Besides eating healthier, another thing to help myself is to exercise. Longgggg ago I used to run to think, to clear out ideas and thoughts. Now that I am OVERTHINKING, and that is not good for my anxiety, I have to find new ways to occupy my mind when I am exercising.

My doc also told me to concentrate on exercises that keeps me on my feet, to build bone density and all that.

So I walk. I walk (almost) daily IN my home. Up the stairs, down the stairs, into the kitchen, living area, bedroom, up and down and all around. Rounds and rounds. I do this for 30 mins each time. It may seem small to many, but it made a difference to my well being. I also take my kids to the park nearby in the evenings.

Netflix and Iflix is what I turn to to keep my mind occupied when I'm walking. Whatever floats my boat, right?

I've also started incorporating using exercise ball and light, arm weight thingamabobs. This is what I do: Put the ball between my back and a wall, hold the weights in my hands, and do squats, rolling the ball up and down with my back as I do the squats. ALSO..... do the arm exercise movements to tone my arms and chest muscles and try to stop the batwings from getting worse.

I noticed that with my diet change and exercise, I've lost weight and developed some muscles, but my skin has started to lose its tone (I'm no longer 18 or 28, ok..) especially under the upper arms, on the top of my inner thighs, and under my almost non-existent butt. Gotta moisturise those areas well, and incorporate workouts to help those loose skin not look any worse than it is now.
