Hi, guys. Welcome back to my channel, and to a What I Eat in a Day and exercise routine video.
I'm currently on a rainy dog walk. This is how we start most of our mornings. She's over there.
I don't know if you can even see her. There she is. But we live on some fields,
so it's really handy because I can just hop over our fence, give her a good 30 minute walk
in the morning. Sorry, she wants a treat. The good thing about having a dog is, even if it's
cold or rainy, or whatever, you still have to get out with them. So she definitely helps me
get my steps in every day, and I really enjoy it. So yeah, I'm going to take her for a walk. And
then today I've got a few things. It's almost like a bit of a wellness day. So I thought that I would
film it. I've got a PT session with my friends, so I'll take you to that. I'll just show you what
I'm eating today. I'm really trying to be as healthy as possible. To be completely honest
with you guys, I'm feeling a little bit doughy at the moment, but I'd actually be really interested
to know if any of you guys have had the coil and then felt like they have gained weight or
been a bit bloated. Because some days, honestly, I feel like I look about five months pregnant.
I think I can always make a few healthier choices, but I'm just really trying to get back on it.
Spring and summer's coming and I just want to feel really good. So I'll take you through what
I'm eating when I'm trying to lose weight. And I'll show you how I use Noom. Noom have once
again sponsored this video. I love them. So I'll tell you more about them later on.
But first off, let's go on this dog walk, and then I will take you to my PT session as well.
(singing) We're back and that
dog walk was three and a half thousand steps. So not bad because it's only 9:30 in the morning.
Okay. So for breakfast, lately, I've been having overnight oats. I love how quick and easy and
healthy these are to make. I just put 30 grams of jumbo oats into a container the night before,
cover them in either oat milk or almond milk, and chuck some berries in. I'll leave that in the
fridge overnight. And then I actually heat them up in the morning because I really do prefer it warm,
and then put a couple of scoops of yogurt on top. That's literally my breakfast done.
I normally eat it while I'm doing my jobs in the morning, like the kids snacks and
pack lunches and stuff. Then I'll also always have a coffee. This is my new favorite cup. I
got it in Starbucks. I try to have like four of these a day to keep up my water intake.
Okay. After my dog walk, I went off to my friend Zoe's house for a full body workout. She's a PT
and I've been training with her twice a week. She really puts me through my paces.
I can really feel it the next day. Obviously, I did a time lapse today. And embarrassingly,
we were matching with our leggings. So I'm the one in the black t-shirt who's being trained. But
yeah, it was really good. It's fun because we just chat, catch up, and obviously do a good workout.
Then straight after my workout, I went actually and met Matt in a local cafe. I had a tuna salad.
There was so much renovation and building going on at the house that some days it's been easier
to actually eat out. So yeah, I had a huge salad. I got defeated by it. I actually ended up
leaving this part of it because it was just so massive. And then I'm going to go back home.
Okay. I'm back from lunch now. I just quickly had a shower because I was really,
really sweaty. Whenever I work out with my friend, I definitely work harder. I was also
just going to track what I had for lunch in Noom and tell you a bit more about the Noom program.
It's something that you can use on your laptop, on your PC, or, like me, I tend to use it on my
mobile phone because I've always got it on me. It's a few different things for me. I
use it as a habit tracker. It's also a fitness coach. It's also like an educational course.
It's got support groups on it. And it's basically a program that uses psychology and social science
to help you reach your health goals. So whatever they are, if you want to lose weight,
if you want to have more energy, if you just want to feel like fitter or maintain weight as well,
you can take a free 30 second quiz today. I'll put it in the description down below. I think
it's going to be noom.com/emilynorris. You can do that 30 second quiz and then they can tell you how
they can help you reach your fitness goals. But I use it to track my meals, to track my
weight, my calorie density, to track my water intake as well. It also links up to my step
counter, which I love. But it's also more than that, because you get a coach. Mine's called Paul.
He's always on hand. I can message him with any questions that I have. The Noom coaches
are trained in fitness, nutrition, and CBT as well, which is cognitive behavioral therapy.
