Hello everyone,
I had an account here previously and since then I seemed to have forgotten the log in information. So I'm restarting fresh and new. I'm currently 37 years old, 5'2" and my original starting weight was 190 pounds as of 28 June 2021. That's when my mom started on Noom. We would do the lessons together and I followed them. We managed to get to the last part before we ended up not doing the lessons on a daily basis. Before the holidays this past year, I was able to get down to 158 pounds. For Christmas, I told mom I wanted to restart on the Noom program with my own profile. I started on the first of the new year and weighed in at 168 pounds. Even though I've done all the lessons and logged my food and kept the calories within the weight loss zone, I haven't been able to get my steps in like I should and I haven't exactly lost nor gained anything. I think if I were to actually get my steps in then the weight would start melting off.
I did find a fitness routine that I think will help me build up to Foundation Light. Monday, I barely completed 2 sets of 30 wall pushups and 2 sets of 10 leg raises with my knees bent at a 90. Yesterday I did 2 sets of 15 jackknife squats down to a sitting position and 2 sets of 30 wall pullups. I couldn't manage to get further on my squats because my legs are not strong enough yet, but I will keep at it until I'm able to squat all the way down and back up before I allow myself to graduate to level 2.
Yesterday morning I weighed in at 165.8 pounds. For breakfast I had coffee with creamer and 2 scoops of collagen powder and 3 scrambled eggs. I figured after all the exercise my muscles would need a healthy helping of protein to rebuild and repair. My arms and abs have been sore all day and I'm certain it was because of the pushups and leg raises more so than the squats and pullups. Today's exercises are 2 sets of 15 bridges and 3 holds of 15 on each side twists. I will repeat these 3 sets of exercises on tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. Sunday will be a rest and stretching day.
My goal for the end of this week is to set up a meal plan, complete all my exercises, get at least 7,000 steps in by Sunday and prep for the next week's meals. Overall, I'm aiming to reach 130 pounds by the end of June. That will mean I will have lost a total of 60 pounds in 2 years and 38 pounds in 6 months. Since I finally have a big picture to help motivate me to keep on these programs that go beyond just the physical, all I need left is a support system to celebrate my victories and triumphs on top of keeping me accountable and on track so I don't fall into a slip or slide. Since convenience is a major factor in my slides, I'm keeping Darebee up on the computer so it's always in my face reminding me to check in. Now it's time I get today's bridges and twists done and then prepare a healthy breakfast of oatmeal, eggs and coffee before I get ready for the rest of the day.
