Some of you know that I have always battled weight, high blood pressure, and borderline diabetes. I've tried lots of diets, exercised sporadically, and #COVID19 has not been my friend. I have found myself starting to feel more sluggish and decided that one act of resistance to the fog of life was going to be to reclaim my health. 

A couple of weeks ago I jumped on the @noom train and am really enjoying it. I have never counted calories like this and it seems to fit my personality (Not sure if that is good or bad.) The psychology, while not mind-blowing, is interesting and has helped me to think a bit more.

I've definitely been eating healthier and continuing my walking discipline.  I also have run a bit *shocker* *gasp* — and I still hate running. A couple of weeks in and I have lost seven pounds and will see the 180s for the first time in a couple of years. Surprise, surprise, healthy eating, and exercise works.

Not only have I found new ways to enjoy my food (More seafood, veggies, and whole grains) and have found great replacements for my worst enemies — get behind me potato chips — I also appreciate the ability to reward and treat myself as I go through this process. My main "reward" comes after my morning walk. I try walk 3-4 miles in the morning and on the last stretch home, I stop at @philzmiddlefieldrd and grab my reward: Iced Greater Haze, Almond Milk, Stevia, and Cinnamon in the Philter.

Week by week.
Day by day.
Step by step.
Meal by meal.
Bite by bite.

For those of you on the same journey, I see you.
