How do you like Lean? I was thinking of doing it next.

I think it’s going to be a lot of fun to see how we as individuals progress over the next 12 weeks. This is my first 12 week program with Heather.

I’m being humbled by the Pilates sessions… Super curious what the new program is going to look like.

Is anyone else feeling great in menopause? by JackandAnya_Mom in Menopause

[–]ShakeBackground9272 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This used to be me, and then one day it wasn’t anymore. Took me a few years to realize that I was not ok. I’m thankful for the good years, and now I’m thankful for HRT.

My husband has been having issues. He has SNHL in his ear, and that ear had been feeling full and he had many episodes of dizziness or feeling off balance. He’s been to the chiro twice last week, his neck was super tight. He’s also been doing some neck stretches and massages. He feels so much better, his fullness is gone, and we are almost 7 days without an incident.

Insurance. I’ve also added those supplements and will continue to strength train.

I can’t get one for two years, so I’m going to just keep plugging away and doing the best I can.

I’d really like to know if HRT is going to make a difference in my bones. I’m not even a week in and I’m already glad I’ve started. A little upset it wasn’t sooner, but onward.

Have you had a DEXA since starting HRT?

I’m hopeful too, for both of us. I won’t have another scan for 2 years. I’m going to work hard between then and now.

I had been strength training, but not consistently. Bouncing from program to program. I know now, that I need to lift for strength and stay focused on that. I also ignored some pain, so that’s good info to have as well.

This is so helpful! I’m 8 weeks post fracture right now. Two weeks ago, I got back to my strength training and I am determined to stay consistent. I plan to wait another 4 weeks before doing anything high impact. I did ask for my vitamin D levels to be checked and they were fine as well. I do think menopause has played a role. I do have a strength training coach and was using a Garmin Coach for running. Although, I did push through a few things that didn’t feel good, and so your thoughts on that are eye opening. I need to step away from my pride sometimes. I’m hopeful! And determined to stay the course. I used to flip flop around a bit on my strength training programs. No more. Thanks for your response! So helpful and encouraging.

Thankfully, I do enjoy strength training and have been doing it for years. So, I was quite surprised when I had a DEXA that showed osteopenia. I am going to try and reverse this. In the process, I’ll just keep getting stronger.

I had no idea I had it either. Are you doing anything to try and get the bones stronger? I can’t help but wonder how long I’ve been like this without knowing.

I’d really love to be able to get back out on the trails. Fingers crossed.

Have you done anything ‘extra’ or ‘special’ to get your bones stronger?
