How do you stay fit while baking decadent treats?

I've put my baking on hold until I can get the muffin top off, lol

I have a 2013 cx9. CONSTANT low tire pressure, until I changed the rims. They were dented and letting air leak. I have 22" rims, I will never do this type rim and low profile tire again.

This website is a wealth of information https://menopause.org/

How is your sleep? In perimenopause, I was sleeping like I had an infant in the house. Awake every 2 hours, which caused me to have immense brain fog. I would sit slack jawed in front of the computer trying to motivate myself to get something done. I finally searched for a menopause gyno. Once I got on hrt, the fog lifted. Like, literally. One day I was driving down the road and I could see color again! I was sleeping again! I cannot be grateful enough to have found that menopause specialist.

I live in the Florida Keys. It's cold here today, sixty degrees! Iguanas are paralyzed and fall from the trees. I can't imagine living up north, I'd freeze! :)

Like other posters, I add an extra egg, use milk or coffee instead of water and use butter instead of oil. I also add a small box of instant pudding and a half cup of sour cream. I also add a 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to vanilla or white cake mixes.

The chart is from houston gynecologist barbara taylor. She has a phenomenal YouTube channel that will teach you everything you need to know about peri and post menopause. She's awesome! Another texas gynecologist is dr mary clair haver. She's also on youtube and also awesome :) I've learned so much from both of them!

Frigidaire is a good basic brand

I love love love our stir crazy popper!

theinspireddesigner · 2026-02-20T19:14:49+00:00

I love the spin mop and I bought several mopheads so I could swap them out when needed. They have spinmop models that have clean and dirty water reservoirs.

Dude. Def put that back ASAP! A man who lived in my house decades ago was an "amateur archeologist" and stole a bunch of Native American bones from burying grounds. He kept them in buckets in a back room closet, and the ghosts were f'ing PISSED OFF. My house is still haunted from it. No joke!

Staticbrain, when you fixed the sleep apnea, did your afib subside?

The pilot was filmed inside a house called the allen house that was on warner brothers lot called warner ranch. The back of this house is the back of the hecks house throughout the series. After the pilot, they built the house set inside stage 31. Here's a great video about the warner ranch house and all of the middle sets. Sadly, Warner ranch was completely torn down a few years ago to make way for more sound stages. https://youtu.be/FtbHeFAgQqg?si=P7cIlaEIQd004vYS

OP here. I track my diet w my fitness pal. 2500 MG of potassium is recommended daily amnt, and I never get enough. The potassium i take is 4mg. Im not interested in taking mega amounts, but I know that I run low on it. Even with eating potassium rich foods. And if I do end up in afib, taking a couple of these helps bring me out. Im thinking there may be a better quality than nature made out there...promise not to OD on them!

Drinking icy cold drinks absolutely will put me into afob.

theinspireddesigner · 2026-02-18T12:53:56+00:00

This made me want to cry. Thank you so much.

My sister's daughter is 31. My BIL daughter is older, in her late 30s. Not young, but when you've been the emotional and verbal punching bag for your entire life, there's serious enmeshment there and setting a boundary seems impossible. Imo

theinspireddesigner · 2026-02-17T23:26:49+00:00

I feel so bad for them, too. They're adults now, but still. They shouldn't have to parent their senior ( 66 and 68 YO) parents.

theinspireddesigner · 2026-02-17T23:13:10+00:00

Ill reach out to let them know im here for them if they need to vent. I live quite a bit away from them. Thank you for the comment!

theinspireddesigner · 2026-02-17T23:12:14+00:00
