Wrinkles, Stress, and Ironing

Hmmm...this might be a stretch, but if you've been reading along, last week was all about wrinkles and this week all about stress (even though it's only Wednesday). Anyway, turns out, they're connected because one of the greatest ways to relieve stress is to IRON - and guess what that gets rid of - bingo! Repetitive motion sets your brain on autopilot, which allows it to block out stressful thoughts (yard work, vacuuming, walking the dog - same kind of thing - AND you get immediate, positive results: your stress levels go down, you start to relax, and before you know it, the work is all done (the dog goes to sleep and quits bugging you to walk him). I actually like to iron - I'm a little ADD, so seeing those wrinkles disappear right away is so rewarding. The only bad part is that ironing only burns 120 calories an hour, so I'll have to iron for 60 hours to lose that two pounds before the wedding...oh no, I'm starting to get stressed again - just kidding! See you tomorrow - Melissa
