I was in the best shape of my life at 50 and it felt wonderful! Menopause is a gift, once you get through it and I'm sure you've found the exercise helps. I used to walk up a mountain every day with my dog and it was the best meditation. I lifted weights 3x's a week and ate well.

My health started to go south but having been so strong has helped me get through some pretty dicey health issues and I still think I'll figure out a way to get back as much as is possible. I bought myself some mountaineering walking sticks this winter and a pair of really good boots from LLBean so I can safely navigate all terrain, in all weather, without a fall.

We really don't have to do anything we don't want to anymore! Your doing great, all the best to you!
