  • Hot and Healthy – Thriving Through Menopause One Pound at a Time – Day 55, April 5, 2024

    Aloha everyone. Today is weigh in day and I came in at 125 solid. Not bad as I am only 7 weeks into this, and I am 5 pounds down. I am up from last time, but I had lost “sick” weight…not real weight. Now I think what I have is real. So I am…

  • Hot and Healthy – Thriving Through Menopause One Pound at a Time – Day 51-54, April 1-4, 2024

    Since I got sick, I have not adhered to a good schedule and have let a ton lapse, but I am slowly working on getting back to a real routine. On Monday, my first physical therapy appointment was held. This is to work on the degenerative disks in my neck and lower back. Yea, this…

  • Hot and Healthy – Thriving Through Menopause One Pound at a Time – Day 50, March 31, 2024

    Today was quite boring. It’s Sunday and a Holiday so not much to do, no place to go. It’s also Jellyfish week here so no beaching it until they are gone. I know I said I would post everything I eat but here’s the thing: I eat the same thing for breakfast and lunch just…

  • Hot and Healthy – Thriving Through Menopause One Pound at a Time – Day 49, March 30, 2024

    One of the cat “spares” woke me up too early. Since I had a 9am appointment with a patent attorney, I stayed up. The meeting was super productive. It had to do with my Cat Rescue, and it made me totally stoked after the call. I had breakfast, my protein shake and then did a…

  • Hot and Healthy – Thriving Through Menopause One Pound at a Time – Days 40-47 March 14 to March 28, 2024

    Getting sick is no joke anymore. Just like we can’t starve ourselves for a few days to lose a few pounds, it takes much longer to heal after a stupid cold. And that’s all it was…a stupid cold. Not covid, not the flu, but it laid me out for three weeks. And, of course, after…

  • Menopause and Cholesterol – It’s My Diet

    It is a simple fact that you cannot exercise when you cannot breath. I have not been able to breath well for more than 2 weeks now, but the end is in sight. No, not my end, the end of this forsaken cold. It is just a cold. I felt kind of sick for two…

  • Cultural Realities VS Myths: Unveiling Menopause Experiences in Black and Asian Women

    “BAME women don’t go through the menopause. At least that’s the message being told to countless Black and Asian women in the UK. Look at posters in doctors’ surgeries, or do a quick image search on Google, and you’ll likely be met by images of white women with grey hair, invariably clutching a fan.” Damn…

    Do you still love the intimacy associated with sex? The touch of a loving partner? A kiss worth 1000 diamonds?

  • Menopause and Waistline Woes – Do We Even Have a Chance? Yea, we do.

    So many articles, so little time. Just in the last two weeks since I have been sick, there have been many popups on my phone about menopause and weight loss, what we can do and can we even fight it. If you are following along with my weight loss journey, stalled due to illness, you…
