Had my yearly physical. I quit drinking almost two years ago, and I'm in perfect health for a 52 year old.

20 lbs lighter, cholesterol is great, liver enzymes are all normal...

I literally have nothing to work on, other than to keep doing what I'm doing.

I'm so thankful I finally managed to quit.

Oh how I wish I lost 20 pounds. I think I’m down 10 in the last two years. But I’m getting old and my hormones are working against me now.

Yeah, I can imagine. It’s been slower than when I was in my 20s for sure and I’m sure it will continue to slow down. That’s one of the reasons I’m trying to get my shit sorted now! lol. I’ve been hitting the gym and lifting too tho so hopefully some of my not losing weight is my body recompositioning itself. But yeah, women’s bodies and their hormones are super crazy and complicated. At least we aren’t wasting all our calories on nutritionally empty alcohol!!
