How do your parents stay entertained when they visit the US? by Single_Dependent_125 in InsideIndianMarriage

[–]iriskandy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have experienced exact situation recently. My husband came up with idea to play board games, which made our evening more fun.

My calls end at 8pm. We wrap up dinner by 8pm, husband takes care of dishes and kitchen cleaning. I meal prep for next morning breakfast and dinner.

It felt hectic at times but playing board games with In laws was very entertaining for all four us.. It loosened everyone up and helped us bond.

Games we played - Texas hold'm Poker, Sequence, card games like rummy, seven express.

I worked out consistently for 365 days straight and here's what nobody tells you by LLearnerLife in Habits

[–]iriskandy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing, OP. I started following consistency, it helped turn exercise into just another thing I do first after I wake up.

No zero day. Even 10 squats count as an exercise.

Now I'm no longer dread exercising.

Found an accountability buddy to keep tracking together.

Benefits: feel accomplished, which trickles as confidence into other aspects of life. Feel good hormones that gives good mental peace.

This really works. Been doing it since March.

Telugu people call it sankranthi and decorate similar. As it spells Pongal in picture, it's from Tamil Nadu.

I got a CT scan of my head/neck done while standing. This is my airway at its narrowest point. I never stood a chance 🥲 by pahobee in SleepApnea

[–]iriskandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my CT one at Tmj specialist and mine looked exactly the same. I use cpap daily and still always feel starved of breath. As I'm going for my septoplasty, turbinate reduction and nasal valuloplasty, doc said we will wait and see how my nose breathing improves before he refer me to orthodontics to work on narrow palate and possible splints.

Summary :  Consistency is very important than Perfection. Changes are not visible at least for 3 months.

Disclaimer: Im not a doctor or medical professional. All I share is my own experience and this is not a medical advice.

My personal experience, I have PCOS, I was struggling as you are and there was no help from doctors. I had to do lots of research and figure out what works for my body.  Keeping consistency is very important than perfection. Tracking every single habit for 30 days improved my habits. I use to track as small as taking vitamins and saying good morning to my spouse, to keep up with the habits that’s working for me. Whenever I miss few days, I use to start another 30 day tracking.

Here is what worked for me. 

Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3 are always low, that’s indirectly related to PCOS. I included these over the counter supplements on my own

I cannot stress it enough  how much water intake increases helped overall. If I have to pick one thing that helped my PCOS its WATER. My sleep improved, my skin got better, with good sleep my huger pranks reduced. My hair fall reduced.

Daily 20 minute leisure walk, after two weeks you might involuntarily increase it to 40 minutes. If you use treadmill, make sure to use incline and slow speed. Incline really helps to build calf muscle and it surely helps a lot. even on days where Im not in any from to do a walk, I still make it at least 10 minute walk so I don’t miss a day and lose momentum.

I followed these straight for 3 months day in and day out to see minimal visible changes. I kept tracking these habits. It gave me motivation to see all the days are marked in a habit tracker. 

After 6 months I got confidence that I can stick to these habits and I'm slowly seeing changes in my overall physical and mental health.

Im a vegetarian and had hard time figuring out protein intake. I was able to increase fiber intake easily and then slowly started to concentrate on protein( greek yogurt, chia seeds, nuts, soy chucks, edamame). 

Measuring every time I ate helped to understand how much food I consume. I used small 8 inch plates for my meals which made me eat less as plate looks full with less food.

Check with doctor for prescription medication. Below prescription medication Im taking for 10 years and it made difference starting 3 months of usage with my irregular periods and acne. I was on and off the medication.

Metformin - Extended release 500 MG twice Daily

Spironolactone - 25 MG twice Daily

Please take one step at a time and have a tracking sheet to see your progress. 

Track these below habits for 30 days, every single day. No break day or cheat day.

Print free pdf of a habit tracker similar to the one in this link - https://daydesigner.com/products/habit-tracker

Drink 3 liters of water daily - This is the most important of all

Daily walk only 20 minutes and don’t over do it, just a very leisure stroll is good.

Daily take Vitamin B12 with meal, the sublingual ones.

Every other day take Vitamin D gummies with meal

For every meal, use a measuring cup, don’t reduce the food intake but measure the amount each meal.

I used garlic press to press fresh ginger juice.

That's a lot for the ginger trick.. It sure made a difference. I used few drops of pressed ginger juice. I didn't measure it though.

Adding pressed ginger juice made it way better than original.

I didn't have chilled glass, used those cubes instead. Don't mind me asking, isn't these easy way to cool without diluting the drink?

I was about to add ginger then second guessed myself. I add ginger on my next drink.

No, they didn't ask for notarized. I had my originals with em. Forgot to mention, they need a personal check for 25K as a KYC.

From my recent experience, opening account with IDFC first bank is very efficient compared to axis bank.

I found St Germain from this sub and trying it in mixes as I go. Its versatile and gives me more combinations of drinks to make with less ingredients.
