Have had crazy restriction this week. Loving it - except I am having trouble pushing more than 1000 calories per day this week. Even at that I'm drinking just over 200 of those calories in a shake and protein coffee.
The cold is killing me! I used to be hot all the time. I am not used to these chilly mornings. My hands are icy cold almost all the time now, too - except when I work out and for a few hours after that. But in the morning they are like ice cubes and stay that way until I workout in the afternoon. Anyone else have this?
I'm expecting even a mild California winter to be a new experience for me.

Yes! I always ran cold even pre-op, except when it was hot out.. I was a temperate only girl.. extremes of either end would bug me.. but last winter was hard on me due to the increased cold sensitivity.. and I'm starting to feel it now, but it seems (so far) not as bad, but the house is 72 and I'm in my silks & a short sleeve sweater too, so... My feet & hands get cold and do not warm up unless I do something to make them warm, that's always been me though.. room temp extremities.
Check into silk long underwear.. they even make sock & glove liners.. they are super-light, breathable and very warm. I wear them 24/7 from Oct-March! Wool bedsocks are a must as well. If my feet are cold, I can't sleep. It's a sexy look I tell ya.

Maryland is a bit warmer than my hometown (Cincinnati) but still too cold for me. I need the tropics year round. 80 every day!
My feet and hands stay cold and my sinuses tend to run when I'm cold. They are predicting that we will have a hard winter here. We were mild and dry last winter.

Where do you find the sock liners? Must have.
I had to get a twin electric blanket for my side of the bed, but I still wear socks. Yeah, it's a look.

I have been living in layers since my surgery in Jan 2011. I wear a sweater or fleece all the time except when I am actively exercising. I have a heated mattress pad (like an electric blanket, only under you) that warms the bed without smothering me in too many covers. This would be okay if I still lived in NYC, but I'm in California too! Still freezing even though 55F is a cold day here.
