My Philosophy: First and foremost, I want to say note that I
am not a nutritionist or a physical trainer.
This blog is simply about a simple yet sassy engineer girl’s journey of
losing nearly 70 lbs. and hopefully keeping it off.
I like eating and I want to be healthy, I’m doing it for me
and my family, hence the name NomNomFitMom!
Nutrition – I don’t
follow any specific diet plan (e.g. Paleo, Low Carb, Southbeach, etc.) I just
believe in eating good foods that are tasty, reasonable to make with a
full-time job, and family friendly. I
try to emphasize on finding recipes of my family’s favorite foods and make
healthier and more wholesome foods.
Prior to finding my “balance”, cooking was a luxury and eating out was
the norm. But now with lots of practice
in the kitchen, the roles have reversed where home-cooked meals are the norm
and eating out is the luxury! I believe
when people are eating out they tend to want to “get their money’s worth” and
therefore welcome HUGE portions. In
addition, a lot of people don’t want to bring home leftovers, so in efforts to
not “waste” food, they clean their plates!
I am completely guilty of doing that!
Restaurants and processed foods also tend to load up their foods with
salt and oils to make their food more tantalizing, so making your favorite
foods at home gives you more control and I doubt you’d miss the salt and fat
THAT much (or will you?).
If planned well cooking daily is not as time consuming and
tedious as it seems. I’m actually fairly
new to this all (I probably started cooking regularly in the fall of 2013) too
and hope to be able to share some recipes that make my belly happy without
making it wider! I’ll definitely have a
few indulgent recipes here and there to keep it REAL!
Exercise - While
this doesn’t apply to exercise alone, I believe you have to enjoy what you’re
doing. One reason why weight comes back
on is because a majority of people exercise or diet for one purpose,
weight-loss. Once they hit that magical
number on the scale or fit into that outfit, they go back to their old bad
habits and old habits brings them back to how they were (been there done that). While I do occasionally exercise more
aggressively to hit a goal, my new philosophy is to never quit exercising
altogether once I hit my goal, it’s ok to tone it down, but never quit
exercising. If you genuinely enjoy the
exercise routine that you’re doing, it’ll be hard to quit it.
