deep down, I'm a blogger. Writing has always helped me to see things a bit more clearly. Instead of looking at my time on this site as something I *have* to do, I plan to use it as something to help me turn into the person I want to. I saw a tweet the other day that said "Think of the person you want your children to become, now be that person." I wish I could remember who said it so I could give them credit. If it was you, let me know.  I've started eating healthier,

CSN Gift Card Giveaway

Do you guys remember way back in June when I told you to look forward to a review and a giveaway from CSN stores? Well, that day has finally arrived. The hardest part about this giveaway was choosing what I wanted. There are so many items in so many stores! They carry everything from dining tables , to fitness equipment, to shoes and accessories. I browsed through many, many different stores but kept going back to the shoe section. (Can you blame me?) Being a good weight loss blogger I would have purchased something in the health and fitness section, but where is the fun in being good all the time? After several hours pouring over the different shoes, I picked a pair and submitted my order. Immediately afterward I got an email telling me my order had been received and that it would ship from the warehouse within two days. The first day came and went with no news from the store. The second day I received an email telling me they were checking with the warehouse to see why my item had no
