Menopausal Monday #12

#possiblerantalert

Outer thighs, inner thighs, the whole area seems to be screeming for (and I know how this is going to sound) continuous open-leg stretch. Starting to think an everyday end of day yoga session might help.

My biggest problem, and probably the biggest problem for most women is that the job requires being sat down all day long and (in our minds) for the sake of productivity, we don’t get up and move often enough. Yes, I get up half way through the morning to grab a cup of coffee, at lunch, and then mid afternoon, before finishing for the day. And that’s it. The rust sets in in our joints and we feel it.

Then those anchor days we work from the office we finish the day absolutely shattered, with the commute drive (especially if I have to drive at night). Not only we struggle with the stress of driving, but we still have to get through a whole eight hours’ work but we also have to be around people (God knows how taxing that can be…) . It’s a lot to take in. Sadly, Monday is an anchor day for me.

This is what menopause is all about, apparently… I absolutely agree with Shakira, my hips cannot lie. When it hurts, it hurts. But, there are good things. Dry January is now officially over😊
