Have you seen the list of 34 symptoms of menopause? I was STUNNED. I had a weird vertigo like thing that I came to call wobbly eyes, blood sugar crashes for the first time in 20+ years, weird ocular migraines, night sweats, incredibly sore breasts, etc. etc. It wasn't until after my last period that I had classic "hot…

Day 4. Ok. It's going okay? The biggest challenge right now is eating. It's crunch time for both hubs and for me with work, and take out dinners have become too frequent. BUT I'm getting the steps, and I'm closing all the Apple Watch rings, so there's that. There will be wine tonight, so there's also that. 😂 Hey, not bad…

Oh nice. that sounds like a brand I'd enjoy.

Day 1, may have been over in calories, but the rest was spot on. I got about 11k steps, I did 2 timed workouts, one was a treadmill walk, one was Supernatural on VR. Slow carb, yep.

In. As we all know, it's been a nutty year. Eating has been okay, but fitness took a hit when we transitioned to working from home. I've been slowly been creating new fitness habits. Goals: 10k steps a day Close all rings on Apple Watch every day this month, and get December award. Do at least one timed workout a day…

Nope. I just eat low glycemic, and monitor how food and food combos make me feel. That said: I totally monitor other things (fitness related) for data and fun.

CBD isn't "weed". Kratom should be used with MUCH CARE.

It's pretty impressive, isn't it?

FitXR is awesome. That, and Supernatural are my go to workouts during the pandemic. Supernatural is having a Black Friday sale, so I took advantage of that for the monthly fee.

Estroven gives me nausea, alas. I use CBD, some THC, and a thin thin blanket.

Glad you've found a transition you can work with. I eat "slow" carb, heavily influenced by Mediterranean style eating. Do what works.

Well that's no fun! Wow. LIDL. Haven't been in one in a year or so!

I'm pretty damned nerdy. But in a very different way. SALUTE! Hop the bump helps you find your tribe.

No weight gain, but I'd bet I gained inches. My work load went UP during the early days of the pandemic, and my workouts suffered. I have my schedule under control now.

I'm jumping in late this month! I've recommitted to exercise after slacking a bit in late spring. I've committed to cut out mindless snacking and wine-ing. Focusing on sleep hygiene. (And closing all my Apple Watch rings, still)

I'm sure you're not alone! Set reasonable goals, and work toward them. Don't give up when you mess up. Good luck!

These days I do cardio and a body weight routine. Before the pandemic that meant standard body weights, and Pilates/Yoga/Piyo. Now it's mostly bodyweight and pilates.

I took the better part of the weekend OFF! I am ready to tackle teaching for another month online, and doing what it takes! Workout this afternoon!

I'm hanging in there. My work load probably doubled (taking classes online, office hours online, managing my department etc.), and not exercising enough. But that's all improving.

1. get enough rest 2. eat low carb while traveling (instead of slow) 3. don't mindlessly drink wine when out with mates 4. close all three rings on Apple Watch (stand, move, exercise) daily.

Thanks for this Bacon. I'm traveling in March, so this will be good for me.

Feb 28 check in. I lost 4# of the menopot. Whoot! I worked out 24 of 28 (so far) days. I'm pretty happy with how it went.

Thanks for this thread @baconslave. I've had a GREAT month!

What are your stats? Are you female, short, and older? 1200 may be ok. Otherwise...

I'm on track! I had two slightly off days while flying, but am otherwise doing great this month. I joined a challenge at the gym: 24 one hour workout classes in February. I'm on track to complete it.

I did pretty well. But did have wine on a school night a couple of times. Now that I'm post-post-menopause it appears I don't get a good night sleep if I have a glass of wine. That makes the gym goal harder. So that goal will continue to February. It's just "habit". When we go out sometimes I'll order a glass mindlessly.…

1. eat slow carb every day 2. gym 24 days 3. close "move" ring on iPhone all 29 days 4. no wine on school nights (sleep goal)

It's the Apple Watch, yeah. You set goals. You get "progress" toward closing rings for standing (for 12 hours), exercising (at least 30 minutes), and moving (burning at least 500 calories moving).

Where did you get the 20-60 grams? I'm not seeing that number in my book.