You can ask them any silly questions that you want to, and they'll also reach out to check in,
keep you on track. And as I said, there's also support groups. So if you want to chat to
like-minded people, you can also do that as well. A huge part about Noom for me is the educational
side of things. There are many courses that you get. I think you get like one or two a day. They
literally take like a minute or three minutes to complete, but it really does make you more self
aware. And I feel like I've learned a lot about food habits and myself as well. A big one for me,
which I think I chatted about once before, is calorie density and how some dense foods could
have been affecting my weight loss. Like now, if I go to eat some cheese or even raisins, which
I used to put onto my oatmeal in the morning, now I think twice because I know it's actually a very
dense food. I also learnt about how to unprocess my diet and that I do something called fog eating,
which is basically when you eat without even thinking about it. So it just kind of reprograms
you, makes you more self aware, keeps you on track, makes you more motivated and accountable.
There's also really good recipes on Noom, so if you ever need inspiration. Like, I know that I
can go onto Noom and that the recipes will all be very healthy and tasty as well. When I log my
meals each day, I really like the analysis that it gives. It uses like a traffic light system.
So foods are either going to be green, yellow, and red. It's absolutely fine to have all of those.
You can obviously have treats, but there have been a few foods that have been flagged up as red
that I wouldn't have maybe expected. As I said, I'll put the link in the description for Noom.
If you want to check it out, you can take the free 30 second quiz. They can tell you how they
could help you with your goals, and then you can carry on with it. Or not, completely up to you.
But with all that said, now I'm going to go ahead and do a little bit of meal prepping quickly. I
know I recently did a meal prep video, but all of those lunches are already all eaten. So I was
going to make some more for the next three days for me and Matt. I was just going to make a really
simple salmon, brown rice, and broccoli thing for our lunches. And then we're also going to have it
for dinner as well tonight. The kids are having fish cakes, but me, Matt, and Fraser will also
have the salmon dish. But anyway, let's go. Today's meal prep couldn't be easier. I'm
literally just going to air fry some salmon, make some brown rice, and also steam some broccoli,
and then just put it all together for our lunches over the next few days. The salmon filets were
absolutely huge. So I'm actually cutting them so that they are the size of my Palm. Then I'm just
going to stick them into the air fryer with some salt and pepper. You can marinate it in soy and
honey. You can use lemon as well. Whatever you like. But actually, I'm just making it
really simple and then I'm going to add soy sauce when I actually come to eat it.
As I said, I'm steaming a huge head of broccoli, but my steamer was so small that I actually
had to do it in two batches. Just going to cook that for about six to eight minutes.
Cook the brown rice for about 20, 25 minutes. And then once it's all done, I'm just going to put
it all together in these little containers that I have. You can see Kiki hanging around for any bits
of salmon. Look, she's getting a bit close there. But yeah, I'm just going to package that all up.
And then as I said, that will be our lunches over the next three days. I know it's just a healthy,
easy, quick lunch I can just grab out of the fridge. It's also dinner for us tonight as well.
One of our favorite desserts when we are trying to be healthy and lose weight is literally just low
fat yogurt or low fat Greek style yogurt, and then berries on top. So I've got raspberries,
blueberries, strawberries. You may have seen in my meal prep videos,
I tend to wash and prepare all the berries so I just have them to hand for things like this. I'm
also going to have a decaf coffee tonight as well. All the boys are in bed and we finally just sat
down on the couch. It's about 20 past nine now. I've got a mint herbal tea here, and then I've
also got some more water as well. I've just inputted everything that I've eaten today
into Noom. I also just checked my steps. I'm about 300 steps off. If I had gone on the trampoline
with the kids for even 10 minutes, that would've been over 10,000 steps. But sometimes when I fall
short, like 200, 300 steps, I will just pace up and down when I'm brushing my teeth and that
normally gets me over the 10 K for the day. But yeah, obviously not every day is like
this. Like I said at the beginning, this is like a wellness day for me. So obviously I did a workout,
did a walk, really tried to eat very well. So I hope you enjoyed this video. Let me know what you
think in the comments below. Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in my next one. Bye-
