This was the first podcast I listened to of yours. I just love you guys (gals)! I just turned 54 on Sunday. I have always been energetic, active, I love exercise and how it makes me feel. Always being a walker, I started running when I was 48 and have since ran two marathons, numerous half marathons and a few 10ks (I strive for the long distance). I do yoga, hike, bike, swim, love kayaking and open to about any outside activity. BUT this past winter was horrible with menopausal symptoms, weight gain (especially around the middle), just feeling crappy, depressed, no energy. I worried about my (15 pounds of) extra weight and strived to get back my zest for life. Long story short, it was a very loooong winter here in Northeast Washington!! This spring I through myself back into it (being active). Even when I didn’t feel like it I surged forward and decided not to worry about the number on the scale and just do my best to be healthy. I run 3 to 4 miles every morning before work and try to fit in strength training at home, yoga etc. I believe I have conquered the “dull-drums” and feeling soooo much better and healthier. The spare tire (around my waist) still exists but I just ignore it and figure it will disappear when it’s ready!! I just want to thank you Jill & Chris for your expert advice and encouragement. You two are a big part of my INSPIRATION and MOTIVATION. More and more everyday I’m feeling like myself again. Hoping to do my third marathon before turning 55!!
Susan:
