Yes! Ugh, the weight gain is a pain! I’m 55 and trying really hard to accept this foreign looking body that my soul calls home. I still walk and eat healthy as I’ve always done. I’m on a low dose of estrogen, but my belly is as big as I was when I was a little over 7 months pregnant just 13 years ago. Intending to move my body more when time allows. Dont even get me started on how much I’ve isolated myself since menopause snuck its ugly head into my life. Thanks for listening! Nice to see I’m not alone.
It's so hard. Sometimes. I don't recognize myself. My belly will never be same. I can't accept that I think I'm 23 in my brain but then I see my reflexion and think that can't be right, lol. It's interesting that you said isolation. I've been doing that too!! I thought it was post pandemic but not sure. I started menopause 2020, so good times. Thanks so much for commenting on my post
You could have written my story Jane. Only I was another 10 years on when aging kicked back. At 67 I had knee tendinitis, shoulder bursitis, then hip bursitis and hip labral tears. Nearly a year on I have come back. I am much stronger and I have no pain. I wrote about it here. https://robyneveringham.substack.com/p/my-biggest-hiking-challenge The best resource I found is a book called Built from Broken that I mention in the article. I learnt so much from it. It gave me the confidence to know with certainty that I could come back and I have proved it. Now I will have to set 'handstand' as a goal.
I was fine. I did a handstand 30 day, the kick up didn't work with knee arthritis as easily as it did a few years ago. So I will do wall walk ups eventually. I did some weights, and I'm a dog walker and was a hair stylist for over 20 years and there was shoulder injury from a few years ago/shoulder whip lash. I never recovered 100%
What is this moderation you speak of? 😂😂😂😂 Seriously, I get it! It SUCKS! My knee, my shoulder...hot flashes from hell. UGH! But! It's not a heart and it's not a liver...we keep going. We buy some Voltaren and go to the gym! ✌️
Heat flashes suck!! I'm trying to get off of hrt worried about long term affect. My husband says I feel like a furnace at night. I heard magnesium helps. I keep saying I will try
Coat yourself in coconut oil for 24 hours and compare pain levels.
May take several times, but this is a 5,000 yr. old Aryuvedic health technique.
Put the yoga pants and hoodies on afterwards, without rinsing and do your thing.
In an alternative medical opinion, most joint pains are caused by osteomyelitis, which means joint infection.
The pathogens can be viral, fungal, bacterial.
Coconut oil is a natural antibiotic, which has an L-acid in it, which destroy microbe walls.
Deepak Chopra has a lot more on this. I add a wee bit of peppermint oil.
Peace and Health.
All full length mirrors just need to be banned!! lol Oh, and let’s make hoodies and comfy clothes the norm for all occasions please.
Agree! Hoodies and yoga pants forever!! That is my work uniform. I'm a pet sitter and pets don't care
Nice!!

My reply below is for you 🤦♀️. Didn't hit reply. Blame menopause brain
Blame it on the men O pause (changing the lyrics from the Millie Vanili’s blame it on the rain song) lol
😄 Got to blame it on something...
I blame it on being so new to this platform. I’m not sure I hit reply on one of them either.

Oh wow! I will check it out. Thanks Robyn. That's so inspiring
Handstand is quite extreme for me

Yeah, most of the time we won't recover 100%. Have work around those injuries
That stinks, but it's a reality I'll have to work with
