Of late, I have been battling with a bout of stress-related illness alone. I paused and I thought, is it worth it? She is the reason for all our slogging because we are bent on giving her a good start in life. Like most young parents, both the husband and I hold visions of how we want our future to be like…a business of our own, investments that will reap profits, rental from properties that will generate passive income..
The question is, how do we strike a balance between our work, family, without upsetting our health? Having said that, exercise plays an important part in our daily live too. So we are eating very well — lots of vegetables, fruits, limiting processed carbohydrates and high-cholesterol meats, sugar and fats.
For example, my coke-lover husband cut down on his rice intake and fatty food due to his high cholesterol after being advised by his cardiologist, and I am joining him in this undertaking to motivate him. Dr Baldev Singh encouraged him to take periodical minutes of brisk walking to slim down apart from his weekly bowling sessions with his boys. Playtime with Kimmi has also since become more physically challenging because she is older now and is more receptive to explorative activities like swimming our fav!
Parenting is very much like running a small business. It can be very tiring and challenging actually. Must be disciplined in this though, because you will definitely forget.
But hey! Wearing a girdle or corset also helps in making the tummy smaller over a period of time. I bought my girdles from well-known and trusted brands like Wacoal and Triumph but gave up because I find them hard to wear due to the numerous amounts of hooks!
