Hi UVRC!

My birthday just passed and another year older. I often forget how old I am and actually have to do the math. However age hasn’t really ever been something that’s made me overly sad. I’ve always loved celebrating birthdays and often would plan my own parties.

I started thinking about what was my present to myself and recently it is a re-commitment to my health.

Weight loss is one of those things that you talk about when it’s going well and when it’s not you just don’t mention it. However accountability IS the thing that can continue to motivate yourself. I’ve needed something to keep me more accountable. Just over 2 years ago I had done the Noom program. The 1st time I lost 40lbs and thought I won’t put it back on. Well I did. Whoops! Travel now to mid October when I finally decided I WANTED to make a change and I signed back up. I committed again to myself to make the change. Now don’t get me wrong I LOVE all kinds of food and well sweets are a key to my heart. So I just can’t say no to never having those things. However it’s why I don’t have the problem with Noom. It’s not saying no and never. It’s mindful eating and thoughtful choices. You log your food but that helps to keep you accountable. So ask me anything if you want to know more but I’ve lost so far 14lbs and I’ve committed to being healthier and still enjoying my sweets! Just recently I’ve finally just gotten the urge to do more than just walking.

So if this helps anyone to recommit just know it’s one day at a time. If you miss a day of running you can reset and do it tomorrow. Just commit to your health and to your next birthday.

Pictures are worth 1,000 words they say. You don’t always see the daily progress on the scale but as the days go by you WILL feel the difference.
