Going to
try and get back into blogging regularly.
I have been doing well blogging on Spark People, so I thought I should
get back into it here. I started a new
diet app called Noom, and I sort of feel like I should not be posting about it
on Spark. I know when I type things and
then post them, I hold myself more accountable for following through. If I do
not, I feel like I am lying, and I hate to lie. Truth is so much more fun. Anyway, my daughter has become my diet buddy
and my son my exercise coach (he makes me walk) LOL. She and I are following a strict 1200-1500
calorie a day diet, well I am strict, she is more relaxed. I do not say no if
she wants an extra snack. I did explain to my kids that I will no longer be
cooking full meals. If they want that, then they can make it on own. Yes, I am being selfish, but they understand. My knees have been hurting, and if I want to
avoid future knee surgeries, I need to get some weight off them. I also am getting older, and I need to be
healthier. I want to live a long time
for my kids. I also want to be able to move more freely. So, this is just a beginning journey post.
I will
add more about the program if somebody finds this blog. I do not plan on
publishing it to Facebook. I think that
will help me be a bit more open. I can
handle strangers reading my words with no care about judgement, as opposed to
the people who know me. I might have to
censor a few things LOL per Noom I should be at my goal weight in just a year (woohoo). I truly am hoping it works. I have been on it for 3 weeks now. The first
two I was so skeptical and figured I wasted my money, but then I decided to
really commit and do what they say, and this last week I lost 2 lbs. This is
big deal for me, as I have been trying on my own to get scale to move and it
has refused to for as long as I can remember. Working this weekend, I have been
worried I would slip up and cheat, but I am proud to say I have not 😊 I only have one night left to
make it through. Tomorrow will be
refresh day. I plan on using Sundays to ease up a bit by making a meal with my
kids, grocery shop, and prep for the week’s diet. I will add more on everything probably
tomorrow or Monday. It depends on how awake I am after work LOL brain tends to
barely function on Sundays.
So
please if you find this, and want to follow me in my Noom journey, feel free. I
will also start posting about my daughter and my activities here in sunny
Florida. Now that quarantine
restrictions are easing up, we are getting out more.
