The fitness studio is open

Making good on my pledge to take exercise up a notch during my second month on Noom, I finally took the plunge and signed up for Apple Fitness+.

A month of Noom

Month One of Noom is in the rearview, and I have picked up some valuable new habits and a renewed love of food — but, for the first time in my life, in a good way.

Finishing — and facing — a challenge

In a first for me, I finished my January Apple Watch challenge faster than I’ve ever done, and I have to say it feels pretty pretty pretty pretty good — especially since it came just as my willpower hit a snag.

Finding my rhythm 10 pounds down

Freshly review: A chronic overeater’s thoughts on the meal-delivery service

We just finished our first week of meals with Freshly, and I have to say we’re pretty pretty pretty impressed so far. It’s just as convenient as we hoped, and our first batch of meals were mighty tasty. We opted for the six-meal plan to have three days of dinners for the two of us. […]

Pandemic eating
