No. I agree with the comment about the electoral system and gerrymandering as fundamental issues. And the current administration does not respect the judiciary branch, that much is clear, and their actions are completely undermining the supposed divisions of power, without which there is no democracy.
Obviously, don’t try to do much at once :) But as a woman in your forties, resistance training is highly recommended! It’s a great way to ensure functional fitness, and it’s the best protection against developing osteoporosis as we head into peri-menopause and beyond.
So, if you are able to add that in, it will definitely be worthwhile.
Congrats! This is awesome. As someone who was in this place a few years back, I can honestly say that your future self will thank you for sticking with this.
About 5 years ago, I started working out consistently, and it’s the best thing I’ve done for myself in a really long time. Once it became a habit, I missed working out if I couldn’t make it for a few days. I crave it now. I am in my mid-forties now, but I’m fitter than I was for most of my thirties, and I have more energy for things.
So great job for getting active again, and stick with it! You will be so happy you did.
I’ve lived outside my country of nationality for years at a time. I’ve realized that I probably feel Scandinavian first and foremost, my nationality coming second to that.
I am in a long term relationship, so I’m not walking around looking for options. However, I am in my mid-forties, and I genuinely find people (of any gender) around my own age the most attractive, including on a purely physical level.
Anyone younger than mid-thirties or so just look like children (not literally, but it’s the best analogy I can think of). I don’t find them physically appealing. I obviously cannot say if this will continue to be the case as I get older, but as of right now, it’s true.
