50 here and have been in perimenopause for at least two years. My cycle is still totally regular, but for the last two years all of my period seems to come out in one day. I started staining the bed again! Haven’t done that since I was a teen. The main symptom I have been having for the past nine months is servere…

I am a big fan of cauliflower rice these days, especially since I can now buy it in the frozen food section of my grocery store, which save a ton of time rather then making it from scratch. I use it instead of rice when eating things like curries, or whatever recipes I normally serve over rice, that benefit from having…

I have had luck with herbs like Valerian, Passionflower, Skullcap, chamomile, etc. Also there are some Cal/Magnesium drink powders that claim to help if you drink them right before bed. I have had a little success with those off and on. Here is one of those drinks that also includes melatonin and l-Theanine:…

An update, incase this post helps anyone. I went on a backcountry ski this weekend which is essentially cross country skiing but uphill, with a little bit of downhill skiing. This time I started an elliptical workout at the beginning which I figure has similar arm movements. It worked well and the device did seem to…

Heybales thank you for the additional information. Before my ski today I forgot to set it to hike which I had planned to do. So the auto activity tracker kicked in. It thought I was swimming off and on and definitely didn’t record the calorie burn right. It was very cold today, only 13F when I was out. I am wondering if…

emmamcgarity, thank you! Your post was so helpful! I was able to change up my exercise short cuts, although I don’t have the option of Outdoor Workout. Would just “Workout” be that? I have the Inspire 2 and it does seem to have a GPS in the tracker. Heybales, thank you as well! I have not synced my Fitbit with MFP as of…

I love eggs for breakfast. I find they keep me satisfied for many hours. My big hack for eggs is to mix one whole egg with a half a cup of egg whites (that I buy in a carton) for scrambled eggs. I get the flavor from the yolk of the whole egg but tons more actual food when I add the egg whites than if I had just eaten two…

Recently I have found a satisfying healthy dessert is a cup of defrosted pitted black cherries. I buy a big bag of frozen pitted cherries and scoop out a few cups into a container to keep in the fridge so they are ready when I something sweet.

My go to is one whole egg mixed with a 1/2 cup of egg whites to make scrambled eggs. Sometimes I add a sprinkle of shredded cheese or feta. Low carb/high protein which sustains me for hours. Whenever I eat oats, I am hungry again within an hour.

I personally love Brown Cow Cream at the Top whole fat yogurt. It tastes heavenly and has no added sugar. I was not really a yogurt lover until I found Brown Cow. Most other yogurts are too sour tasting for me. My second favorite is FAGE 5% Greek yogurt. Super creamy, not gritty at all, and not sour.You can add fresh fruit…
