feeling just warmer in body

[north woods gal]

I'm well past that, now that I've almost reached 67. Every great once in awhile, I'll get tinges of a hot flash, but by now, I find that I'm more sensitive to the cold, not less. I just handle it by doing very aerobic things like skiing and snow biking when outdoors in our very cold winters. Standing around kind of things in the winter are pretty much a no no, these days.

As a long time winter biker, the ideal for me as far as dressing for cold weather, is to feel cool for the first couple of miles. My body then warms up to the comfy level. If I feel warm right from the start, I know I've over-dressed, at least as far as my core temp goes. My hands, ears, face and feet can never be too warm in the winter.
