I almost didnāt share this. š¤
Lately, youāve probably noticed my content changing a little.
Thereās a reason for that.
When I hit 40, my body started changing in ways I wasnāt used to. Then I had my hysterectomy, and honestlyā¦ I felt lost.
I was working out.
I was eating well.
I was doing all the things that had always worked before.
But the scale wouldnāt move.
The body fat, especially around my midsection, kept going the opposite direction.
Some days I looked in the mirror and barely recognized myself.
That messes with you mentally.
When youāre doing everything ārightā and your body still isnāt responding, itās really easy to think, Whatās the point?
But I didnāt quit.
Even though I couldnāt always see the changes, I reminded myself that every workout was still doing something good for my body.
I wasnāt just working out to look better anymore.
I was building muscle.
Protecting my bones.
Supporting my metabolism.
Taking care of my future self.
And somewhere along the wayā¦ my frustration turned into curiosity.
Iāve spent the last 13+ years helping women through fitness, but these last couple of years have made me want to understand why our bodies change in perimenopause and beyond.
Thatās what led me to start digging into the research, testing different things on my own body, and combining what Iāve learned as a trainer with what Iām learning in my Health Information Management degree.
The more I learn, the more excited I get.
Not because Iāve figured it all outā¦
But because I know there are so many women who feel exactly like I did.
If sharing what Iām learning helps even one woman stop feeling defeated, keep showing up for herself, or realize sheās not aloneā¦
Then every bit of this journey is worth it.
This is why I created the Age Well Series. š¤
Weāre going to learn together.
Weāre going to get stronger together.
And weāre going to redefine what getting older can actually look like.
āØ Save this post if youāre ready to age strong, and tell me in the commentsā¦
Whatās been the biggest change youāve noticed in your body after 40?
