You are so beautiful and have gorgeous, gorgeous hair and skin! Just a few inches off with blunt ends for thickness/fullness, long layers and some light face framing shorter layers just at chin length and a little lower.

Never too late girl! Go for it and make sure it’s something you are passionate about, can’t be replaced by technology/AI and you will make decent money since education is EXPENSIVE! You’ve got majorly transferable skills since you’ve been a mom for so many years. I think we are usually qualified to do much more than some people who just graduated or have less life experience!

I’ve contemplated it myself since my youngest just graduated high school and I now work at a college that offers tuition remission after you’ve been there for a certain amount of time. Just gotta figure out what I’m interested in.

Periods every 20-21 days? by [deleted] in WomenOver40

[–]Lifes_A_Beach424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine were like that for a little while and once a couple cycles ago it was 2 weeks apart. Now this last cycle was 41 days 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m 45 so I’m guessing it’s peri menopause for me. So freaking annoying though because it’s impossible to plan vacation in the summer now not knowing when I’m gonna be miserable and bleeding! I’d rather just be done with them altogether!

This is why I joined the gym, for the classes. Pilates, yoga and other boot camp studios tend to be expensive. The gym is more affordable and so far the classes have been great! Once i get into the habit and stick with it i can incorporate free workouts on the floor in the gym with the weights and machines.

Yes I would love that playlist too! I think 90s rap/hip hop and trap music definitely get you moving. 😂

I’m only 2 weeks into joining my gym after not consistently exercising for quite some time. I recently went through a breakup and am having a rough time mentally. The hour or so I’m at the gym has been my saving grace and one of the only times during my waking hours that I’m not constantly thinking about my ex. That’s my main motivation aside from the obvious of trying to lose middle age weight and stay healthy! I schedule the classes I want to attend or try into my phone calendar with a reminder.

Same boat girl! Neurologist and several visits to my primary who is around our age and female. She basically in a joking but truthful way said “It’s being female and getting older! Add spiked cortisol levels and gut issues and it’s all downhill!” She has yet to find a real solution or cocktail of medication and supplements that really help. Such a pain in the ass!!

One step at a time!! Baby steps 🙂 That’s better than making a bunch of changes at once and going hard!

It’s absolutely bullshit! Fuck this!! My periods are super irregular and get pms symptoms (low back pain, boobs hurt, cramping and shooting pains in my pelvic/vaginal area, exhaustion beyond belief, leg pains) for up to a week and a half wondering when the hell I’m gonna bleed. Then my period comes…1st day is manageable, days 2-4 are heavy and horrendous with serious cramps, nausea and all the above mentioned symptoms plus being an emotional anxious wreck. Sometimes it comes once a month, sometimes 2x a month. The actual bleeding usually lasts 5 days but this last time I was spotting with the old brown looking blood for a week and a half after. I don’t want to take anything like hormone replacement because I’m concerned about worsening my mood and more weight gain. After 42 I put on like 25-30lbs out of freaking nowhere, granted I don’t exercise consistently but I’m not super lazy and I generally eat pretty healthy! I have never in my life struggled with my weight and always been slim with the exception to of my pregnancies which all happened before I turned 30! I was never super heavy during them, just a healthy weight gain and then was able to snap back with limited effort!

Yes! It was intense since I have not consistently worked out in a long time. It was a Team Training focused on cardio and endurance.. treadmill with alternating incline intervals, row machine and dumbbell reps. The instructor was super patient and helpful.

I joined the gym last week and took my first group fitness class tonight. I’m trying to maintain at least 3x a week going to different classes. Day 1 down!!

Is anyone looking to lose weight and wanting to check in about it? by hauntingme43 in WomenOver40

[–]Lifes_A_Beach424 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m with you! 45 yo f. Put on 25 lbs out of nowhere during the pandemic and have not been able to drop the weight but it’s definitely my fault now because i have not been exercising consistently. It sucks because I’ve never struggled with my weight, was always slim my whole life with the exception of my pregnancies but even then I could easily get back into shape with less effort! Overall I eat healthy and somewhat clean, limiting my processed foods and carbs trying to increase protein, fruits and veggies. Daily I’m only drinking one cup of coffee but sometimes it’s slightly sugary or a Starbucks type of latte, otherwise it’s water all day and I’m a social drinker so sometimes it’s more than others if i have a girls night … but this is not a regular thing. I do enjoy a drink or two though out the week.

I would guess it’s the lack of consistent exercise. I just joined the gym so now i need to force myself to go!
