Noom and a LONG walk

 A little over a week ago, I began a 2 week trial of Noom - a psychology based weight loss app. So far, while learning very little that is new to me, the app has made me think a little more about what I'm eating and when. I'm thinking more about how much water foods contain (caloric density) along with calories and fibre. I often forget how much I actually already know about nutrition and I simply need to apply that knowledge. It has been a slow start, but I know that by changing my eating habits I will succeed. I believe in myself and it is time for a change. I must now begin to move my body on a more regular basis, also a challenging task for me but again, I believe in me!

Along with signing up for Noom, I have registered to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society by participating, with Angel, in their August 50 km dog walk! Throughout the month of August, Angel and I will walk a total of 50 km. I have set a goal of $500.00 and will work toward encouraging people to donate. We all know someone who has been touched by cancer. It is horrible and life changing both for the person fighting and their family and friends and I am happy to do absolutely anything to help raise research money. 

Tonight I discovered that Samsung's S-Health will allow me to carry on with the food logging that I have been doing with Noom, once my 2 week trial comes to an end in 3 days. 

Plans! Plans are what I need to have and to stick to in order to achieve this goal, and dammit I will succeed! I am determined to do this and I believe that I have put many great plans into place; plans that are achievable! Will I falter? Absolutely! But, this time I will NOT give up just because I have had a bad day. This is something which I need to do for me. I need to put me first and hopefully my family and friends will be behind me and ready to help motivate and encourage me!

 LET'S GO!!!
