A difficult few days my hubby is great and I love him to pieces but he can be volatile and moody which can be quite stressful, I have learned over the years when to keep quite or stay out of the way, it's not physical just verbal or continued silences The other day we got up and I am not sure why but he was moody everything I did was wrong so I stayed out of the way that made matters worse. Today so far it's like walking on egg shells , its physically draining as it used to bo ok when I was working, I know a lots of it is his painful joints and hay fever and frustration due to his age and not being able to do things but hey ho I guess I will just grit my teeth.
Hopefully no-one minds me sharing this I feel better getting it off my chest already!
Have you ever thought of seeking therapy for yourself and him? That is really no way to live. You shouldn't have to basically live in fear of upsetting your husband. I hope you can find some help for this situation
Thanks he wouldn't go anyway, normally I cope fine it will blow over I just have to find ways to keep occupied when he gets like it and remind myself it's his problem not mine!
Life is too short to be miserable, but only you can say what you'll put up with. Big hugs for you 🤗 vent anytime 🙂
Thanks!1 -

Cracked up when I read your comment, Tony. And then flashed on this old Jerry Lee Lewis tune.

I was 36 for a LONG LONG time. At my last birthday, I decided I probably could let myself be 42. So that's what it is for now. Garmin tells me my fitness age is actually less than that, so woo hoo. I guess I can just be my fitness age and be sub-40 instead of over 50. Nah. I'll just stick with 42.
I have a buddy that started counting backwards at 50.2 -
I to take a fitness walk today....I differentiate walks. We do adventure walks where we find something to explore, family walks which are slow and fit was walks where I typically go 5km as fast as I can. I added 100m light jogs to it today to test the knee and I managed to get the time under 40 minutes. While walking I decided i will make an August fitness challenge. So I'm challenging myself to do some sort of workout most days and get into shape.by September 1... we'll see how long it lasts2

I'm 50 and have lost 40lbs over the last 6 months. Targeting another 10lb loss. Feel free to add me.6

I prefer saying I’m 21 with 22 years of experience. 😂5

I am level 39. I will be level 40 soon, and everyone knows that's when you get the really cool spells2

I fall into the 50ish category and would be happy to loose 50ish pounds. Seriously, I've used MFP previously but stepped back from it years ago but here I am again working out at my gym walking etc etc.... I'm seeing it's not the lack of exercise that kills me but what I choose to put in my body.... Looking forward to making some friends...2

Counting backwards from 50... lol.. I Like this, in that case, I'm almost 8 years old.

Hi all, sorry I was out this weekend. Spent too much time working out in the yard and moving boxes... dang storerooms. My back decided to work overtime...... Acupuncture appointment went WELL yesterday and just decided to take it easy.
This morning I did a 1.5 mile jog/walk, 15 mins stair-stepper, and then 15 mins on Elliptical.
How is everyone today?3 -
Morning/afternoon/evening
Started this in my 20s, life happened and now I'm back where it all started. Older and much heavier. Free for adds1 -

The Garmin website calculates it for me based on its estimate of my VO2-Max. So get yourself a Garmin device and go run several times. Apparently my VO2Max improved again with my last run so I'm a year younger now.Counting backwards from 50... lol.. I Like this, in that case, I'm almost 8 years old.
Check your math. You're 43. Next year you'll be 42. I still plan to be 42, unless I just start reporting my fitness age

Why does no one wants to be their age? I don't mind being 47. I don't feel 47, I'm told I don't look 47. It's just a number really. I know lots of 89 year olds you'd never guess are 80. I say be proud of your age because we all get older.6

That's great your Garmin age is lower, well done. 🙂
You can be any age you feel like, it's just a number anyway 😃0 -

Hope your back is still feeling ok. Gentle on it is probably a good idea.1 -

Hey all, I just turned 40 and have decided that I need to do something different. I've been overweight my entire adult life and I'm just done with it. I'm done having kids now and have finally recovered from weaning and post-partum so now it's time to focus on myself a little. I need to lose over 100 pounds so if there's anyone out there in a similar boat feel free to add me I could use the motivation 3

Hey there, I'm 46 and back at it... My weight has gone up and down my whole, entire life. I get to a point where I'm at goal and I think, "Oh! I'm cured!" And then I stop tracking, start eating crap, skip workouts. You'd think I would know better by now. Anyway, here I am near 160 and I have finally come to accept that I will need to track what I eat my whole life. Because if I don't, I'll keep telling myself that eating, "just this one thing..." about 6 times a day is okay and then getting upset with myself when I am back to a place where I am uncomfortable with my body AGAIN. I also have a 14 year old daughter and would like to role model a decent, rational relationship with food. I also go back and forth between "everyone should love their body the way it is" and "I don't love my body the way it is." Sigh.... Anyway, I would love to make friends with you all and help support you on your journeys as well. Anyone else figure they are going to have to track for life? - Jen3

Ya surprise them. Be proud of your age you've put in those year experiencing life. Ya it comes with aches and pains but no reason at all to be ashamed of aging since it's something everything on the earth does. And heck if people say I don't believe it then more power to you but I do often wonder who decides what certain ages look like. Maybe I look 47 and those who look it when I supposedly don't just look older4 -

Love that attitude, Tony! I agree - the best compliment you can get - "You don't look that old". HAHA!
