feeling cold
Hi everyone. We are just entering Fall here in New England and I am finding that I am feeling very chilled. I have been doing macrobiotics for about 6-7 months so this is my first winter. I find myself searching my pantry for high fat nuts/seeds just an hour or two after eating a full meal. I do not feel hungry, but cold. I have always kept the heat around 68-70 degrees in the winter, so this is not a factor. Considering that by February we'll be around 0 degrees outside, my whole body will be blue/gray not just my feet! Actually, my feet are colder to the touch than the wooden desk that my keyboard sits upon.
On the plus side, I have so far managed to avoid the virus that has run rampant through my sons' preschool, in spite of being coughed and sneezed onto for 2 weeks.
Any suggestions would be great. I have been cooking my rice in a pressure cooker and have made several bean casseroles that are baked in addition to pressure cooking the beans. My weight is about the same it is every fall (I plump up a couple of pounds over the summer and lean out over the winter), so I still have the insulation I did last year.
Thanks for your suggestions,
Leenie
