Noom Week 21 & 22

Total Weight Gained: 1 lb
Total Weight Lost: 15.8 lbs

I’m just trying to not gain over these last few weeks of school if I’m being honest. I didn’t post last week because I’d gained even more than this, pushing back up over the 160 mark for a few days. It’s been a struggle for me with it looking like I won’t be staying in my current job next year and no prospects in the school district that I have come to really like.

I’ve been stress eating and drinking, avoiding the Noom articles, not always logging my food and it shows. I even got an SOS text message from my coach after a few days of not using the app. It was a bit of a wake up call. So I started back up again last Monday, trying, and the bloat from the wine and the weekend slowly came off, only for it to pop back up again after a Friday and Saturday of again not following the program.

So I’m trying to make peace with the fact that until I get through these last two weeks of school, I’m OK with just not gaining. I want to stay below 160, but beyond that, everything is gravy. It’s a struggle to trudge into the building slowly dismantling my classroom, attending meetings about next school year and seeing the all the preparations for something I won’t get to be a part of.

Once school is out I will get back on track. I’m still exercising when I can, trying to make better choices and logging as much as I can into Noom. I don’t want to slip back and I’d like to see if I can drop 10 lbs over the summer. I signed up for a triathlon on August so there is that to focus on, plus my town’s 5K that I plan. Oh, and finding a new job.

I’m trying. I’m posting, to keep myself honest and remind myself that I need to stay moving forward. Mostly forward.
