What is wrong with me?
Holy cow...this perimenopause is a b*tch!! I am moody, can't sleep, and change my mind CONSTANTLY. My latest incident.......I, recently, complained on here about "hating" Jessica Smith strength workouts and saying I was sick of her. Then, immediately started doing the rotation for the Walk On: 21 Day Weight Loss plan. But, that wasn't enough. To prove my current insane mental state, today I went and ordered the 6 week transformation series (Walk Strong) and the other 2 discs for Walk Strong 2 (I already had one of them). OMG. I feel like I am losing my mind!!! I change my mind faster than you can blink. It's scary!!!! Yesterday, I cried at a laundry detergent commercial. What the hell!!! I am horrified what I will be like when menopause finally arrives!!! :eek:
I do have one plus though...since I couldn't lose weight (my body said "hell, no, b*tch), I have learned to accept my current weight. I am either a size 16 or 18 and weight about 200-204 pounds at 5'7". I learned to love myself and I learned I am enough. I am worthy. There is nothing wrong with me and the diet industry is not going to profit off of me anymore. I learned to focus on what my body CAN DO and not on what it looks like. So, that part has been life changing (the one and the ONLY good thing about perimenopause!!). I am the most confident I have ever been. I am now focused on fitness and NOT a number on a scale. Ok, sorry for my rant. I just dropped almost $100 on new workout Dvds. I am hopeful my mind stays focused so I am able to do these before the "wind changes"!!!!! Wish me luck!!!!! |
Gemini2874 -I think the positives outweigh the negatives here. And, i think that perhaps w/ meno things will settle down more - at least there won't be these crazy fluctuations. I am on a Jessica Smith kick myself, doing a Walk Strong 1.0 rotation right now.

Lol, I wouldn't worry that it's necessarily perimenopause related! I find myself doing this a lot (I'm 41 now, but I've been this way for a long time :p ). I am very fickle, and once I decide I'm interested in something, it becomes all-consuming. And yes, I do the same thing with workout DVDs. I can go years without being interested in a particular instructor or workout genre, but then I suddenly decide I AM interested in them/it and I have to acquire everything available.
Just letting you know you are not alone! :D ETA: But it may be a Gemini thing!! I am a Gemini as well ;) |

How do you like Walk Strong 1? I debating starting it when it comes on Wednesday or finishing the 21 day rotation. |

It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters I what YOU see". -Gabourey Sidibe "Life is so much more beautiful and complex than a number on a scale".- Tess Holliday I believe in you! You WILL get there. You are worthy and perfect just the way you are!! Don't let anyone tell you different!!!! Life is short so live your life the way you want now...don't wait!!!! Don't worry- We can have each other's backs!!!!:heart: |
