Monday Musings: White Coat Syndrome?
As I get older, and my general anxiety is more prevalent (in certain situations), so is my experience with white coat syndrome. My heart pounds while I’m in the waiting room (and then while I’m waiting for what feels like eons on the examination table). Half the time, it’s a miracle that my blood pressure isn’t through the roof.

How I Noomed
Hello friends, I hope all is well! I just wanted to stop in today to give a quick update on my weight loss journey so far this year. You may remember that back in early February I decided to try Noom to help guide me this go around. Overall, I was happy with the program and my experience. But somewhere around Week 12, I crumbled. I fell off the Noom wagon. Part of it was due to my own tendency to lose gusto and get bored, the other part was real life coming in and distracting me. Majorly.
