It has been SUPER cold out this year. At night things can get even colder! I don't have a electric blanket anymore but sometimes I sleep with a hot water bottle. Here is a real easy way to help warm up at night. It is "swaddling yourself" ... or making your own sleeping bag. Just like a baby wrap yourself up tight and within a few minutes your own body heat should warm you up. Please make sure that you make sure you won't fall off your bed etc.. if you do this. 
but it should help keep you warm..
Also keep moving, drink hot liquids.. and eat good to keep yourself healthy.

Keeping focused to not overeat while is so freezing out! I am working hard at taking off the extra pounds. Cold weather wants to make us just grab those extra calories because it is so cold sometimes we just feel we can't move... brrrr.. Here are some tips to help you stay warm and eat well. Add some extra "spicy" hot stuff to your foods. It's all about choices make a salad and sprinkle it with a few flakes of hot pepper. Drink a cup of Hot chicken bullion cube soup rather than having a rich creamy bowl. etc... think "HOT" and this should help fill you up without putting on those extra "guilt pounds" and MOVE, MOVE, MOVE... If you feel sluggish... drink a tall glass of hot water! water should perk you up. Stick to a good diet but for those "extras" make them Xed out tra la las... no 'guilt pounds' added please.. after all once summer hits you want to hit the beach or at least tone up in the garden!
