Well, this post was not written last night as promised (I’m writing this the morning after).
Yesterday was day 4 of 17 before my surgery. 13 more to go! I met 5 out of 6 of my daily goals:
- Log my food in the Noom app
- Eat a “green” food at each meal
- Walk at least 5000 steps
- Peddle on my Cubii for at least 30 minutes
- Read the Noom lesson of the day
- Write a blog post (didn’t happen)
So, why didn’t I write a post last night? I’d had a stressful day, and my emotions got the better of me. I decided to have a glass of wine with dinner – no problem and it fit into my calorie range. But I didn’t stop at one glass! I ended up drinking another glass, and then later on going out with Jimmy for hot fudge sundaes. My elephant (a Noom thing) was on a bender. She’s back in her cage now, and I’m over the crap from yesterday.
About my elephant. In Noom I was taught that my emotional side is my elephant and my rational side is the rider on the elephant. Every now and then (like last night) you have to feed your elephant. Although I think I fed her way too much, she feels happy and content and it not likely happen again soon. By the way, I named my elephant Lucy – short for Lucifer.
Today is a new day!
