This weekend we had fun and celebrated Christmas in July. I blame the Hallmark Channel LOL all those Christmas movies got to me. It was a fun excuse to make a ham dinner with rolls and mashed potatoes. I also discovered I do not like purple sweet potatoes. I will stick to regular ones from now on. My daughter and I made Christmas cookies and homemade eggnog. My son and I watched Black Widow while dinner baked in the oven. Then even both had a present to open (love excuses to spoil them). It was not elaborate, just fun.
OKAY
back to fitness now LOL this weekend I got off track big time. I even ate two
donuts LOL, and they were good, but since I have had no sweets in ages, by the
time I was on second one, I was not enjoying it so much. It was too sweet, so I
will take that slip up as a learning tool. Now I know my sweet tooth is way
more sensitive than before. Which is a good thing. Means I am making
progress. I also had fun in my mind because
one of my coworkers who had teased me about my Noom diet, asked me how it was
going. I wear baggy scrubs so really
cannot see any difference. When I said I had already lost 15 lbs. (YAY ME) in
about a month and a half, she suddenly was extremely interested and not teasing
LOL. One of these days I know she is
going to break and want to try it too LOL I will help of course, but inside
feel so satisfied that I accomplished something they thought I could not and now
they wanted my help.
Not
very Noomy to gloat, but inside my mind I will a bit. Gloat is wrong word I
think, more of internal triumph that I am succeeding. It helps so much when I see scale moving. I cannot wait for the first time somebody
sees me and notices a difference. At
work I am sure will take a bit since all covered up with scrubs. I would have
to switch to a smaller size for it to be noticeable. Not going to give up my
comfy, roomy scrubs just yet. Maybe when I lose another 10 lbs. I only see it
on myself when I see my neck not so fluffy, and my ankles not so swollen after
working all weekend.
My Noom
learning coach asked me what I thought was biggest factor in losing weight with
Noom. I had to admit to her that it was the food logging. LOL, I told her up
front, way back in the beginning I would not be doing that since so
complicated. She said give it at least a try. So, since I had paid for program,
I thought I should do all of it at least a bit. I started super simple, so I
did not have to hunt for every ingredient. After using it a bit, I discovered
most everything I was eating, somebody had already uploaded the ingredients, so
it was easy LOL hardest part was remembering what I had eaten. I had seen on
our app message boards that another Noomer was putting their foods in even before
eating. That way they could see what their plan for day looked like ahead of
time and adjust. So, I am doing that a bit. If I have extra calories, then I
can divide them up between my planned meals for more oomph.
Today I
am going to try and stay on low side of my calories to make up for yesterday a
bit. Not going to punish myself for having a good time with my kids but going
to be more mindful to eat healthy today. So once done with this, I will get
some stepping done while watching new Leverage: Redemption (so excited) and
then have a healthy brunch salad. Afterwards will do some errands with my
daughter, and later tonight take my nightly family walk after eating something
healthy for dinner LOL I am contemplating Greek chicken with roasted veggies. I
found a calorie free marinade I am wanting to try.
