Won’t break the rules again! But I turn 50 in February and it’s pretty surreal. What are the best parts of the 50’s? I’ve deeply enjoyed my 40’s ☺️
I follow the aging subreddit and so much of it is negative, especially around women aging. I personally feel like I’ve gotten more attractive and powerful as I’ve gotten older. I’ll be 50 at the beginning of next year and the number feels wild to say out loud but I feel great.
Also, I think there is this equivalency between being called pretty and youth. And that once you’re young you aren’t going to be seen as pretty. I really don’t care about being seen as pretty. I see myself as striking, regal and powerful. Princesses are pretty. Queens are regal. Even in jeans and a T-shirt hahaha
Thoughts my fellow Gen X queens? I guess you millennials can comment too ;)
We are best friends, absolutely could not live without him ❤️
No make up, just sunlight ☀️ Happy Friday ☺️
Been trying to get my stems to match my arms. They are WAY darker 😭… need to wear shorts more often ❤️
Happy Summer y’all ☺️
Had a date night and saw Backrooms last night. It was complicated and interesting but Obsession is a masterpiece (if you like scary movies!)
I lost 75 pounds on Tirz in the last couple of years, but decided to switch to Reta for a few reasons. Tirz made me unbelievably tired and for about a year I barely worked out. I could not be bothered, it wasn't just physical exhaustion it was a mental block as well. That is NOT typical for me, even at my heaviest I was always working out and my entire adult life had been very physically active. Plus as a perimenopausal almost 50 year old woman my ADHD had kicked into high gear and I had been reading about the positive effects for those symptoms.
So I switched to Reta and my energy levels increased and I have been hitting the gym like crazy to try and recover my muscle loss. I am almost 50 so its taking a minute but I feel way more dense.
There was an issue with our order (husband is on Reta too, fantastic results) so I haven't had a shot of Reta in a few weeks now. No biggie but suddenly I am noticing a side effect as it diminshes.
Reta made me SO FLAT. I can't recall what the word is, but I can see my desire for things and the joy they bring had been diminished greatly. All of sudden I am lusty again (my typical way of being). My. husband, who is wonderful, never complained but did mention I now greet sex with my usual enthusiasm and seek it out. My mood is elevated, I emotionally feel WAY more alive. You know that scene in the Lord of Rings where the possessed king slowly wakes up from being controlled by worm tongue and is alive again with his niece watching him wake up? Yeah, thats me.
Our shipment should be arriving shortly. I microdosed some Tirz that I had leftover to tide me over, primarly to keep my inflammation down (autoimmune issues). But now I can't decide which side effect is worse to decide my path forward. I am also on HRT just in case someone recommends that because of my age.
Because I had lost a bit more weight, even with training I was titrating Reta down, not sure if a lower dose would help. I was on 4 but titrated down to 2.5 before we ran out.
Anyone else experience this? Pics for attention.
I hear a very wide range haha curious as to your thoughts :)
