Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, insomnia, ....ummmm, what was I saying? Oh yeah, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and of course the infamous weight gain.
" What is this roll on my back?" She askes. " Where did it come from? How did it get there?"
Wow...I have one of those too...shit. I admit this to her....and we are intrigued. After our 20 minute mini rant, we decide that we should embrace it!
Embracing the Roll...admit to ourselves and others that it has good memories in it....it is a sign of experience, hard work, love and loss.
As we face our ageing head on, we decide we can appreciate all the work our bodies have done for us over the years. There is over 60 years between us of group exercise instruction. There are children, grandchildren, marriages, divorces... There is crying, laughing, supporting, encouraging. There is success and failure.
It is now time to let go of the little things that use to occupy way to much of our brains and thoughts. It is time ...we will NOT let the number on the scale, or the roll on our back take us down. We are so much stronger than that. We are Embracing the roll, and our future.
