I will be fifty next month.
Being able to handle my body weight with handstands, pushups and bouldering makes me happy.
. I’m glad I started this thread because I think it’s helped me figure out where my priorities are. I really want to take the focus off just dropping weight, especially when I am demanding so much from my body and muscles. I think feeding myself appropriately for once may actually end up putting me where I need to be.
Yep what you say about menopause and muscle loss is true. Although I have no signs of menopause. I am as regular as I was at 25 and I don’t see any sign of change. The slow metabolisms been there forever so that’s not new. I dearly hope this doesn’t mean I’ll be one of those 60 year old women who still menstruate, but as it is a sign of overall health, and it means you still have good levels of estrogen, I’ll take it.
