NOOM
I started using the NOOM App yesterday. I haven’t been eating very well since I did the Game On! Diet Challenge and I needed something to kick my butt back into gear.
I had tried NOOM a few years ago and I wasn’t good at tracking my meals, so it wasn’t useful to me at the time.
Walks
Mental Health
It has been unusually warm (over 70!) for the past week! That is unheard of for November in Wisconsin. I have taken advantage of the gorgeous days by taking walks each day.
The weather has been good for my mental health, especially this past week with all of the Election drama. All of the walks I have taken help me clear my head a bit.
On Wednesday, the day after the election, I took Charlie over to Voyageur Park and we walked around all of the pathways. It was so pretty, despite most of the leaves being gone.
Election Day & COVID Thoughts
I am glad I started virtual therapy a few weeks ago with TalkSpace. I knew my anxiety would be leveling up as Election Day got closer.
I want all of this to be over. The election, COVID-19 (which unfortunately won’t go away after the election), racial inequality. All of it.
Even when the election is over, I expect there will some civil unrest, no matter who wins.
When COVID gets under control, I don’t think anyone’s life will return back to whatever “normal” was for them pre-COVID. I know mine won’t.
Game On! Diet Competition Update
Game On! Diet competition update:
The first week was easier than I thought it would be. To be honest, I was excited to be able to eat right after I woke up. I was intermittent fasting before I started the competition, so I was used to waiting until 1 pm to be able to eat after having quit eating by 9 pm the day before.
I plan my life out a day at a time, so my posting schedule can be erratic.
