Doing Better

I finally got my meds filled. I've been feeling so much better lately. On and off aches and shakes but not overwhelming. How is everyone? Does anyone recommend and meds free stress relievers. I started working out but it's not enough. I need more! Just let me know

I just wanted to add something in about,...none other than,....your just starting to work out.

Similar to some meds we take, it takes a few weeks of a consistent and structured workout program which includes both strength training and cardio, 3-4 times a week roughly, for our body to adapt and see the benefits.

When we reach a certain point, our body's begin to look forward to these workout sessions and the stress reduction occurs much more swiftly. But like other things, we have to keep at it, doing something physical every day (like getting outdoors and walking), along with our gym time.

These are, for me, my sanctuaries and the places for me to go when I feel anxiety creeping back in.

Keep us posted!
