It's official. I've now gone a full year without a period. It's strange... I feel a sense of sadness. I'm not really sure why. I've reached menopause earlier than I ever thought I would.
I've found that even though I'm constantly excercising, I'm having more and more trouble keeping weight off. I'm beginning to get frustrated. I feel so ridiculous complaining about this. I've been away from this bb for awhile. As I'm just beginning to catch up, so many of you have been through so many much more difficult situations than this...
I've decided to take a bit of positive action. I'm going to look into several health clubs in my area and join one of them. I used to belong to one of them and really got into it. The problem was that I became too wrapped up in difficult child issues and work. By the time I could get to the gym, I was just too exhausted. So for Christmas gifts, husband got me a treadmill one year and an elliptical another year.
I still plan on doing most of my aerobic exercise at home or running outside when the weather is good. However, I think that the only way I'm going to do any weight training at all, is if I join a health club. Besides, I really need a social outlet. Sometimes I feel like I'm in a prison cell surrounded by difficult children...
To be honest, I think that at least half the reason I want to join a health club is because I need to escape from my difficult children. husband plays golf, attends at least one social event every month with "the guys", and goes to a local social club regularly. I'm always stuck at home with the difficult children. I feel so socially isolated at times!!!
I'm going to talk to husband. He is going to have to be home more. I really need more time away from home. I really do feel like I'm sufficating...
Thanks for letting me vent. I feel like I need something more out of life. My difficult children are really getting to me... WFEN
