Sometimes I worry about getting older. This month, I especially worry because my birthday happens to fall in less that three very short weeks! Birthdays were good for me, until I embarked upon that dreaded journey to the “Big 30“! Now, I don’t look forward to my birthdays. It’s just another day and I could really care less how I celebrate as long as it’s somewhere with an MGD in my hand! This year, I’m sure I’ll be celebrating in our backyard, hopefully with a bon-fire, good friends and a beer in my hand.
But I do have to realize my age, which I know isn’t really that old. But I am getting older nonetheless, and I have to start worrying about certain things. My health is at the very top of that list, along with my weight.
I have worked some on the later in the last 6 months and am actually doing pretty well if I do say so myself! People keep asking me how much I’ve lost, but I couldn’t tell you since I haven’t stepped on a scale in years! I judge my weight loss instead by the sizes I drop, which has been 3 whole sizes. It may seem a little odd to most people, but in my eyes it saves me disappointment. I am not measuring pounds, where I’d be set back when I fluctuate, like most people do! Or I’d be super mad at myself for not reaching a goal. So instead, I didn’t make any, none at all! I just started eating less and making better choices about what I do eat. I don’t sit on the couch and eat half a bag of chips anymore. I don’t go straight for junk food. Instead, I eat in moderation. I truly believe that moderation is key to health and weight loss, but I know that a lot of people struggle with it.

Another thing to worry about as I get older is my health, especially being a woman. We have that whole dreaded menopause thing and I worry about menopause symptoms and if I’ll realize what they are when that time comes. Luckily, I know many women in menopause, so I should be able to seek advice form them. Women have so many things to worry about like saggy boobs and graying hair, which I already have gray showing through! The first few started at 19 years old! Now I have to actually dye my hair, not by choice but necessity to hide the gray!
I worry about aching bones, tiredness and prescription medications in my future. I suffer from allergies today and refuse to get a prescription because I don’t want to be a slave to it. I feel that way about all prescription drugs and am not looking forward to eventually having to depend on any! But what more could I do if the need arises as I age?
