The year I turned 40 my body felt like it was falling apart. Seriously, I have not been the kind of person that feared 40 so I was a bit alarmed because I knew it wasn\u2019t in my head. It was in my body and I had all kinds of aches and pains that year. Shortly after 40 it all went away and I started working out harder and being more active. Well, this year I turned 50 and my body aches again! What the heck is happening? A friend told me his theory \u2026years that end in zero all have body aching problems but once you get to the year ending in a one, it\u2019s all better. Great, I can\u2019t wait for 51! It truly does amaze me how much your body changes as you age\u2026my grip strength is less, I can\u2019t sit for as long as I used to, I can\u2019t remember peoples\u2019 names (and sometimes I don\u2019t want to), my lips are thinning (I really hate this one because I\u2019ve got beautiful lips, or so I thought!), tennis elbow, creaky knees, the dreaded hot flashes (Ha! I think men can get these to), I\u2019m useless during the day if I didn\u2019t get 8 hours of sleep (though I\u2019ve been like this for quite a while), my feet are getting fatter and I\u2019m losing some of my arch, scuba diving is making my finger joints ache. The list goes on, must I continue? I think you get the idea. But on the brightside, if my friend\u2019s theory is true all will be better in a few months! My fingers are crossed (when they\u2019re not hurting).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
