Hey everyone, Sorry it has been another week since I checked in. It has been a busy week. I have been on Noom for 3 weeks now, just started week 4. In that time I have lost 5.3 lbs. This brings me back to were I was a few months ago. I hope to continue the trend. One thing that I have noticed with my daily weigh-ins is…

Hi everyone, Sorry for not checking in during the week this week. I had ever intention to check in on Wednesday and then they day go away from me. I am doing well on Noom. I have lost 3.6 lbs in the past two weeks. I gained those same pounds in May when I wasn’t working out much and eating everything in site. I still have…

Hi Everyone, Things are still going well on Noom! I finished week one and lost 2 lbs. It was two pounds that I had gained since the beginning of April, but I am happy to be going in the right direction again. I have been eating a lot more fruits and vegetables and drinking more water, so that is awesome. My workouts are…

Hi Everyone, I have really been struggling after being sick and the beginning of April, followed by a mini vacation. Since then I haven't really be watching what I have been eating and actually gained a little. I am trying to get back on track and decided to join NOOM! to get a little support and expert advice. I have been…

Hi Everyone, it has been a few weeks since I logged in. My exercise habits over the last few weeks have been sparse. I had a bout of vertigo that kept me down for a few days. One day I barely got out of bed, I think it was the worst calorie burn EVER. I am just now getting back to regular workouts, but I am pretty much…

Welcome @Efsim & @AmyLauren2019! I have been a little lazy this week after being sick for a week. I was feeling better last week by I didn't workout and this past week I was fine, but just didn't feel like picking up the intensity. I hope to get back to running in the next week or so. I have been doing okay with my diet. I…

Hey everyone, I have been sick all week and haven't been able to workout at all. I have gained 2 pounds from eating poorly and drinking gingerale and popping cough drops like they are candy. Over the last week I haven't been able to sleep through the night because I am constantly waking up coughing. Until last night the…

Hey Everyone, Last Saturday Steve and I went indoor rock climbing. It was scary, challenging and fun all at the same time. We had a really good time, and I was sore a bit on Sunday, but it got worse on Monday. Then I came down with a cold on Monday. I got up yesterday morning and walked on the treadmill, but throughout the…

@loonyhiker - Wow that sounds scary. But at least they figured out what was going on with you. With all the tests I had yesterday, they weren't able to find anything. The bloodwork came back and I don't think I could be any healthier. I just don't know why I was having the pain. I haven't had any strong pain since…

Hey everyone, how is everything going? I got a new scale this week, one the provides a whole lot of data in addition to body weight. I have also had a bit of pain in left lung, the past couple of days which has prevented me from running. I went to the doctor today, but nothing came of it. They were unable to tell me what…

Hey everyone, I got a new computer this weekend, so I spent the better part of Saturday evening migrating all of my information from my old computer to the new one. I had another great run on Saturday, but I was feeling it on Sunday, and still today. I have been watching running technique videos and changed how I was…

Wow, has it really been three days since I checked in. I had an amazing run today. It was a walk run, 2 minutes run, 3 minutes, walk, but a the end I decided to just keep running, and I ended up running for a full 15 minutes straight at the end of the run. I was feeling really good so I just kept going. I only stopped…

Hi Everyone, Yesterday, I finally made the determination that I am much better off doing my running workouts first thing in the morning before I eat anything. This isn’t a problem during the week, because I typically get up between 4:30 and 5:00 am and workout right away. On the weekends, I tend to want to relax a bit…

Hey everyone, This week hasn’t been my best regarding my diet. I went out to eat a couple of times this week and I didn’t make the best choices. I am up a couple of pounds this week, which I believe to be mostly water weight, but still it is a bit discouraging. My plan for today is to do somewhat of a fasting/cleanse, and…

@janetay01 - Cardio is also easy for me. I never thought I would EVER in a MILLION YEARS I would enjoy running as much as I do. The problem I have though, is that I don’t want to give up my run to do strength training. So I need to find a way to get in a short strength workout so I still have time to run also, without…

