Five Oh

My fourties was kind of rough, physically and mentally.

It was Covid and that weirdness, and my mental health getting gnarly.  There was a lot less fitness based activity and a lot less mental ... uh... calmness?

So starting a new decade, and one that feels like it's leading into older age (because they all do but you know what I mean?) I'm making an effort to enact some positive changes for myself.

I'm working on my attention span, my mental health (still), and my physical health.

I've just had an intake with a naturopath (I saw one years ago but all the things they wanted me to give up and do were "too much" and I didn't follow up) in part to look at being a "woman of a certain age" (ahem ahem peri-menopause?).  I had a session with a personal trainer (I've done that before but it's been a long while and the pain I'm currently in is proof of that.)  I'm looking into getting some of the shots you're meant to get at this age (shingles for sure).  

I'll talk more maybe tomorrow about the other things, but for now I guess I maybe just wanted to give myself a little dose of accountability by putting it out there that I'm trying to get healthier and to set myself up for the next (hopefully!) 50 or so years of my life.
