I'm sorry about your health issues and I hope you get an answer soon. I have absolutely been there...and still kind of am. My heart is in it, my mind is in it and body says "NOT TODAY"! I've worked out for decades, mostly 6-7 times per week. Once I hit 50 my body was telling me stuff. I've learned to listen.

Yes, once a while I find myself not going to the gym (garage) to exercise when I did think of going.
I notice my body is taking longer to recover after lifting heavy or very intense workout. I attribute it to age. No longer use step risers to save my knees. This month I've assigned myself moderation, doing YT Pahla Walk Off the Weight series but am looking forward to getting back to HIIT and heavier weights. I enjoy the challenges and modify when I need to. My reasoning (or excuse I should say) is not due to health but due to stress. My mother has dementia and moved to live with my parents about a year ago. Realized this month my father's cognitive decline is worse than I thought. It's hard when can't go for a day trips to take a break due to the pandemic. I end up taking unplanned rest days. |

I guess I was an age denier, and had no clue what the heck was happening to me. And that made my anxiety about my sudden down turn even worse. A lot of health stuff all at once. Prior to turning 45, I had been in the best shape of my life and was incredibly happy with most things. Now at 47, and over two years of cycling through recovering and then having more health crap, I've realized that most of my stuff has been perimenopause related. And if I had listened to my body and eaten correctly for my aging body and treated my body to the right workouts with more rest days, I may have saved myself from two years of hell. But I'm only now just realizing that I need to listen to my body. I'm still in the thick of perimenopause though, still regular cycles, still gaining weight. Anyhoo, I completely understand where you're at with everything! |
