Feeling the cold more with less body insulation. How are you keeping warm this year?



Recommended Posts

Holy hell its cold.!

What have you found that is keeping you warm this winter?

I have been wearing workout clothing to bed. But I think I'm going to purchase a duel zone heated mattress pad.

I'm thankful that my car has heated seats.

Turn my thermostat up to 70. sleep in a 95 degree waterbed. Wear lots of layers. Wear long underwear everyday from October to May. Keep an extra jacket, Fleece hat, and pocket warmers in my car. Niece made me a couple infinity scarves last year...wear em all the time. Drink lots of hot chocolate and hot tea.

Definitely layers..I found a pair of fleece lined leggings. I'm going to layer them under my jeans to work today.

80 degrees and you are freezing I'm moving to Florida. ;)

Ditto. It was 8 degrees when I fed the horses this morning. Gonna be a high of 26 today :/

And the fleece leggings work great! I have two pairs plus one pair wool long underwear and 2 pairs of heavyweight silk long underwear. Insulated coveralls, down jacket, gloves, wool hat and sorels sitting by the back door to pull on when I go outside to feed or shovel or plow.

I live in Phoenix, Arizona and I'm constantly freezing this year. It's not as bad as right after surgery, but oy! I never used to be cold, but I'm having to wear sweatpants to bed, long sleeved shirts, jackets, etc. just to keep from feeling like an ice cube.

While uncomfortable, I'll take it any day over always being hot like I was pre-surgery and over 100 lbs. ago. :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
