The Noom app and logging meals

NoomNutrition

Well, I've blown this already!

I'm kidding, but while I was busy logging my meals into my Google Sheet the past couple days, my brilliant friend Tara brought the app to my attention.

My Coach, er, um, I mean Goal Specialist, whose name is Kyle, had contacted me through the app. Maybe I should be logging meals into that?

Duh.

And, wow, there is so much more in there, like daily reading and quizzes about health, food, diet. Logging in steps, exercise, blood pressure. And, yeah, meals.

So ... I went back and read through all the lessons, did the quizzes, and entered my weight, blood pressure, and today's breakfast.

Sorry, Kyle, I'll try to do better in future!

I'm not gonna lie, though, I hate being tied to my phone, so it may be a struggle. It's so much easier for me to log my food into a Google Sheet, you know?

This is what I was talking about earlier in this series of Noom posts -- if I have to deal directly with people in this journey, I may fail. However, I want it to work, so I'll endeavor to get my meals into the app, and I'll deal with Kyle and my Group Coach as I need to.

Logging into the app every morning will also remind me to weigh myself. Noom says a daily weigh-in first thing in the morning is best. This helps with accountability and serves as a reminder that I am trying to accomplish something here.

I'm in.
