47, postmeno, and I've been doing these little walks around the block when I get home from work. Not power walking, not "steps goals", just... walking. And honestly? My mood is noticeably better on the days I do it vs the days I don't. It doesn't fix the fatigue, it doesn't fix the weight stuff, but something shifts a little. I also finally tried two of those beginner strength videos this week. The ones where the instructor isn't screaming at you. My joints were not thrilled but I got through it. The thing I want to bring to my doctor though is the fatigue piece, because I genuinely don't know where the limit is. Like how much am I supposed to push through vs how much is my body actually telling me something? Some days a 15 minute walk wipes me out and I feel like that can't be normal. Trying to write down when the crashes happen so I actually have something concrete to say at my appointment instead of just "I'm tired all the time" which, same, me too, but I want a real answer this time.