@KeriA - Remodeling is always a challenge, things never seem to go exactly as planned, and always seem to take much longer than you anticipate. But just think when it is all said and done you will have a new space. Hang in there. Happy belated Birthday! Did you do anything special to celebrate? I am happy to hear you got a…

@CdnChick - Congratulations on kicking the nicotine habit. I have never been a smoker, but I understand how hard it is to quit. Congratulations on conquering that addiction. Don’t get discourage regarding the lack of weight loss after quitting. Understand that during the time that you were a smoker your body was basically…

@loonyhiker - I have used the SeaBands that you mentioned for motion sickness. They do work for me in the car, but I sometimes find the longer I wear them the less effective they are. I haven’t tried crystalized ginger. I will have to see how that works for me. I only went to Zombie Knitpocalypse once, but it was super…

Today, I incorporated an additional running day. So my schedule looks like this: Monday: Walk Tuesday: Run - 45 minutes - slow Wednesday: Run - speed work - 40 minutes Thursday: Run - 45 minutes - slow Friday: Walk Saturday Run - 45 minutes - slow Sunday - Run - Speed work - 40 minutes I have also been doing an ab…

Hey everyone, Sorry I haven't checked in the past couple of days. Nothing really new here. Other than a bit of a break on the exercise. This weekend I was feeling a little worn out, so instead of doing my usual run workouts on Saturday and Sunday, I only worked to close my Apple Rings. Saturday was a bit of a struggle…

@loonyhiker - Awesome, so happy to hear that. I have been about the same for 2 weeks now. Going up a little then back down a little. I have been thinking more about structuring my diet a bit more rather than just focusing on moderation. I might start tracking my intake on MFP to see if I am anywhere close to where I think…

@loonyhiker - sorry to hear about your weight gain, although it sounds like you might be right that it is just water retention. I am sure you will lose that in the next day or so. I am still keeping up on my workouts, but diet is still a bit too much relaxed. I am going to do some meal planing before I go to the grocery…

Every month my Apple Watch gives me a challenge. January was fairly easy, it was only to close my stand goal 30 out of 31 days. As long as I was conscious of when I needed to get up and move around that was very easy to do. February was a bit harder, I had to close all 3 activity rings 24 out of 28 days in February. I…

Wow, February got away from me, sorry I haven’t posted in a couple of days. I have been working out every day and closing my rings on my Apple Watch. February Wrap Up: I lost a total of 3.5 lbs, an inch off my bust, and 1.25” off my hips. I also added additional measurements that I wasn’t taking before for a better idea of…

When I started my workout this morning I had every intention to make it a short workout. My plan was to warm up for 10 minutes, then run for 25 minutes and then cool down for 10 minutes. As it turned out I ended up running for 45 minutes straight. After 25 minutes, I said to myself, I can do another 5 minutes. then after…

I had every extension of working out today, but by the time that I got around to working out I just didn’t feel like it. Since I have worked out EVERY day so far this year, I figured I could take a day off without feeling guilty. I will however make sure that I still close all my Apple Rings today, even if that means that…

I had all my knitting friends over for Knit Club today. I use to hold knit club every month, but last year when work was so crazy I completely stopped having club. It was so nice to get everyone together again for a visit. Because I knew I was having everyone here for most of the day today I wanted to get my workout…

@loonyhiker, LOL! typo! Congratulations on losing another pound and being at your lowest in a year. That is awesome. I downloaded a couple of those walking videos to keep on my iPad in case of emergency. Slow and steady as it goes. I have only lost 2 lbs since the beginning of February, but I am still very happy with it.…

@tiff0277 - I use the Apple Watch. I use to have a FitBit before I got the Apple Watch. I like the Apple Watch because it does so much, but I think the FitBit is also getting more advanced as well. @looneyhiker - glad to hear that you got your treadmill fixed. It is also great that you found an alternative for when you…

Good Morning Everyone, I did my longest run so far today at over 7 miles, and I have been slowly increasing my run time between mini walk breaks. I am currently running 12 minutes and then walking 3, but tomorrow I will increase that to 15 minutes and walk 5 minutes. The main reason I am increasing the walking is for easy…
