Feeling Older After You Hit That "30" Mark

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. If you struggle with eating proper portions, try reading these Sensa reviews to learn how it can help you learn to eat in moderation, leading to sustainable weight loss!

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?
