Hi, I should have introduced myself instead of diving straight in, do forgive me.
So, hi, I'm 57, married, 2 grown up sons, I work I a supermarket.
I started with the menopause a few years ago, but the VA kicked in about 18 months ago, didn't know what the he'll had hit me, never heard of it before.
I gave up smoking about 6 years ago and along with the menopause, gained weight. I joined weight watchers and I've lost almost 3 stone, which miraculously have managed to keep off.
Pre covid I used to swim once a week and could manage 40 lengths in 50 mins.
During covid as the swimming baths were closed, I challenged myself to C2K, which I managed to do, I can't say as I enjoyed it as much as swimming tho. Hoping to go back swimming in Sept.
A friend I've had for 30+ years accompanied me on my runs (we used to meet weekly for walks) decided to fall out with me over me requesting that we go back to evening walks instead of morning (she was due back at work!) and she was adamant that we should stick to mornings, so I just said we will have to sack it off then. I explained to her that as I work at 6 am 5 morns a week, that it would be nice not to have to rush out she messaged me and said enjoy your me time!
I've felt quite down since that episode, I still can't believe what she did.
Sorry to go on, a problem shared...
So glad to have found this forum. Thanks
